THE JOB OF RECORDING AND DOCUMENTING CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE HAS SHIFTED FROM THE PRINTED PAGE TO THE WEB. THE STORY OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE NO LONGER STAYS STILL IN OUR BOOKSTORES, BUT RUNS RAPIDLY ACROSS THE SCREENS OF OUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
WITH ALMOST 20 YEARS OF HISTORY BEHIND IT, AND OVER 100,000 PROJECTS, DIVISARE IS THE LARGEST EXISTING ARCHIVE OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO GATHER INFORMATION. MORE CAN BE DONE.
ARCHITECTURE ON THE WEB IS PERCEIVED IN HASTE, IN THE MIDST OF LOTS OF HYPE AND LOTS OF DISTRACTIONS. WE ARE CONSTANTLY URGED TO GO ELSEWHERE, TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
CLICK ME. LIKE ME. TWEET ME. SHARE ME. TOO MUCH NOISE. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONCENTRATE.
BASTA!INSTEAD OF A QUICK, DISTRACTED WEB, WE WANT A SLOW, ATTENTIVE ONE.
INSTEAD OF HASTILY PERUSED INFORMATION, WE PREFER KNOWLEDGE CALMLY ABSORBED.
THIS IS WHY WE ARE MAKING AN ALL-NEW SITE, A PLACE TO PERCEIVE ARCHITECTURE SLOWLY, WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS.
NO CLICK — LIKE — TWEET — SHARE.
NO ADS, BANNERS, POP-UPS.
JUST ARCHITECTURE, NOTHING ELSE.
Your Opinion Matters! We love to hear from you!
