Architectural Record - October, 2024

2024 October

RECORD’s October issue surveys four K-12 school projects—public and private, large and small—that make the grade in Manhattan, central Italy, and the suburbs of Dallas and Nashville. Outside of the classroom, we visit transformative expansion projects at Nebraska’s premier art museum, the Seattle Aquarium, and Portland International Airport, where locally sourced mass timber plays a starring role. A markedly diverse assortment of other projects showcased in this issue, including the House of the Month, can be found in Toronto, Denver, Queens, San Diego, and Montana. Related to the issue’s K-12 focus, the October CEU discusses trauma-informed design.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
