Architectural Record - June 2026

2026 June

RECORD’s biggest issue of the year is anchored by a special section exploring critical concerns facing the profession today, including succession planning, the impact of U.S. policy on student debt and on work visas, and the viability of combining practice with academia. We also proudly present our 27th-annual Design Vanguard featuring a cohort of 10 promising young firms hailing from Barcelona to Brooklyn, San Francisco to Seoul, and beyond. And kicking off summer, June’s project section features a selection of singularly designed spaces in which to relax, play, explore, let off steam, and take in scenic views in globe-spanning spots such as Ottawa, Shenzhen, and Washington, D.C.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
