Founded in Rabat (Morocco) in 1994, the Union of Mediterranean Architects (UMAR) draws together national organisations representative of architects from countries in and around the Mediterranean basin. 

It was their awareness of belonging to a common culture, a culture shaped over thousands of years into this birthplace of civilisations that is the Mediterranean basin, that prompted architects organisations to create UMAR.
An instrument for exchanging views and information, the association thus encourages relationships of friendship, solidarity and confraternity between all architects.
UMAR endeavours to reveal Architecture to be of public interest, Architecture and the organisation of space being expressions of culture.
The Union claims its role as spokesperson for the 300,000 architects of the Mediterranean basin in dealings with all official institutions.

The registered office of the Union of Mediterranean Architects is in Malta.
The two official languages of UMAR are English and French.
