In the April issue, Architectural Record editors feature our annual Record Houses, spanning from Greece to Mexico to the U.K. This month’s news covers Francis Kéré’s 2022 Pritzker Prize selection, the end of Sidewalk Labs, and a tribute to Gyo Obata; exhibition reviews critique MoMA’s “Project of Independence” on South Asian modernism and Neri Oxman’s nature-inspired show at SFMOMA. RECORD’s project story features Selldorf Architects’ Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, while landscape looks back at a 1964 RECORD House in Minneapolis whose gardens have been renovated. This month’s issue also features Sagrada Familia’s crowning luminous star, two book reviews, as well as surface and hardware products.
