Description
Architecture with a social conscience comes in several forms in this issue. Miquel Adrià calls for a “redensification” of social housing. In a section on the ‘Corporate Drive to be in Good Shape’, the Hyundai education and research training facility gives workers breathability between sea and mountain in Gyeongju. An all-timber construction of a Norwegian bank in Stavanger has a positive effect on user experience and well being. In ‘Learning within Location and Place’, the patterns of Sami indigenous people shape a major Swedish school. New projects include a Möbius strip-inspired lakeside cultural complex.
