Wikipedia For Architecture?
OpenBuildings is a website which aims to become the primary destination for architectural information on-line.
Currently the on-line architecture world is saturated by information overload; the majority of architectural information about buildings or architects is found in a myriad of blogs, wikipedia, publications and company websites. There is no central (re)source, or even a tool which can be used in order to intelligently search for this information on-line. Until now...
OpenBuildings.com seeks for architectural information to be open, transparent and useful, and will provide an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a one-stop archive of architectural information.
As described by the site creators, Adel Zakout and Tom Mallory: "It is a building directory which displays information from various on-line resources and is based on an openly-editable model; every user on the site can edit, add or delete items from within a building record."
"Various search and display tools are provided in order to enhance the user experience and allow for buildings to be discovered. Intelligent tag-based criteria can be used to filter through buildings while Grid, List, Slideshow and Map views provide for a superior visual experience."

In the acrylic paintings, pigment transfers, and marker drawings, the use of “erase face” and “limbo lines” all play key roles in uniting the fleeting present to a lingering past.

Form following function is the basic tenet of great design. Sure, it has to look great, but it must fulfil a functional need, satisfy the requirements of the end user, and look aesthetically pleasing too.
Great design is a joy and a pleasure to behold!
