When departments within an organisation fail to share information with each other, the popular term is “silo mentality”. Universities also suffer from this phenomenon, with learning and research in one field literally walled off from others. But architecture can create a very different environment: transparent, flexible, interactive. The magazine examines ''UCL East(...)

Summary:
When departments within an organisation fail to share information with each other, the popular term is “silo mentality”. Universities also suffer from this phenomenon, with learning and research in one field literally walled off from others. But architecture can create a very different environment: transparent, flexible, interactive. The magazine examines ''UCL East Marshgate'', designed by Stanton Williams, and the Faculty of Arts at Warwick University by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios as excellent examples. Also in this issue, a special feature on the Chilean practice of Pezo von Ellrichshausen and new work by Snøhetta, Wallmarkers, Peter Pichler Architecture, Atelier FCJZ, and more.

Summary:
The use of mass timber (also called engineered wood) in architecture involves prefabricated modular parts, making construction quicker and cheaper, and applying digital technology to design and fabrication. Both glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) are load-bearing materials that offer buildings not only a positive carbon footprint but also(...)

Summary:
The use of mass timber (also called engineered wood) in architecture involves prefabricated modular parts, making construction quicker and cheaper, and applying digital technology to design and fabrication. Both glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) are load-bearing materials that offer buildings not only a positive carbon footprint but also flame-retardant qualities. A special feature on mass timber includes exemplary projects such as the ''World of Volvo'' by Henning Larsen and the ''Rehmannia Root Crafts Exhibition Hall'' by LUO studio. In addition, the magazine features a special profile on new Basque topography through the eyes of Ele Arkitektura.

Summary:
For architects, designing adaptive reuse projects for buildings originally constructed for religious purposes is a challenging task. Different approaches to transforming historic structures often spark intense debate. The three projects examined in this issue’s special feature on the future of preservation illustrate different interpretations of the principles set forth in the ''Charter of Krakow'' (2000), a document aimed at establishing common ground. In addition, the magazine zooms in on Max Núñez Arquitectos through an interview with the architect and selected projects, including the Hogar Alemán Elderly Care Home and MUSEAT Atacama Regional Museum, both in Chile.

Summary:
Shohei Shigematsu, whose works include projects from educational facilities, art museums, and exhibition designs to high-rise commercial complexes, has been the lead at OMA New York since 2006.

Through a curated selection of images, this issue captures architecture that demonstrates how the rational box and soft form can coexist, as embodied in the contemporary public realm. A selection of 34 projects representing the architecture of both New York and Tokyo is expanded upon with essays by Shigematsu and others, plus two conversations with the architect.

Summary:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.

Summary:
This book chronicles the fourth academic year of the studio led by Kersten Geers at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. It was produced as a counterpart to Experiments in Thickness, a book which focused on the work of Giancarlo de Carlo in Urbino. As a means of grappling with that elephant in the room—the modern project—and its perceived failure of good intentions, all the projects gathered here are an update of sorts. Abstract overarching narratives were updated as premises for projects in Milan, De Carlo’s campus in Urbino was updated to accommodate current student population, and unrealised projects in Milan were revived to create a radically contemporary urbanity. But this was not an exercise in nostalgia and retrieval of the lost cause, as much as seeking an opportunity in a modernist ending.
