In March, civic projects include a reimagined Halifax waterfront, Zurich hockey arena, memorial at Milan Central Station, Iowan fire station, and municipal office building in San Francisco. House of the Month is a weekend retreat near Madrid and Landscape showcases an overwater plaza in Shanghai. Elsewhere, an ancient Tokyo shrine gets an update and Brussels’ European Parliament Building readies for a redesign. Close-Up highlights a transparent NYU facade and CEU covers ethical materials. Two Philadelphia exhibits spotlight women architects, while new books tackle climate displacement and inequities in Chicago’s public realm. RECORD also interviews Marsha Maytum and remembers B.V.
