archINFORM is an online database for international architecture, originally emerging from records of interesting building projects from architecture students from the 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.{{Cite web |title=archINFORM {{!}} (re)search tips |url=https://onderzoektips.ugent.be/en/tips/00001725/ |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=Ghent University}}{{Cite web |title=ArchINFORM.
