With Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, there are a plethora of options for architects to reach out to peers and clients online. The recently launched website Architizer was created by architects, for architects. This free tool allows architects to post personal, firm, and project profiles, which all link to each other. Since projects often have dozens of contributors, Architizer links them all, from interns to construction managers.
Architects and firms can upload information and tag photos of their most recent projects. Curators can announce new exhibitions and events. Developers can hire architects based on their work. Clients can show off a new building, and fans can share photos of projects they have visited. Every profile is featured on a global map, and advanced search tools let users locate and discover projects. Architizer will also feature an interactive job board, a competition page, design school profiles, and guest contributors to comment on the latest profiles.
