To be in Venice for this year’s Architectural Biennale is to face an inevitable irony.

The architects of a number of striking projects featured in this month’s record have radically reimagined new spaces within existing structures.

We at RECORD were deep into preparing this month’s issue when the startling, sad news broke of Zaha Hadid’s death at age 65.

While celebrating design excellence in houses, we can't forget that millions of the poorest Americans live far beyond the reach of architecture.

Quotidian buildings for industry and infrastructure can turn out to be great architecture.

The announcement of the 2016 Pritzker Prize winner last month came as something of a shock. Rather than select a precertified star, the jury picked Alejandro Aravena, best known for building smart, extremely low-cost social housing in his native Chile.

It’s a new year, a time for a fresh start. And while we at RECORD like to bring you the newest architectural projects and the latest in design ideas and technology, 2016 is a year in which we’re looking back as well, reflecting on our rich legacy. That’s because Architectural Record turns 125 this year, a longer run than almost any other brand in American publishing. Look for special features in print and online over the coming year.

“Iconic” may be the most overused word in architectural writing. Eye-popping new buildings are declared icons when the concrete has barely cured.

Last month, architectural record held its second annual Women in Architecture Forum and Awards in New York, with a packed crowd of architects (mostly women but some enthusiastic men) joining in the celebration.
