Hi all,

 

We have also just been approached by Phaidon (product manager, Robert Easson [log in to unmask] )

with offer of a trial to Phaidon Atlas – see below.

They have given us some pricing based on user logins and it would make it expensive for us.

Would this be another service we’d want to try and negotiate an ARCLIB deal on?

Featuring 10,000’s of previously unpublished technical drawings and plans of key buildings completed since the year 2000, the Atlas is one of the world’s largest resources for those studying contemporary architectural practice.

 

The website features a growing list of over 3000 examples of contemporary architects work built since the year 2000 with new projects being added daily. 

Covering every conceivable building type from across the globe, each project is accompanied by technical drawings, sketches and photographs allowing students to research in detail, contemporary design solutions from some of the world’s most creative architects working today.  Users can search, filter and save information by building type, architect, location, materials and structural elements.

 

Each project has been carefully selected and curated by Phaidon’s architecture editors, as well as an international team of architects, critics and leading academics.

The website can be accessed from www.phaidonatlas.com  for a quick preview

 

If you would like to set up a faculty trial to evaluate the product, or would like further information about this new service, then please do not hesitate to contact me and I will arrange this for you. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
