Architecture Is Increasingly Designed for Social-Media Attention

New architectural projects are described as creations inspired by the past while proposing new ways for buildings to exist. Some upcoming European designs and homes being built in the American Southwest are cited as examples of this direction.

One view is that the Instagram-driven environment is influencing not only how architecture is presented but how it is designed. Beautiful buildings and iconic entrances may increasingly be created specifically to stop people in social feeds and attract attention. The trend is expected to become more common.
