Architectural Record - August 2024

2024 August

For August, RECORD wines, dines, and unwinds at seven globe-spanning hospitality projects—wineries in France and Oregon, hotels in Singapore and Belgium, a Connecticut catering hub, an eco-tourism compound in Bolivia, and a donut-shaped holiday retreat in the Italian Alps—that each, in their own unique way, bring the outdoors inside, highlighting the myriad ways architecture is enhanced through its connection to nature. Also profiled in the issue are a mass-timber office addition to rapidly evolving Downtown L.A., a university conference center in Morocco, and a reimagined 1980s-era beach house in Brazil. We also travel to Hong Kong for the first-ever career retrospective of I.M. Pei.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
