February’s special Sustainability in Practice section highlights materials, design approaches, research, and technology that reduce carbon footprints across scales and typologies, from biomass plants to office towers to mass-timber structures with big green ambitions. The issue’s project focus on renovation, restoration, and adaptation complements the sustainable theme: a hockey rink-turned-collegiate art hub in Colorado, a 19th-century Swiss barn transformed into a small art museum, a Manhattan office building melding the new and renewed, and a thoughtfully revived public library in France. Similarly, the House of the Month is a Bay Area residence that has been nipped, tucked, and expanded.
