The brainchild of Spanish architect Ángel Camacho, the project took a few years to come to fruition, both in finding a developer collaborator and preparing content for the first maps. (For more architecture-minded travel inspiration, be sure to check out the Curbed guide to the world’s best design cities.) ArchiMaps currently has 11 map guides, including seven maps focusing on global cities like New York, London, Barcelona, and Mexico City, and four maps highlighting the greatest hits of architects Eero Saarinen, Mies van der Rohe, Adolf Loos, and Antoni Gaudí. First launched in 2017, the app provides comprehensive guides to architecturally-significant buildings, bridges, and more around the world.
ArchiMaps, an app for iOS and Android, is a gift to architecture lovers everywhere.
