A little over five years ago, we crafted a list of popular architecture-related Instagram accounts worth following—and now we're back with an updated list! After searching for some of the most influential Instagram accounts for architects (and future architects), we took to Instagram to ask you which profiles were your top go-tos for inspiration, creativity, illustrations, or just simple aesthetic pleasure. In no particular order, here are eight accounts we recommend.
1. @shesthearchitect
Head over to this feed and celebrate the work and impact that women make in the world of architecture. The featured designs, inspirational quotes, and mini-history lessons all serve as a reminder that a profession that was once deemed male-driven has always been supported by contributions from women architects.
2. @marioromanoca
Step into the future of architecture. Designer Mario Romano takes 3D printing to another level with his exclusive line of multidimensional walls, dubbed “walls without limits.” It’s no surprise that his page is filled with futuristic structures of all colors to embody his love for curves, light, and complexity.
3. @buildingsciencefightclub
Sure, you’ve seen cool-looking buildings and construction projects before, but have you seen them marked up with annotated field conditions? Architectural designer Christine Williamson brings her passion for teaching building science and construction to life on this exciting page—perfect for those always craving to learn more (in a fun way of course).
4. @arch_more
Nothing says community building more than daily submissions! While this feed is sure to provide you with some heavy inspo from thousands of sketches submitted by architects from all over the world, consider submitting and showcasing your own work, too.
5. @modtexas
The Lone Star State is known for its live music, BBQ, and its hot temperatures, but what about modernism? With the help from architecture and design fans, this project showcases striking mid-century structures—bolstering with bright colors and crazy shapes—in Texas. To keep things fun, they have monthly themes for fan submissions. This month’s theme is brutalism.
6. @thearchiologist
Are you an architecture student? If so, this may be the one for you. This collaborative feed showcases worldwide architecture student projects and ideas. Bonus points: they also offer fun quizzes and podcasts, as well as post job openings on their highlighted stories.
7. @bobborson
The people have spoken, and they’re still loving Bob Borson's content! Borson’s feed provides insight on creativity and the day-to-day experience of an architect. By sharing his sketch tutorials and other helpful tips, he puts a face to the profession and makes it more personable and approachable for budding architects.
