3.000 projects live!

Today we’ve reached another mighty milestone: 3.000 projects live on MIMOA! And the honour of achieving this amazing number of 3.000 is due to: Andrea Tognon Architecture with their publication of House O in Teolo, Italy.

Three days ago we announced getting close to this big moment and called up our community to start a competition: who would upload the 3.000st project? It apparently motivated a lot of you to share your work and favorite architecture, but only one could be the winner and that is: House O by Andrea Tognon Architecture.
But ofcourse this is just one of the many beautiful architecture projects featured on MIMOA. We’d like to thank all of our contributors, who have helped MIMOA to become the valuable worldwide architecture guide that it is right now. It can only improve and grow even more. We’re looking forward to all the projects we will receive and publish in the future.

As we’re a great fan of statistics, here are some facts & figures:
