Architecture MPS (OA)

AMPS (Architecture, Media, Politics, Society) is an international nonprofit research organisation. Its
journal is Architecture_MPS. The journal is published by UCL Press. Current issue here.

AMPS sees the definition, debates and concerns of the built environment as intrinsic to those at the heart of other social, cultural and political discourses. The territory it seeks to explore is an overlaid terrain in which the physical, material and environmental are critically examined through the prism of the cultural, the mediatic, the social and the political.

Its focus is cross disciplinary and draws on the media, politics and the social sciences. It invites participation from all sectors: architects, planners, policy makers, artists, academics, the public and community activists. It functions as an open access platform for publication, a forum for debate through conferences and workshop, a conduit for book publications and also operates as an academic resource repository. Run by information professionals, the repository offers up-to-date materials and listings for research.

AMPS is scientific level 1.
