Architects partner with Google Earth
Architecture just got a little closer with the virtual world. The American Institute of Architects has formed a partnership with Google Earth that will allow users to explore popular structures and possibly enhance the communities we live in. 3D layers can be added to Google Earth that will allow for flythroughs of America's Favorite Architecture, featuring 150 structures including 3D models of buildings, ballparks, bridges, and memorials. Another 3D layer features a Blueprint of America which is a community service funded by AIA will showcase on Google Earth how special developments are enhancing the lives of communities.

I noticed that yesterday, playing with Google Earth. Pretty slick addition. Eventually they're going to complete the tie in to local maps like Yahoo still does, and in addition to the simple architecture you'll probably be able to select a layer that shows restaurant, gas stations, whatever. All your map are belong to Google!
