Besides new projects by Miralles Tagliabue EMBT, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and JKMM Architects, this issue includes a special feature on civic architecture in an age of transition, introduced by an article on the legacy of civic space by Gihan Karunaratne.
The feature includes four examples of optimistic 21st-century projects: the Urban Environment House by Lahdelma & Mahlamki Architects, Bod City Hall by Atelier Lorentzen Langkilde, Province of Antwerp Headquarters by Xaveer De Geyter Architects, and Kiruna Town Hall by Henning Larsen. A feature on dwellings presents work by Bak Gordon, Studio Billy Maynard, Ludwig Godefroy, and Barclay & Crousse.
