REVIEW:
Billed as the "leading architecture site on the Web," the Great Buildings Collection offers up-to-date information on architectural design. It is a great starting point for students or anyone studying architecture. There are sections that cover building types, styles, architects, and places around the world. Many of the records include simple to complex 3-D models, photographs, architectural plans, and the latest in architectural news. Available at the site are also bibliographies, commentaries, and a picture index where visitors can get a glimpse of the buildings without searching through the records and a list of the 30 most-accessed building pages and architect pages.
