Architectural Record - July 2024

2024 July

Just in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics, RECORD’s sports and recreation–focused July issue surveys new—and revamped—athletic facilities including a community aquatic center in sprawling Western Sydney; an ice rink–anchored Swedish sports hall built from mass timber; a flood-resilient riverside tennis facility in Upper Manhattan; and the revitalized Madrid home of one of Europe’s top soccer clubs. Elsewhere in the issue, we preview Paris’s reuse-heavy approach to Olympic venues; profile notable museum projects in Munich and Taiwan; visit this month’s House of the Month in Miami; and take a deep dive into bio-based materials for the July CEU.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
