= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

When architects, designers, and construction engineers want to get the latest scoop on what's going on in their profession, one of the places they go is the Design Build Network website. The site contains a great deal of information for people working in these industries, including reports on innovative construction projects, list of product providers, and information on suppliers.

Along with this more focused information, the "Features" area contains thoughtful essays on New York's High Line, reviews of architectural exhibits, and interviews with people like French designer Andree Putnam. After looking over some of these pieces, visitors can sign up to receive their newsletter, and look at their publication, The LEAF Review. Finally, the site also has a search engine, a job board, and other career-related resources. Visit this site.
