Bob Borson, architect and writer/manager of the extremely popular blog Life of an Architect recently devoted some time reviewing numerous architectural websites to come up with his list of the best in the world. He used only three criteria when culling his list:
1. The website has to publish regularly;
2. The website has to have some sort of editorial or 1st person stories; and
3. The website “can’t suck.” (his words, not PSMJ’s)
In no particular order of importance, here is Bob’s complete list of the Best Architectural Websites, along with their URLs.
