Archinect
Mission: The goal of Archinect is to make architecture more connected and open-minded, and bring together designers from around the world to introduce new ideas from all disciplines. Background: Archinect was initially developed in 1997 by Paul Petrunia. The site has since become a top online destination for progressive-design oriented students, architects, educators, and fans. The Team: Archinect's direction is driven by the staff and contributors, as pictured below. Archinect's member-based community system allows anyone to participate by registering and contributing. Please contact us if you would like to contribute. We're always open to new perspectives.ForumJobs8 views / month

urbanNext
We’re an online multiformat content platform, started in 2015 with the aim of expanding, shaping and rethinking architecture and design practices through the contemporary urban milieu, especially pointing in urbanization processes and how density and complexity are forces for differentiation. We focus on the production of new content and in the distribution of remarkable works from worldwide thinkers, most of them academic referents. We publish projects, essays, podcasts, reports and photographic surveys, among others. Despite our mother platform is the website, we share the contents on social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn too.15K members

Payette Architecture Forum
Each forum discussion is approximately one hour long, beginning promptly with a 15 to 20 minute presentation, followed by open discussion for the remaining time. Presentations provide a concise focus for the ensuing discussion and will draw on photographs, drawings, and diagrams of examples that will seek to encourage exchanges of ideas rather than to simply provide information.Events![Community Placeholder]()
