architectural guide for iPhone

architectural guide for iPhone


example of the application

'architecture' is the first GPS based architectural pocket guide for the iPhone by bas berck.
you can travel to anywhere in the world, and this application will tell you where the most
architecturally interesting buildings are located within the area. it gives you a history of the building
and the architect. it also shows two images per project, along with an associated web-site of the
building / architect, address, detailed map and walking or driving directions to the location.
where available, a google street view is also given.

the new phone app contains projects from 165 different architects in 270 cities worldwide.
it has more than 1000 pictures from buildings stored internally, from le corbusier, mies van der rohe,
oscar niemeyr to SANAA and OMA. it provides a selction of 20th and 21st century architecture
which covers the traditions of the world to classic icons and architectural oddities.

projects can be browsed through the categories of 'cities' and 'architects'.
no data connection is needed as all information and pictures are stored offline in the
end user's phone.

What a perfect meeting of technology and content. Whenever I travel I always haunt the local bookshops for local architectural guides. Now - once again - I'll just need to reach for my "phone". Thanks for the post.
