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 116,765 pages as of 27 May, 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 radically open collective-creation approach.
