Anyways, I am trying to conceptualize a website that archives, catalogs every building of interest in DTLA via photos. The main mission is architecture as a form of public art.
I'm not sure if anything like this exists - I mean I see some websites that might be similar but not exactly the same. Just wondering if you guys have seen something like this all ready done or any general thoughts.

I've seen websites that do something similar in terms of architecture for archival purposes (this website seems to do it more in a commentary way) less than public "art"; I've also seen projects by artists that do something similar but just in an image-based way and not comprehensive. Joel Meyerowitz is probably the most famous archival-projects-based photographer in NYC although his latest project was not about architecture but about its parks.

Is this what you're thinking of--urban archival projects for public art--or did you have something more specific in mind in terms of what of DTLA and how you'd want it documented?
