Architectural Record - February, 2023

2023 February

In February, RECORD explores renovation, restoration, and adaptive reuse projects in Antwerp, San Francisco, New York, and Sydney. In Jamaica, Queens a former tuberculosis hospital is reborn as affordable housing; a Canadian hotel gets the royal treatment; and a pair of U.K. artists’ homes are memorialized as museums. Lighting showcases illuminating schemes for a national library in Paris and a Manhattan office. Landscape reveals a reimagined botanic garden in Portland, Oregon, while House of the Month in Vermont echoes historic ski-lodge vernacular. In news: an Anabelle Selldorf Q&A, a Reinier de Graaf book review, and tributes to Cervin Robinson, Arata Isozaki, and Renée Gailhoustet.
