Architectural Record - October 2020

2020 October

In October 2020, Architectural Record explores multifamily housing and the future of cities. This month’s Continuing Education feature takes a deep dive into environmental inequity. The issue also reviews the Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the Rothko Chapel restoration and expansion in Houston. In the news section, read about the five winners of RECORD’s 2020 Women in Architecture Awards, and hear from architects across the country about how affordable multifamily design is changing in light of the pandemic. Finally, don’t miss our roundup of the latest roofing and accessibility products.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
