What do I have in my Reading List?

Everyday I find so many different posts, articles, pictures, designs and ideas of architecture and I would like to thank to that person who created a Reading List. It's amazing oppurtunity, because if your eyes saw something interesting while surfing the net and you want to find out more about it, but the only problem is that you don't have enough time for that, so you can do it later. 
So today, I'm going to share the architecture websites I visiting the most, the other websites about architecture I have saved as my bookmarks, what do I have in my Reading List and what Tumblrs do I follow. 

                                                                
                                         


So I'm going to start with my Reading List. I had to take two pictures to include all the things I have on my reading list.
  1. The oldest post I have in my reading list is called - House in Kashiwa/Yamazaki Kentaro Design Workshop. The reason why I put this in my reading list was: I liked the design of this house and I liked the way it was called: House/Container. I used the photographs of this house in my previous blog post - Squares and Cubes: http://mataskunce.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/squares-and-cubes.html
  2. Denver Union Station / SOM. I chose this post to put in my reading list because, I liked the details and shapes of this amazing station. Also I liked the place where this Denver Union Station was located so I wanted to find out more about this amazing structured building.
  3. Patio House/ AR Arquitetos. The thing that I liked about this project was use of a natural light and quite much use of a white colour. Also it has one more thing which cathes my eyes - a few concrete shaped deatails.
  4. Tuneful House/FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects. When I opened that article and when I saw that the house in the picture is located in Japan, I already knew that I'm going to like it. I did not like it only because of the fact that it's located in Japan, I chose that project to put in my reading list because it has concrete shaped structure and not usual form as a house.
  5. You can see that there are four posts about architecture school. I tried to find something proffesional I could do with architecture as my occupation for free. But all I found was architecture schools for college aged year students and where you need to pay. So I just left it for the future. If someone are interested in that, you can visit these websites: bartlet.ucl.ac.uk ; the-lsa.org ; thecass.com ; summerschool.aaschool.ac.uk
  6. ABC Cooking Studio / Prism Design. For this article I have no reason why I saved it in my reading list. Sounds funny, but I think I was looking for something new to read even if I had full reading list with articles.
  7. Casa Na Mata / NITSCHE ARQUITETOS. I liked this project because of it's form and the fact that it looks like a shelter in the middle of the woods with modern furniture inside it. Another thing I liked about this house/shelter was that it has a really strong connection with the world outside the windows. It's because instead of walls it has windows.
  8. Finally the last one and the latest one is - Extension Railway Service Facility / EM2N. I picked this project to my reading list only because of it's exterior. It looks modern and really appropriate design for a railways.

So now move on and talk about architecture websites where I visiting the most (when I say the most I mean everyday) and it's only a few of them.


  • So the first architecture website, where I'm visiting the most is - ArchDaily (http://www.archdaily.com ). ArchDaily is the place where you can find out more about architecture news, events, projects and interviews. This website provides me with inspirational projects and amazing architecture every day. As you noticed, nearly every post I have on my reading list are from ArchDaily. I Reccomend to have a look!
  • The second architecture website/blog I'm visiting the most is - Life of an Architect (http://www.lifeofanarchitect.com ). Life of an Architect is a website more like a blog, created by Bob Borson, architect from Texas. The reason why I'm reading his blog is because he shares very helpful and interesting advices and posts. If you are looking for inspiration, then you should have a look at his blog.

  • Archilovers (http://www.archilovers.com ). I followed Archilovers on +Google, and they always shares really inspirational pictures of architecture. Reccomend to follow!


  • The last one, but not the worse - Sketching Architecture ( http://sketchingarchitecture.blogspot.co.uk ). I found this blog nearly a few weeks ago and it's starting to be my favourite blog. This is because, I really like sketching and it's a good oppurtunity to get a really good advices by reading this blog. Really reccomend this blog, even if you are not interested in architecture, just have a look at amazing sketches.

The next part is for the Tumblrs I follow. The Tumblr program is good because you can get an inspiration from other people works.
