I don’t like long goodbyes, so this one will be short.

But I want to let you know that after almost a dozen wonderful years as editor in chief of RECORD, I have decided to step down, though I will remain consulting editor. It has been an honor to lead this venerable publication (131 years old and going strong) and to work with a first-rate staff of editors and writers, past and present. Most of all, it has been a privilege to cover the best of the projects that you as architects create, as well as the larger world to which you contribute.
