Summary:
Opening with an essay by Andreas Marx on the role of workplaces in cities, this special edition of the magazine presents eighteen international works that reflect the increasing flexibility of creative jobs in the 21st century. Designers, artists, and many other professionals are approaching their daily activities in new ways, and the freedom offered by mobile devices and Internet ubiquity is liberating their fast-paced work from prescribed locations and times. Office systems are incorporating new functions and activities as a result, like open zones without hierarchies and areas that operate like urban public spaces. With works by 3XN, Torafu Architects, OMA, Davidson Rafailidis, and more.

This special issue examines the phenomenon of the global museum and its diversification, as well as how this expansion of scope and collections has impacted museum architecture. The new generation of museums, besides being geopolitically diverse, has also become more egalitarian, which in turn makes branding and consumerism integral to their operations. Fourteen new museums and museum expansions are featured, including the New Tate Modern by Herzog & de Meuron, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art expansion by Snøhetta, Kunstmuseum Basel by Christ & Gantenbein, National Museum in Szczecin by KWK Promes, and Lisbon’s MAAT by AL_A.

Summary:
The preservation of a historically significant building sometimes clashes with the need to change its use. This issue explores a particular architectural solution, one that preserves the existing structure while extending it within the vertical. The resulting hybrid offers an intriguing interface between old and new, as seen in Herzog & de Meuron’s recently opened Elbphilharmonie, Zaha Hadid’s Port House in Antwerp, and Matrera Castle by Carquero Arquitectura. Also in this issue, special features on pavilion morphology and the shipping container typology, plus the new urban landmarks Malmö Live by Schmidt Hammer Lassen and Rotterdam’s Timmerhuis by OMA.

The first considers two new linear projects in Italy – Herzong & de Meuron’s Feltrinelli Porta Volta in Milan and City of Sun by Labics in Rome – both of which interject a modern palisade along the edge of well-defined urban district.

The final section takes rammed earth as its subject, highlighting five architects who show that this ancient material can still be used to produce exciting modern architecture.

This edition presents two themes: wood and small-scale residential solutions. The first addresses wood as an age-old construction material, focusing on its ‘biotechnology’ aspects and intrinsic characteristics. It features eleven recent wood buildings by offices such as Ateliers Jean Nouvel, White Arkitekter, and Graham Baba Architects. The second theme looks at designs for smaller housing spaces and dwellings that are somehow related to the notion of temporary use, in answer to today’s urban lifestyle and introducing flexibility, new sharing systems, and a more communitarian way of life. It highlights projects by Pereda Pérez Arquitectos, EZZO, Arqmov Workshop, and more.

Summary:
This special issue’s theme is on grafting strategies in architecture, which can be seen as threefold: reinvention asks the question of what old architecture can offer new; preservation implies that the value of history is for its own sake; and restoration suggests that the purpose of history is to interact with the present. Included are sixteen recent buildings where the designers have skilfully inserted new architecture into old, in the process addressing architecture’s relationship with time and our relationship with history. With projects by John Pawson, Archstudio, Foster + Partners, Smartvoll, SUMA, Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu, CASCA, Flores & Prats Architects, more.

Summary:
We are witnessing a time of unprecedented migration to urban centres, and as such it is imperative to analyse what makes communities thrive. The density and urban fabric of neighbourhoods has a direct influence on the frequency and opportunity of interaction of locals. Nurturing and maintaining public amenities, green spaces, and infrastructure – both visible and invisible – in turn nurtures community as a whole and society at large. Among the sixteen featured projects are a scout hut in Copenhagen, a media library in Tbilisi, a grocery store in Italy, a community centre in Costa Rica, a bamboo sports hall for a school in Thailand, and an educational park in Colombia.
