AtThe Architects Newspaper, were plain addicted to Instagram. Sure, we love seeing Brutalist concrete through Inkwell or Ludwig filters, but theres also no better place to see where architects are getting their inspiration, how theyre documenting the built environment, andwhere theyve traveled of late.

Below, we bring you some of the best Instagrams of this past week! (Also, dont forget to check out our Instagram accounthere.)

With summer drawing to a close, its time to lay eyes on fall fun, and what better place to start than IG? AlthoughArchtober, New York AIAs October architecture bonanza, is a full month away, the Chicago Biennial opens in just two weeks. Though we didnt find studio pics of bleary-eyed architects on a work binge, surrounded by takeout containers, we did see participating firms working furiously on their installations for the second iteration of the Biennial. Check out a few projects below:

Andrew Kovacs (Archive of Affinities) debuted the colorful first drawing for his Biennial model on Instagram yesterday.

And at Bureau Spectacular, model-making is underway.

Meanwhile,CAMESgibson is hard at work on some sunshine.

On the other side of the world, OMA is showing off pics of the nearly-completeLab City, an engineering school in Paris.

And finally, just look at 3XNs magnificent staircase forUN City Copenhagen. Its sinuous curves respond to the dialogue and connection the UN fosters, but it also resembles a writhing snake coated in chocolate shell. (Theres a technical term for that, right?)
