From Archiplanet

Welcome to Archiplanet!

Find, post, and edit the facts and photos here on your favorite structures of all kinds, anywhere, from your own cottage to the latest skyscraper to your nation's capitol.

Buildings, and people. We use buildings, make them, design them, damage them, love them. Archiplanet is a community-constructed collection for all the buildings, building users, and building creators on planet Earth.

"Community-constructed" means we are creating this site together, with 116,972 pages as of 12 October, 2008. Archiplanet uses the same easy open source MediaWiki software as the famous Wikipedia. Any registered user can edit or create almost any page at Archiplanet, with helpful support from the Archiplanet staff. Comprehensive change-tracking and community reciprocality back up this open collective-creation content approach.

Categories • Buildings • Houses • Images • Skyscrapers • Architects • Architecture Firms • Architecture Firms in USA • Construction Firms • Countries • Cities • Great Buildings • Historic Buildings • Buildings by Country • Buildings in England • Buildings in the United Kingdom

Now, in October 2008, with thousands of registered contributors and pages on nearly 100,000 buildings, 25,000 architects and firms, and thousands of places, Archiplanet sees more than 100,000 visitors each month—including you! Register free, add some text, pics, or video, and tell us about your favorite buildings, places, and people in the design community. If they're not here yet, please add them!
