As they say, all good things must come to an end, and today marks the last day of our 2021 archive roundups.

We’re ending on a high note with some of our favourites from the Architecture category. This includes Public and Cultural Buildings, such as museums, galleries, cinemas, religious buildings, community centres and so forth. We also have a rather juicy selection of Residential Architecture, with a huge variety of projects like houses, apartments, holiday homes, cabins, lofts, multi-unit residential buildings and more. Get amongst it!
