In the February 2020 issue, Architectural Record focuses on renovation, restoration, and adaptive reuse, as well as surfaces and building envelope products.
Five projects, across the U.S. and in Italy, demonstrate that the conservation or repurposing of existing building stock is the bedrock of sustainability.
A practicing architect and researcher at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, Weir speaks with RECORD about wildfire-adapted architecture.
RECORD surveys four upcoming projects by MVRDV, Moreau Kusunoki, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, and Bjarke Ingels Group with James Corner Field Operations.
Climate-adaptive features, plus easier installation and maintenance, distinguish these facade materials by CalPlant, Shildan, Echelon Masonry, Atlas Roofing, Sto Corp., Iko, James-Hardie, and Icynene-Lapolla.
These innovative materials add function and durability to vertical and horizontal surfaces. Read about new architectural products by Panolam Surface Systems, Neolith, Wilsonart, and Antolini.
