'''archINFORM''' is an [online database](/source/online_database) for international [architecture](/source/architecture), originally emerging from records of interesting building projects from architecture students from the [University of Karlsruhe](/source/University_of_Karlsruhe), Germany.

The self-described "largest online-database about worldwide architects and buildings" contains plans and images of buildings both built and potential and forms a record of the architecture of the 20th century.<ref>{{Cite web |title=archINFORM {{!}} (re)search tips |url=https://onderzoektips.ugent.be/en/tips/00001725/ |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=[Ghent University](/source/Ghent_University)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ArchINFORM.
