iPhone Apps Appealing to Architects and Designers
The New York Times City Room blogged today about a new iPhone app that presents Manhattan as it never was: Museum of The Phantom City. As you travel past highlighted locations, your GPS signals to the App to display what site would look like if the architects had their way. Basically, the New York that never came to fruition.
Some in our office have the iPhone, others wish for it, and some didn’t drink the Kool-Aid. But, this type of feature makes it hard to avoid the fact that Apps have the capability of speaking to a broad audience with acutely specific interests, like architects and designers.
This led me to ask the question, “what other architecture Apps are out there today?”
I performed a quick search and found three more winners:
I.D. Wood: a reference App with 60 samples of different types of exotic and common woods from around the world.
Sherwin Williams ColorSnap™ and Benjamin Moore Color Capture™ : Apps that allow users to take a picture with their phone’s camera, highlight a color within the picture, and the applications will match the color with several options from their color libraries.
Are there any more Apps we can add to this list?
