Architectural Record - June 2022

2022 June

In the June Issue, Architectural Record addresses climate justice, shining a light on the impact of climate change on disadvantaged communities, and exploring potential responses. RECORD highlights 10 emerging Design Vanguard firms as well as five hospitality projects, including a Beijing factory-turned-hotel and the reimagining of a disused Marcel Breuer building. June’s Lighting features the illumination of underground spaces, while House of the Month explores a seaside retreat on Long Island, and Landscape showcases a new bridge over the Los Angeles River. News covers the former Taliesin school's move to Arcosanti, aid for Ukrainian designers, and a SCI-Arc instructor's argument for ending coerced student labor.
