BLDGBLOG is an architecture and design blog founded in 2004 by writer and educator Geoff Manaugh. Manaugh is a former editor at Dwell , [1] former Editor-in-Chief at Gizmodo, [2] [3] and a contributing editor at Wired UK . [4] In an academic capacity, Manaugh has taught design and theory at the Columbia University GSAPP, the University of Southern California, and the Southern California Institute of Architecture. [5]
The blog covers topics such as urban speculation, technology, and landscape. It has been covered by publications including The Wall Street Journal , The Atlantic and The Architectural Review . [6] Manaugh's book A Burglar's Guide to the City was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and was named by Amazon as one of the best books of 2016. [7]
The BLDGBLOG Book was published by Chronicle Books in April 2009. The book adapts essays and images from the website, with new content written specifically for the publication.
Thus, when I noticed that The Wall Street Journal (hard copy) was praising an architecture blog I'd never seen called BLDGBLOG, I opened my screen and typed it right in—it was a winner.
