How to Contribute
About
- Contributions are invited to the site on the themes of 'The Headless City' – architecture, city planning, death, regeneration and all that.
- Archiwik.org takes as its starting point the definition of architecture laid out by French writer Georges Bataille. Please read about the our ideas for the project, what it is setting out to achieve, and the parameters for contribution on the About Archiwik page here.
- The site will continue to be maintained after the completion of TULCA 2016 and will grow into a publicly available, editable resource.
Contributing content
- Articles on Archiwik.org can be created and edited by anyone. The site is built using MediaWiki, the same open-source wiki software that powers Wikipedia.
- Articles are added using plain text, with basic formatting tools available in the edit window of each article. To upload images, you will need to create a free account.

- Alternatively, look for red-highlighted words throughout the text of existing articles to create new articles on those subjects.
- Each article also has a discussion page, where you can add comments or input on any topic you see relevant. Click the Discussion tab on the top left of every page window to get started.
