Building Types OnlineBuilding Types Online draws on the expertise and the high international standing of Birkhäuser and comprises the knowledge and content of selected Birkhäuser manuals in typological order. The approximately 850 case studies are documented with texts by authors who are experts in their fields with approximately 5,000 architectural drawings of high quality as well as 2,000 photographs of the buildings. Using a systematic and analytical search and browse structure that allows all kinds of combinations, the database provides solutions for numerous design tasks in study and practice. This tool will facilitate research on building typology and architectural design assignments. Thematic articles provide background information on individual building types or explain specific aspects such as lighting, acoustics, urban considerations, access types or planning processes. Annual updates will include additional 1-3 new Birkhäuser publications with additional building types and new projects. The first update, in 2017, will comprise sports buildings, hospitals and more housing types."

- SAH ArchipediaSAH Archipedia is an authoritative online encyclopedia of the built world published by the Society of Architectural Historians and the University of Virginia Press, and contains histories, photographs, and maps for more than 8,500 structures and places. Currently, the content of SAH Archipedia is drawn from the award-winning book series, Buildings of the United States, and includes histories and thematic essays from twelve of the published BUS volumes. SAH Archipedia will grow in the coming years, as we digitize other published BUS books, as current BUS volumes are completed, and as peer-reviewed, born-digital content is created. While our immediate goal is to have all fifty states represented in SAH Archipedia, U.S. content is only the beginning. We envision SAH Archipedia becoming the comprehensive resource for information on buildings from across the globe.
