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.
