Architecture Databases
A comprehensive listing of articles published worldwide, Avery Index now surveys more than 2,500 US and foreign journals. Three-fourths of these are not indexed elsewhere. Literature indexed includes architecture and design, archaeology, city planning, interior design, furniture and decoration, history of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning history, and historic preservation. Avery indexes international scholarly and popular periodical literature, US state and regional periodicals, the publications of professional associations, and the major serial publications on architecture and design of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia. Obituary citations provide an excellent source of biographical data — often the only information available for less-published architects. The index contains more than 440,000 thousand entries surveying over seven hundred American and international journals. These include not only scholarly and popular periodical literature, but also publications of professional associations, American state and regional periodicals, and the major serials on architecture and design of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia.
BuildingGreen brings together articles from environmental building news, products from GreenSpec Directory, and project case studies from High-Performance Buildings Database.
