Who we are

It offers a deep and detailed panorama of the world’s main authors, works, experiences, and issues related to the field of architecture, urban design and the built environment. A collection of building portraits and interviews with architects, artists, curators, researchers, landscape architects, and urban designers from around the world since 2008. This database is available as a subscription service for architecture schools, libraries, and cultural institutions at www.onarchitecture.com.
Since 2018, it is also distributed by EBSCO.

Learning tool

OnArchitecture displays the oral and built history of architecture of the late XX century and early XXI century, with a strong emphasis on contemporary architecture in (South and North) America, Europe, and Asia. A direct contribution to academics, updating their knowledge, and boosting their educative practice -both online and in classes- dynamizing their methodological and pedagogical resources.
Librarians have found OnArchitecture to be a collection, which can be accessed from any location and device -simultaneously and unlimitedly, something fundamental since pandemics-, in which users can be administrated into various types of groups with real-time usage statistics.
Students have found OnArchitecture to be a catalyst for their initiative, self-learning, critical thinking, and global perspective of the discipline; thus contributing to form better architects -who will eventually make better architecture-.
