CriticalProductive Journal is an academic journal/magazine located at the critical confluence of culture, arts, architecture, and urbanism.

CriticalProductive is a platform for the production of new knowledge, co-created by improvisational thinkers and cultural workers from a variety of disciplines, who are invested in the intellectual project of advancing radical ideas on arts, culture, architecture and cities. CriticalProductive Journal is an independent, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal / magazine. It is a place where cultural theorists, designers, architects, urbanists, artists, humanists and activists reflect on contemporary culture and experiment with provocative ideas on how to disrupt normative paradigms, activate and catalyze new potentials, and utilize technology, data and moving image to convey information. We publish innovative research, scholarship and creative work that is at the forefront of thought on architecture, urbanism and cultural theory - utilizing essays, creative design work, contemporary visual art and photography. CriticalProductive Journal is distributed by MIT Press and published three times per year (Spring, Summer, Fall/Winter) by CriticalProductive, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) NYS corporation.
