25 architects you should follow on Instagram

Where better to see what inspires today’s architects than their Instagram feeds? Or watch their ideas grow from a pencil sketch into bricks and mortar.

In our edit of architects you should follow on Instagram, we’ve included titans of the design world – those with the legions of followers you would expect. But we’ve also listed smaller practices who’ll take you inside spaces you wouldn’t normally reach, and make you see the world with fresh eyes.

Follow these people and your daily commute will never be the same…

Snøhetta

View this post on Instagram

Earlier this year, Founding Partner of Snøhetta, Kjetil Trædal Thorsen spoke to @cntraveler about how we can find inspiration and respite in our local surroundings. “We know that we cannot keep on travelling as we do, and that’s why I’m trying to inspire people to look at their close surroundings. There’s a notion that the further you go the more exciting it is, but that’s not the case: the world is full of extraordinary spots and experiences, and a lot of them are just around the corner.” Read the full interview at the link in our bio.
