Better late than never, we finally subscribed to Architizer, the social network for architects, firms, and architectural projects. The site was officially launched a few months ago with partners such as Cool Hunting, Storefront for Art and Architecture, and Abitare.

As you can see, the design is simple and slick. The tabs are few and well located, which makes surfing the site easy and clean, and intuitive search is a major usability factor. A notable feature are the filtering handles, to narrow down search ranges in terms of budget, year of completion, and other parameters. The map showing project previews by location in the homepage is definitely a nice web3.0 twist, and there is also a Facebook-style Archifeed to follow the people and firms you want. Users can also submit competition and job offers, which makes using the site even more practical and useful.

Architizer is structured to best serve architects and firms, but you can also find schools and student works, as well as magazines like us. The tool is powerful, and we look forward to making the best of it.
