Big Big Building Collections
Construction Comparison of the World's Most Booming Cities. It's an innocuous title, but once you start poking around it's mind-boggling how much information they've collected on thousands of buildings around the world. From photos down to who provided the fire protection consulting. It's a hook to get you interested in Emporis Research (comprehensive skyscraper research software for real estate developers... several thousand dollars per license). It's a big meaty hook.
Also spotted on del.icio.us:
Michael Wolf Photography. His series called "Architecture of Density" shows infinite facades of Hong Kong residential towers, abstracted and sublime. I can't tell if these photos are just photos or if they're doctored like Gursky's. Mesmerizing.
