The Great (Weekly) Migration
Due to problems with my web host, in which my weekly web page would unexpectedly go blank from a couple lines of code, I decided earlier this year to migrate A Weekly Dose of Architecture – the website I started in 1999 and ran until 2014 – to this blog. So now you can find all 671 of the weekly doses under the "weekly dose" tag, and the few-hundred book reviews under the "book reviews" tag, combined with the ones from this blog.
The migration of that website to this blog, and the subsequent canceling of services with my web host, mean a few things:
That said, I hope this necessary but fairly ad hoc migration does not raise the ire of any readers of this blog and my old weekly page. Considering the short-term memory of the Internet these days, I'm not too worried.

- Many images on this blog will be broken
- Some articles (Kowloon Walled City, academic essays, articles for other publications) are gone altogether.

March 16 Update: I've reinstated some of the directories from my old server, such that in reference to the above:
- Visits to individual pages on my old weekly home still yield a 404 error, but the root page points to this blog
- No change
- I've fixed most of the images on this blog
- I've reinstated my articles and KWC page in the same locations
Provided the format for the links is relatively consistent, you should be able to hire someone to write and run a script to change the html links and test if they resolve correctly. This is a laborious job for a machine, not a human, so let a machine do the work.
