Ever since prime minister Boris Johnson recommended that we stay indoors more than a month ago, architects around the country have been severely restricted in how they can work, socialise and pursue their interests. But it has been heartening to see that organisations across the globe have stepped up to do their part, making a wealth of resources available, often for free, to encourage us all to stay indoors, but remain active and entertained. From the comfort of your home, you can tune into anything from Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals to classic Formula 1 races, but for this blog I will specifically focus on what’s out there for anyone with an interest in architecture, whether you’re a professional, a student or merely a keen observer. Explore famous architecture Many properties designed and built by world-renowned architects have been made available for virtual visitors. Some of these are in remote locations, or are privately owned, meaning that even without the lockdown they would be a rare treat to explore.

(Faris Mousa: Fascinating architecture and beautiful food in northern Spain) Travel may be off the table for now, but there are plenty of institutions which are available to view - in high resolution and often in 3D - virtually.

There is a wealth of architecture books, seminars and other resources that will both keep you busy and enhance your career.

The architecture world is playing its part to help. Foster and Partners, for example, has launched its #architecturefromhome series to inspire bright young minds. https://www.fosterandpartners.com/news/archive/2020/04/architecturefromhome/

Our designs are contemporary and concept-led but are always sensitive to the architectural context in which they are constructed. Even for modern eyes, we provide striking designs.
