Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
In the main feature, five projects are examined that deal with the theme of modern vernacular, addressing the question of how architects today can reconcile the two seemingly disparate approaches of contemporary gestures and historic traditions into a single, cohesive design. This reinterpretation by architects of regional building practices and vernacular style in a modern context comes to the fore in Tadao Ando’s Bosco Studio & House, the Fan Zeng Art Gallery by Original Design Studio, and Chinmaya Mission Austin by Miro Rivera Architects, for example. Also featured, the output of new offices in India like Architecture Brio, Sameep Padora, S+PS Architects, and more.

Résumé:
In this month’s issue of C3 the editors try to answer the philosophical question of when do spaces become places? When does an open designed space by an architect become part of a community where people meet and greet? What is needed to make it a hot spot for residences and others? Projects such as the New Port station by Grimshaw Architects, the Stockholm waterfront by White Arkitektur and the footbridge of Postiguet by BG Studio are fully photographed and discussed.

Résumé:
C3 442 presents nine projects from Korea and abroad that reveal how architecture engages landscape, memory, materiality, and urban transformation. The issue explores architecture’s capacity to respond to natural systems, preserve cultural narratives, and generate meaningful spatial experiences. Among other projects, the Brumadinho Memorial examine vernacular craft, material expression, and collective remembrance. In K-Projects, REST by Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Cultural Center Hodu, and Intaglio investigate architecture’s relationship with topography through restraint, preservation, and spatial depth. The Urban Gaps, Small Buildings section highlights three compact interventions that transform challenging sites into distinctive urban experiences, demonstrating the enduring potential of small-scale architecture.

Résumé:
This issue explores two interrelated trajectories in contemporary architecture: the renewed relevance of timber, and the transformation of obsolete industrial structures into new cultural territories. Through material innovation and the "overwriting" of time, it examines how architecture bridges the memory of place with future-facing value. It presents three projects that demonstrate the expanded potential of timber architecture today: the Ajung Lake Public Library in Jeonju, which translates the lakeside landscape into a rhythmic timber structure; the Historical Oberamteistrasse Museum in Germany, where the memory of a medieval city is refracted through a translucent glass envelope; and Limberlost Place in Toronto, which pushes the technical boundaries of tall timber construction. Further, three Korean responses to the "existing" (pre-existence) within industrial sites. From 111CM in Suwon, which overlays a modern timber structure onto an old factory frame, and Be-Fore, which leaves a wastewater facility’s raw scars intact, to the Donghae Quarry Remodeling, which reconfigures massive materiality into new spatial tension—these projects explore the poetics of the palimpsest, where the present is delicately written over the traces of the past. The issue also features the Office Building Arquipeo in São Paulo, and the Charleroi Exhibition Center in Belgium, redefined through a strategy of subtraction and void.
