Architectural Record - May 2023

2023 May

In May, RECORD explores an eclectic array of projects: the adaptive reuse of a 18th-century hospital in Vilnius, a pair of new residential colleges at Princeton University, a town hall in Portugal, a Virginia entrepreneurial hub, a Dutch architectural debut, and a Southern California citrus facility-turned-dance center. Continuing Education examines decarbonizing concrete; House of the Month highlights a rustic Ontario cottage; and Landscape unearths an underwater bike garage in Amsterdam. In Normandy, Lina Ghotmeh reveals a workshop for Hermès while in Los Angeles, Michael Maltzan’s revamp of the Hammer Museum opens. RECORD also talks with Deborah Berke about her firm’s refocused vision.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
