An interesting website with a really good newsletter.

Who We Are: Architype Review was created as a means through which to advance the discussion of design within specific building typologies and explore the influence that type has on the design process. Architype’s prime goal is to honor those projects that are challenging the limits and redefining the norms of a certain building type. Architype was created in 2006 by a group of architects, academics and designers seeking a forum through which to promote discussion and evaluate architectural projects that are responding to a similar set of challenging issues. We strive to find work that represents a wide range of voices within the profession. In addition, Architype seeks to become a design resource for architects, students, clients and educators promoting innovation in the field.
