The Architecture + Infrastructures Working Papers Series (A+I WPS) is an academic journal in the field of architecture. It was established in 2025 by the A+I research collective, a team of researchers from Dinâmia’CET-Iscte coordinated by Professor Ana Vaz Milheiro. The journal consolidates over twenty years of scientific research and academic work.

The project was initiated by the research project ArchLabour: Architecture, Colonialism and Labour, with the aim of creating an innovative and fruitful platform for scholarly debate. The journal welcomes contributions from a variety of geographical, disciplinary and chronological backgrounds, aiming to promote wide-ranging and thought-provoking debates at the intersection of colonial architecture, labour, social history and construction technology.

A+I WPS publishes original research articles, and the editorial committee and/or guest editors for each volume are exclusively responsible for selecting materials for publication. Articles are selected according to scope and publication guidelines to promote high-quality work. No restrictions are imposed on the basis of academic qualification, institutional affiliation, or geographical origin. All research articles are selected and evaluated through a double-blind peer review process.

A+I WPS is published online twice yearly, and is available in open access on the journal’s website. The journal is supported by Dinâmia’CET-Iscte and the European Research Council (ArchLabour, 101096606).
