What is . . .?
ArchNet is a growing global community of scholars, students, and professionals concerned with architecture, planning, and landscape design. ArchNet provides these individuals with: comprehensive architectural resources, new perspectives on the built environment, and, insights into Islamic design and culture. ArchNet membership is free and open to all.
The lobby is the entrance of ArchNet. There, you may log-in, register, or get the most recent community news.
Each ArchNet member has a personal workspace which allows you manage your profile, add information about yourself such as your research interests, add bibliographic information, maintain a personal calendar and address book, build and maintain image and file collections,and, if you wish, make all or part of this content available for other people to browse through.
A shared workspace for a self-selected group of ArchNet members, based around a collaborative project. Members of the group share sketches, working drawings, other relevant images, real time chat, project notes, file upload and download capabilities and management tools for other project related tasks. The group can choose complete privacy for their work, or can chose to leave part of the content viewable to other ArchNet members, or to the general public. Any group of ArchNet members can create their own group workspace by making a request to the administrator.
An electronic calendar of local, national and international events in the community, the Digital Calendar can be customized also for use in the Group Workspace, allowing members to track events related to a common project. It can also be personalized for the individual ArchNet member, tracking personal and professional events.
At the heart of ArchNet lies the digital library, a continually expanding collection of fully searchable architectural, planning and design resources, with books, journals, abstracts, articles and other textual resources, a digital image database, including photographs, maps and drawings, focusing on architecture, urban design and development in developing countries and the Muslim world and other special collection materials as they become available in digital form.
These are threaded discussions to promote scholarly exchange between communities in different countries and very diverse regions. The groups can be unmoderated or moderated, public or private.
ArchNet member profiles store information provided by each member about themselves. Not all member profiles will be viewable, because any member can choose to keep all the information about themselves private. However, members are encouraged to provide other members with access to a CV, a personal portfolio, details of research interests, research bibliographies and related subject links for other ArchNet members.
ArchNet allows Institutional members to display information about the Institution and its activities. Institutional membership is open to educational or research institutions, academic departments, firms, centers, and other professional groups.
The Jobs listing is a "classifieds" column specifically for ArchNet members. Members can search and post regularly in this area. Postings are date sensitive, so you can be reasonably sure of the current and authoritative nature of the sources posted here.
A growing collection of course materials intended to promote the sharing and exchange of teaching materials across a wide range of courses. Course outlines will be supplemented by online notes, slides and other visual materials, as well as links to additional sites offering teaching resources.
