Summary:
The facade is a building’s most outward-facing element. The interplay of materials, textures, colours, and transparent or opaque surfaces defines not only its external character but also its contribution to the urban fabric. While facades in past centuries evolved from traditional construction methods and locally sourced materials, today’s design possibilities are far(...)

Summary:
The facade is a building’s most outward-facing element. The interplay of materials, textures, colours, and transparent or opaque surfaces defines not only its external character but also its contribution to the urban fabric. While facades in past centuries evolved from traditional construction methods and locally sourced materials, today’s design possibilities are far more varied. Technical advances have extended the range of materials we can use and combine across various construction systems. Windows can be any size – from fully enclosed to fully transparent, virtually anything is possible. However, stricter regulations on thermal insulation and airtightness have introduced new constraints. Single-skin facade systems are now the exception; in most cases, a double- skin wall structure with a protective outer layer – the cladding – has become the standard. The projects featured in this issue reveal the diverse ways architecture firms approach the art of cladding – from used roadside safety barriers repurposed for a Swiss maintenance depot to a rich mix of textures shaping an art complex in New York.

Summary:
As the first independent environments children encounter beyond the home, nurseries, daycare centres, and kindergartens should not appear merely as colourful fantasy worlds. Well-conceived early-learning centres and schools create a microcosm modelled on everyday life – child-friendly yes, but by no means childish. Such places offer security while inviting discovery, appropriation, and adaptation. In this issue we profile child-focused environments realised both as new builds and through adaptive reuse. A kindergarten on a disused industrial site near Copenhagen follows circular construction principles, using mostly materials salvaged from the dilapidated primary school that once stood there. Newly built daycare centres in the German state of Hessen and in Slovenia draw on local building traditions and the surrounding natural landscape. Meanwhile, a former East German telephone exchange was transformed into a playscape that anchors a childcare facility on a university campus in Merseburg.

Summary:
Traditional building forms have undergone repeated revivals and rejections throughout architectural history - from the medievalist nostalgia of the ''Arts and Crafts'' movement to early modernism’s deliberate break with the past, from the fraught alliance of traditionalist styles like Heimatstil with 1930s fascism to the regionalist tendencies of the 1970s. While those earlier movements often focused on formal opposition to the perceived failures of modernism, today’s discourse goes further: there is growing recognition that building regionally also means building in a climate-conscious way, using locally available materials and resources. The projects presented - mainly in rural Austria, Switzerland, France, and the UK - show how this can be done in practice. The motivations behind a return to traditional forms vary: in some cases, building codes or a protected historic setting played a decisive role; in others, the regional architectural language aligned with the values of the architect or client.
