Summary:
University architecture has been significantly changing in recent decades. Globally, institutions of higher learning are gradually adapting their traditional buildings to meet a growing societal demand for a more democratic, equal, and diverse education system. The increasing mobility of students, their expectations for flexibility, and the perception of learning spaces all play a role. These shifts are highlighted in eleven projects, among them the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tenerife by gpy arquitectos, Technical Faculty SDU by C.F. Møller, National Taiwan University by Toyo Ito & Associates, and Utrecht University’s New Education Centre by Ector Hoogstad Architecten.

Summary:
This issue focuses on three subjects: Urban University, Library Today, and Mexican Concrete. The first examines how new needs and material structures combine to offer opportunities for designers to experiment with innovative layouts and a new formal repertoire that can affect urban dynamics. Examples include Cornell Tech, Central European University, and the Southern Utah Museum of Art. Recent developments in the design of media libraries as an evolution of traditional ones feature in Library Today, with projects by OMA + Barcode Architects, Jean-Pierre Lott, and MVRDV. Lastly, the issue takes stock of concrete’s revision and continuation in today’s Mexican architecture.

Summary:
The taste for industrial aesthetics, just one of many reasons for the popularity of industrial conversions today, saw its beginnings during the age of post-war modernism, popularised by architects such as Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. Yet the trend to rethink industrial structures also signals the imbalance of production and consumption that has arisen since the 1970s. Currently, however, rehabilitation initiatives are bringing production back to the city through projects like the thirteen examples in this special issue. Included are the Baltic Station Market by KOKO architects, Zeitz MOCAA by Heatherwick Studio, Malmö Market Hall by Wingårdh, and The Silo by COBE.

Architecture by its nature is destined to take physical advantage over space, meaning its objects remain. Temporal stratifications admit the memory of the past as a starting point for developing this space. It is a matter of defining the relationship between new and old through an operation of addition and historical stratification. By way of minimal and focused(...)

Summary:
Architecture by its nature is destined to take physical advantage over space, meaning its objects remain. Temporal stratifications admit the memory of the past as a starting point for developing this space. It is a matter of defining the relationship between new and old through an operation of addition and historical stratification. By way of minimal and focused interventions, subtle additions and modifications, the featured projects – such as Aalto University Main Building by ALA Architects, Studio Libeskind’s National Holocaust Monument Ottawa, Len Lye Centre by Pattersons, and more – demonstrate the care and mindfulness with which architects approach memory and history.

Inherent in the brief for a place of worship is the requirement to create a powerful, transcendental experience for the user, a place of refuge and peace. This ephemeral demand in turn requires unusual sensibility and creative genius of the architect, yet also makes the architect’s task particularly intriguing.

Summary:
Inherent in the brief for a place of worship is the requirement to create a powerful, transcendental experience for the user, a place of refuge and peace. This ephemeral demand in turn requires unusual sensibility and creative genius of the architect, yet also makes the architect’s task particularly intriguing. This special issue analyses the elements architects have at their disposal to conceive transcendental places and sanctuaries conducive to contemplation and prayer, illustrated in seventeen recent projects from around the world, from Archstudio’s Waterside Buddhist Shrine and John McAslan’s Msheireb Mosque, to Wirmboden Alpine Chapel and Skorba Village Centre.

This issue explores two themes, each through five recent projects. The terms culture and city both contain an element of opposition against two words that are often mistaken as their synonyms: civilisation and urbanisation. In this sense, culture can be considered a strategy of resistance. Recent examples that reflect this trend are SANAA’s Tsuruoka Cultural Hall, Caixa(...)

Summary:
This issue explores two themes, each through five recent projects. The terms culture and city both contain an element of opposition against two words that are often mistaken as their synonyms: civilisation and urbanisation. In this sense, culture can be considered a strategy of resistance. Recent examples that reflect this trend are SANAA’s Tsuruoka Cultural Hall, Caixa Forum Sevilla by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, and La Seine Music Hall by Shigeru Ban. Secondly, the school as social playground is examined in the Skovbakke School by CEBRA, German School Madrid by Grüntuch Ernst Architects, and the Copenhagen International School Nordhavn by C.F. Møller Architects.
