The largest Web 2.0 platform for architecture

In cooperation with the architects HollwichKushner (HWKN) and Benjamin Prosky, we conceived and designed the world’s first online platform for architects and architecture fans. Architizer.com is an entirely new communications concept for and about architecture. Here, architects, architecture firms, architecture schools, curators, critics and fans are united on single platform on the internet. Users can upload, view, and discuss personal portfolios, information and photos related to exhibitions, construction sites and events, as well as data on projects by various firms and architects. Users include, to name a few: star architects and project partners Daniel Libeskind in NYC, Steven Holl in NYC and Jürgen Mayer H. in Berlin. Some of the top projects in contemporary architecture, including the High Line by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in NYC and the Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind in Berlin, were uploaded. Facebook is, like, sooo September 2009. If you're an architect, there's a new social network in town: Architizer. (NBC Los Angeles) go to Architzer.com

The launch party in NYC

The launch party for the world’s first social networking site for architects was attended by exactly those people for whom Architizer.com was designed—established architects like James Slade of Hayes Slade (Barbie Retail Store Shanghai), up-and-coming new faces on the scene like the New York architectural studio HWKN, but also architecture enthusiasts. A total of more than 400 people celebrated the launch of the new, interactive platform Architizer.com, befittingly held in an architectural Mecca—the Storefront for Architecture in NYC (designed by star architect Steven Holl). go to Architzer.com
