Practically speaking, there’s no project in the country that have remained uncovered in our forum.

Of course, most of more important projects, i mean the tallest late ones, are very discussed in the forum, but south-america countries need a better representation of accurate illustrations and editions in SSP, this is a public catalogue to everyone and the info is like a library of consultancy with a diagram, that must be very accurate and complete. I do not know much about Argentina those recent days, but i am sure there are thousand buildings of more than 50m in Argentina, historical ones, modern ones, that deserve the representation in bldg cards in the SSP register as well, which is not seen here, this happen to the whole South America cities, only 30% is represented, if i did not miss something. This is clear. When i was editor i corrected some styles and materials of some Argentinian buildings when illustrators put a diagram day by day. Of course more good people is necessary to have a great updated representation. For example i took a ride in the Argentinian diagrams and there are 807 representation cards of all projects ever had, built or not, but i believe more than 1 million buildings of more than 35m has in the country waiting for an enthusiast to draw it. Unfortunatly i lost the position of editor, not contributing anymore... I hope answering you in a good way.

También espero lo mismo que vos, que los nuevos usuarios aporten si es que tienen ganas de hacerlo. Este es un foro libre y seguramente en algun momento sentirán la necesidad de participar más activamente.
Tal vez puedas ayudarnos y guiarnos acerca de cómo elaborar toda a información de los edificios que crees que está faltando. Sé que tenés mucha experiencia en eso y que podrías ser de gran ayuda para nosotros.
Como bien decís, veamos qué pasa en el futuro...
Te mando un beso  Think about it!

Esta bien, mas respondo en ingles. This ad was good to call people interested in joining and contributing in a positive and constructive way. We hope that, cause we need more efforts done here for the registration of all south-america buildings, a very hard hobby job to do with very few people. I know, It is clear most of old buildings and structures in south-america countries are difficult to be found in the web, cause internet is much newer than the constructions, but architects, contacts, magazines can contribute also. For example i saw the city Cordoba and the diagrams, which are not more than 55 ones, most without illustrations, only 10 are illustrated, only
20% of the city, see
http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=2206 but the city could have surelly more than 300 tall strutures more than 35m needing to be represented here and i know there are photographers like you contributing in showing the building appearance in web with some information like building name and address, year of completation etc. I tried to make some standards of information to be put by editors in the bldg cards, in order to minimize errors and uncompleteness here
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=149116 but none of editors followed the standarization or even tried to make the cards as complete as possible. There are descriptions about the right styles and materials for example. Facts about the structure is more difficult to be find, but at least the minimal accurate info should have. It is not difficult to follow some prerrogatives to have here a trustible register. For that we need really good people enthusiasts with talent in doing the diagrams, with a hobby free time, it is a good hobby to do, with less money to spend, which i hope this call contributes for that. Anyway i am here to help. If someone needs some orientation or have questions i am daily at PM or MSN to answer, you know that, to help. I hope Argentina would have a great complete illustrated diagram soon after this ad call with new active illustrators and editors..
