UMAN Magazine is a journal and think tank initiated by students at UMA, Umeå School of Architecture.
We publish a magazine every year, containing our thoughts, illustrations and explorations around a theme related to architecture, art and society today. The material is produced and curated by the students themselves and as well open for external contributors.
We aim to maintain a platform open for polemic discussions, ideas and investigations. And to encourage students to independently conduct and follow through their own inquires and to stay critical.
