Some of the best building and photography websites

These days, there are blogs on pretty much every topic. They give every person the opportunity to write whilst simultaneously providing interesting reading on a variety of matters. Architecture and buildings are an interesting subject for discourse because there are so many angles and aspects to consider. You can find blogs on design and architectural structure, blogs about luxury living, photography blogs and more light-hearted sites involving innovative living in small spaces or unusual houses. Listed here are a range of this generation’s architectural blog writers:

Brian Rose's photography site features his love of architectural photography, art and music. He's released a number of books containing his photos and keeps his site frequently updated. Here's an extract coming from a recent post: "Back from a week on the island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We stayed inside a so-called eco-tent looking over Salt Pond Bay inside the south-eastern tip of the island. It was a reasonably comfortable structure, but we experienced it at various times with a mouse, a lizard, a spider, a walking stick, biting bugs, and marauding birds. Underneath the hut, that sat on wooden stilts, a huge selection of hermit crabs scuttled about, their shells making a consistent crackling sound. Nature can be loud."

Trevor McClintock writes on a number of subjects that inspire his digital photography profile. He's fascinated with places, spaces and people and writes at length about those that inspire him the most. In a very recent post on his blog, he talked about his favourite spaces in London, which included the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes, The Albert Bridge and Borough Market. His blogs have an emotive and idiosyncratic feel and he shares a lot with his readers.

The Design Your Way blog publishes an entire range of articles on a myriad of style topics. A recent post highlighted ’25 Eco-Friendly Houses Made with Natural Materials. This is usually a popular topic on numerous blogs as safeguarding the environment and taking advantage of recycled supplies gets more and more popular. This great article features a house made entirely of bamboo in Japan, a home built exclusively with stone and wood and a ‘living’ house constructed into a hill, covered with turf and functioning entirely on renewable energy. Another post involves ‘interesting and new examples of housing architecture, featuring the Leaf House in Angra dos Reis, Brazil.
