Architectural Record, March 2022

2022 March

This month, Architectural Record highlights civic projects including a New York nature center and YMCA, a New Haven arts incubator, a Florida library, and a Minneapolis public service building. This issue’s CEU addresses the role of buildings in removing atmospheric carbon. The News also delves into efforts to target existing building emissions alongside how architects at SHoP have dropped their unionization bid; vanishing midcentury modern houses; George Keck’s 1933 Solar House exhibition; and Theaster Gates’s 2022 Serpentine Pavilion design. March also spotlights “Modern Redux” projects at Indiana University and Berkeley, Seoul’s Nodeul Island, and the illumination of large urban structures in Cincinnati and Copenhagen.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
