Today is a big day for Architizer \u2014 and for myself personally \u2014 and I wanted to take a moment to thank the entire community for being a part of it! Today sees the launch of my TED Talk, originally presented last March, an 18-minute crash-course in the last 30 years of architecture history. In collaboration with TED and Simon & Schuster, I have expanded the conclusion of that talk into a new book called The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

You can watch the talk here<\/a> \u2014 and buy the book here<\/a> \u2014 but the gist of it is that we are entering a golden age of architecture for the same reason that millions of you can watch the video and see the projects in the book, for free, online. Because of the proliferation and increasing speed of media, more people care about architecture and are demanding better buildings. I am so proud of the part that Architizer is playing in this revolution.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, when we launched Architizer, we were bombarded by naysayers who told us that architects would never share their images. Boy were they wrong. Architizer now boasts a user-generated database of over 80,000 projects, uploaded by more than 50,000 firms around the world.<\/p>\n

In a few weeks, we will open up public voting the Third Annual A+ Awards; 250,000 of you voted last year, and we hope to see even more of you do so this year. With your help \u2014 and your contributions \u2014 we are changing the face of architecture. We are breaking our profession out of the echo chamber and reminding the world that what architects do is of vital importance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

I ended my TED talk with a plea to the audience: \u201cFind an Architect. Hire an Architect. Work with us to build better buildings, better cities and a better world \u2014 because the stakes are high. Buildings don\u2019t just represent our society they shape our society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together the Architizer community is showing the world that we aren\u2019t waiting. Architects from around the globe are crafting new spaces and places that are tailored to the way we live today. Let\u2019s keep building!<\/p>\n
