About this app

Architecture is everywhere. Vandelay helps you notice it.

Explore a curated map of remarkable buildings, from iconic landmarks to overlooked local gems. Open a place to discover its story, architects, styles and historical context. When you're nearby, open the camera view to see which buildings from the collection are around you and how far away they are. Distances update as you move.

With Vandelay you can:

• Discover buildings near you or browse by city
• Search by architect and city
• Explore architectural styles and related places
• Read curated histories and view photo galleries
• Open the camera view to see nearby buildings and live distances
• Keep browsing cached content when your connection is unreliable

Vandelay currently covers nearly 200 buildings across 61 cities in 17 countries, with new places added regularly.

Made for architecture lovers, curious travellers, design students and anyone who wants to understand the city around them.

Vandelay is free, has no ads and needs no account.
