Kicking off 2024, RECORD hits the road—and the sky and the seas—for a survey of six innovative transportation buildings, including a greenery-filled airport terminal in India’s third-largest city, a revived port complex on Montreal’s St. Lawrence riverfront, and a mass-transit headhouse that doubles as a new gateway to MIT’s campus. We also spotlight a trio of public space projects that reimagine works of infrastructure, both existing and obsolete. Elsewhere in the January issue, we test ride the world’s first bikeable building in Arkansas and profile a deceptively simple Belgian library, a modest museum on the grounds of an English castle, and a high-altitude Austrian residence.
