BLDGBLOG is an architecture blog authored by futurist Geoff Manaugh, former editor at Dwell magazine, [1] former Editor-in-Chief at Gizmodo, [2] [3] and a contributing editor at Wired UK . [4]
The blog has been well acclaimed by several publications including The Wall Street Journal , The Atlantic and The Architectural Review . [5] Manaugh's book A Burglar's Guide to the City has been published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. It was named by Amazon as one of the best books of 2016. [6]
The BLDGBLOG Book was published by Chronicle Books in April 2009. The book includes numerous essays and images from the website, but Manaugh's favored themes are heavily expounded in the body text of the book, which was 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.
