Hello,

I was much happier with the previous archnet site. I used it mainly for visual resources and calendar function to keep up with the new events, lectures and conferences within the field of Islamic Art and Architecture.

The new archnet  lost the intuitive design I previously enjoyed  with the old website. It was much easier to navigate and browse the content in a clearly structured content.

The calendar of events is now gone! So there is not anymore a one-stop repository of organized events, conferences and lectures. I hope Archnet will consider bringing the calendar back to life.

"Overcoming looting and years of war, Iraq Museum moves to reopen"

Many pieces looted amid the 2003 invasion have been recovered, and the museum repaired. While tough challenges remain, the staff is optimistic they will soon throw the doors open to the public.

Dear Colleagues,

I totally agree with D. Ruggles concerning the new Archnet design. Why change a system that works well? The old Archnet was very well structured and finding images and further information related to historic sites was especially easy. In my opinion, the site is overloaded now with non-relevant gimmicks.
