Architectural Record - November, 2023

2023 November

For November, RECORD profiles higher education projects that get high marks for pushing aesthetics, materials, and technology to the limit: a flexible performance venue at Brown University; a mass-timber addition at NTU Singapore; a near net-zero classroom building at University of Valle d'Aosta; a “bespoke” bike repair hub at UC Santa Barbara; a revitalized Brutalist library at the University of Western Ontario; and two major projects—one new and the other reimagined—at ETH Zurich. Also this month, we study up on district-scale geo-exchange systems and venture off campus for visits to the House of the Month in Spain, Brooklyn’s sweet new waterfront landmark, and to Bologna for CERSAIE.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
