Architectural Record - August, 2021

2021 August

In the August 2021 issue, Architectural Record explores imaginative solutions for urban transportation hubs and other infrastructure in a section that doubles as the CEU. Read about a range of projects from an elegant pedestrian bridge in Lower Manhattan to an ongoing megaproject transforming Stuttgart’s central rail station and take an online quiz to earn one hour of continuing education credit. Other stories take a closer look at Frank Gehry’s LUMA Arles tower and the recently-renovated La Samaritaine building in France. Plus, explore a lighting section and new outdoor products for the summer—all in this issue, and more!
