Dear readers, I am looking to find architecture firms (or design firms in general) that managed to successfully incorporate a blog into their site. Do any come to mind? Would you mind to leave urls in a comment below? Thanks so much!

I can’t find many if they exist. I run a very small office, 2-3 people, and have a website and generic wordpress blog, not very integrated I’m afraid. I think most architects have left the world of writing up to the academics.
Very interested to see what responses you get.

Some great sites we’ve worked on with architectural clients who have really adopted the use of blogging to document their thoughts, inspirations and culture.
Henriquez Partners: http://henriquezpartners.com/
Their blog: http://henriquezpartners.com/archimemo
As well as the use of a lot of blogs (on a per student basis) for the UBC School of Landscape and Architecture: http://www.sala.ubc.ca/
Curious to find some other examples of architects who have adopted blogging!

Good question. Here is a very professional blog from the architecture firm WATG. http://www.watg.com/index.cfm?view=blog This blog has a public interoffice vibe. Like an extension of transparency to their firm. I think this is a very good example. Click on the architecture category (or any other category you’re interested in) to kick off the “fluff”! The blog seems heavy with information, that doesn’t seem relevant to understanding the firm. (Of course it is relevant, but when you first meet the blog their is a strong desire to find what really interests you.) It seems to be a very good model for firms to develop (to build image and interoffice discussion.) I’d like to know what the employees think.
