But the web has also given individuals a voice that was previously difficult to hear \u2014 solo blogs offer a level of personal insight and unshackled opinion greater than that of the larger sites, and they also delve into niche architectural discourse that may otherwise be drowned out by the ocean of online information.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there are a host of well-known architecture websites out there, from Archdaily and Archinect to Dezeen and Design Boom. However, there are also a host of independent blogs that provide a valuable personal viewpoint on our profession and the built environment. As if proof were needed, here are my top 10 indie websites for architects \u2014 they range from the amusing, to the provocative, to the downright inspirational \u2026 Whatever floats your blogging boat, there is bound to be something for you here.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1402349136699Life_of_an_Architect.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i> Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeofanarchitect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Life of an Architect<\/a><\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeofanarchitect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cropped-LOAA-Header-05-26-2013.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Life of an Architect<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The online home of Dallas-based architect Bob Borson, Life of an Architect is one of the better-known, not to mention the most perceptive, blogs on this list.
