Designboom


Designboom: http://www.designboom.com/eng/

Designboom, "world's first web-based art" claimed by some people, is an architecture and design magazine, and currently has 4.2 million readers monthly from 190 countries. The Designboom website is produced in Milan, Italy, under the leadership of Birgit Lohmann, editor in chief. It provides snapshot reports from international design shows, architectural and art exhibitions, and interviews with and profiles of leading figures in the contemporary creative scene and in design history. Designboom publishes key contemporary issues and critiques of all aspects of art, architecture and design, especially those topics which enrich the dialogue between creative professionals, industry and society.(crowdsourcing.org)

The Designboom website includes a substantial section on Mies van der Rohe. This is organized into the following main parts: Biography of Mies van der Rohe, Mies van der Rohe Exhibitions, The Barcelona Pavilion, The Farnsworth House, The Twin Towers, and The Seagram Building. Each of these buildings is described in an illustrated article.

 


I like its clean background which sets off content in each site page and wonderful organisation of each section, and also fair demostration of the images/photos. Especially, this website adopts a brightly yellow colour used as backgrounds of label and  search input.
