Built by people who know tall buildings.

SKYDB is a professional community for people who document, research, photograph, and work with the built environment.

A database needs judgment.

Plans change, names conflict, measurements use different standards, and sources disagree. SKYDB needs people who can assess the record, not simply collect it. Here is how you can support!

How to add content
01

Add buildings and photos

Members submit buildings, facts, sources, and photographs.

02

Review and assess

Experienced editors check changes against SKYDB standards.

03

Maintain high quality

The record stays useful as projects, companies, and cities change.

Likeminded people and partners keep SKYDB running.

SKYDB has recurring costs for servers, image storage, search, maps, software development, review, and support.

People with the expertise and time can receive full Editor access at no cost while they contribute actively. People with limited time can get similar SKYDB access through a Premium membership. You can also use the platform without any obligation by joining SKYDB for free.

Membership fees and partner support cover the infrastructure and ongoing work.
