Description
Your architectural field guide.
Who designed the building you are standing in front of? When, and why does it look the way it does? Acarta is a field guide to architecture, public art, and landscape architecture: 15,000+ places, with photographs and the story behind the facade.
Know what to look at next
Open the app and there is already something to go see. Buildings near you, themes to follow, walking tours ready to start. Each suggestion says why it is there: because you like functionalism, because it is ten minutes away.
Read the building in front of you
Tap a pin: architect, year, style, story. One place leads to the next. A water tower in Oxelösund gets as much room as an opera house in Paris.
Walks and road trips
Follow curated architecture walks stop by stop. Put your own places on a map and Acarta draws the route. Driving somewhere? See what is worth a stop along the way.
Log the places you visit
Check in where you stand, or backdate last summer's trip. Photographs, notes, badges for the styles and cities you cover. Over the years it becomes a map of everything you have seen.
7,500+ architects and artists
Their works, and the places where you can stand in front of them. Follow an architect the way you would follow a director.
Bring your friends
Their check-ins and photographs land in your feed. Follow a friend before a trip, come home with their map of what they loved.
A living field guide
Users add places, refine dates, upload photographs. Every contribution is credited. The guide gets better every week because of people who look closely.
Free to read. Every description, photograph and biography, for everyone. Free to check in and to follow friends, too. With Acarta Pro you also get whole cities offline and unlimited maps of your own, and you help us improve the guide.
