BROWSE ALL ISSUES: Our topic-based journal brings together global contributors from different disciplines that explore a topic from multiple points of view and perspectives. 
BROWSE ALL EVENTS: Our spring and fall events act as an extension of the topics explored in the issues. 
BROWSE ALL OBSERVATIONS: MAS Context Observations features individual articles focused on the intersection between the built environment and other disciplines. 
BROWSE ALL DIALOGUES: Our series of conversations with Chicago-based practitioners focused on design and the built environment in and around Chicago.
MAS Context is a Chicago-based not-for-profit organization that addresses issues that affect the urban context. We do so through publications, various types of public events, and installations. Each publication delivers a comprehensive view of a single topic through the active participation of people from different fields and different perspectives who, together, instigate the debate.
Our current issue focuses on Character and has been guest edited by Design With Company. The issue is dedicated to the memory of architect, author, and educator Stanley Tigerman (1930-2019).
Below is an evolving collection of articles selected by our editor in chief Iker Gil.
