Architectural Record

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.
