Radio Architect
By Farzam Kharvari: As the world is developing its way of communication, we, the architects need to be more curious on stuff around us!
Rise of different philosophies around the globe, rapid growth in our awareness, transformation of communication types and many more items around are leading the ARCHITECTURE to an absolute new brand of its roots!
It is time to ask: are we, the TRANSFORMERS or are we the results of TRANSFORMATIONS of GENIUS LOCUS (the protective spirit of a place)?

The Psychology of Architecture and Design
By dennisleigh: This blog is about the interdependence of our state of mind and the built environment. Different life experiences can be turned into metaphors and then, transformed into shapes and colors that affect how we live our lives.
Thirty-five & 5 - A continuing journey
By TAB1006: This is an account of my journey towards licensure, the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. At 35, many people, including myself at times, doubt that completion of the journey I started nearly a decade ago can be obtained. But here I am, with 2 years of school and all of my internship ahead of me, finally working in a firm after escaping the world of retail. May these thoughts serve as inspiration for those in doubt, encourage supportive wisdom, and of course, an outlet for frustration!
Insane Cities - Misunderstanding everything about this place...
By adityaghosh13: There is a firm discourse, opinion and even a strange complacence about our knowledge of the city, people, space and time. Labels abound; traditionalist, modernist, building, design, blog.
What if critique or opinions are pointless because of a clear disdain for objectivity. How would I describe the world around me if I countered every POV with a logical argument?
The blog will be a glimpse into everyday practices, with a strong bias towards un-designing urban-scape.

DE_CON - ANA_ARCHITECTURE
By Rob Mothershed: We want to examine,discuss, and research new paradigms, new spaces, new structures, and new modes of construction. We are looking to 1988-1998 to see how the digital and pre digital has played out. We are tired of seeing the architect- provide a service and we are eager to see the Architect as Master Builder.

Professional Δ Academia - Exploring the interstitial space between the professional and academic realms
By Commix: There is a definite divide between the professional and academic realms of architecture. This blog is an exploration in how each paradigm could be used to inform the other. The commentary is based on my own experience at small firms and the dialog I've had with students, firm principles, contractors, fabricators, and faculty in a major metro area on the East Coast of the United States.

Architecture is...
By RGX_MERCADO: I come across very interesting studies and experiments in general context, that can be applied to architecture and design in creative ways. From Autodesk research and development Articles, innovative technology to control Arduino, to my opinions and analysis on the influence of Tadao Ando's architecture in Mexico. My objective is to push the boundaries of research and development borrowing from professional field's in and outside of architecture, as well as sharing current research and work.

City of Glass - #Vancouverproblems
By Ekaterina Dovjenko: Vancouver, the City of Glass. It’s a city of shinning skyscrapers and cardboard homes: a city of spectacular natural beauty, crushing rain, award winning livability and a frightening income gap.

It’s a city of contradiction—and it’s growing.

This blog will follow Vancouver through its coming of age. It will highlight the city’s search for new forms, its attempts at new urbanism, and its struggles and moments of success within the world of architecture, planning and design.

But I Digress...

By Tyler Kvochick: As a student of architecture, academic studies often yield digressions that cannot be examined fully in a scholastic environment. This weblog will serve as an outlet for abstract curiosities in architecture and its related fields. Though the individual entries are not sequential in their discourse, they all occupy a miasma of deeper inquisitions raised by learning in the superficiality of a media-centric world. : As a student of architecture, academic studies often yield digressions that cannot be examined fully in a scholastic environment.
