Architizer: View Astonishing Geo-Tagged Architectural Designs / Projects

Architizer is a website created by architects for architects. It is an open community that aims to empower architecture. Here, you can find architects, buildings, interior designs, materials, jobs, competitions, design schools and many more. One can view and be amazed by projects not only locally but internationally.

Since one architectural project has several contributors, from the interns who made the conceptual models to the construction administrator in-charge of the project. Architizer links all members of the architectural community to interact and share ideas with one another. It is also a way of inspiration to new architects, designers and other professionals in the field.

The website may have been created for architects, but for curious spectators like us, it’s another way of viewing fantastic architecture projects created by great architectural minds worldwide. You’ll be able to view different projects by clicking the thumbnails on the Google Powered map found on Architizer’s main page. You can find detailed information about a building that interests you which includes materials used, location and other information that architects and clients might find useful.

Whether you are an architect, interior designer, a client or someone who just enjoys and appreciates different architectures, Architizer will surely provide you with the inspiration and detailed information about different structures created by different people from different countries.

Room Makeover from Design My Room

This is a neat tool for interior designers and for someone who is considering doing a room makeover. The site is called Design My Room. Whether you are an aspiring interior designer or just want to plainly fool around, I think you would find this site quite enjoyable. You can decorate practically any room that you can find in your own house including the basement, garage and laundry room. The site features an easy to use interface except for the part where you want to rotate an object to conform to the perspective. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that just yet. Real life interior designers have also something to show you in Design My Room, and you can check out their designs through the website and maybe give you an idea of what’s cool or not.

What is useful about this site is that it features real world products to choose from and it comes with prices and where to get them. It’s an interesting advertising move if you ask me. Instead of just playing around with a virtual appliance or furniture, you can actually place products that actually exist.

They also have a new feature planned for the near future. If you plan to apply designs to your own room, you will be able to upload an actual photo of your room and explore new colors and products. So, have fun with the site.
