MapAoA is a community website for people interested in architecture. The site content will be provided and updated through input from community users. Wansoo Im is founder of the www.ilovegis.com site, a website that promotes Geographic Information Systems in K-12 education, as well as founder and head of VERTICES, LLC, a GIS consulting and application development firm. A long-time user of interactive maps, Wansoo conceived the idea of the Archives of Architecture site but didn’t have the time and resources to design it. When Wansoo met Haeseok Ko, a graduate of Princeton University Graduate School of Architecture, the site could finally become a reality.
MapAoA uses the power of Google Map to unite architectural data with spatial location, combined with the flexibility of user-friendly two-way information exchange via the Internet. The richness of a MapAoA site is as limitless as its contributers’ input.

We hope the MapAoA site becomes a useful resource for architects and others interested in architecture. We need volunteers who can contribute photos and comments for the sites. We hope those who use the photos on this website include the appropriate citation of the MapAoA source so volunteers can be encouraged and adequately credited.

Enjoy.
