RECORD kicks off 2025 with a special CEU section on prefabrication. Included are dispatches on advances in modular multifamily housing, airport expansion projects that embrace novel construction methods, a Swiss-born concrete flooring solution, and a small mass-timber dwelling aiming to solve a big problem. Also profiled are newly realized projects: a modular public restroom in New York, a Danube River-spanning bridge, and a pop-up luxury retail destination that repurposes freight containers. Also in January, we visit a terra-cotta-clad office tower in Berlin and invite three architects to assess a trio of notable new projects in Houston, Los Angeles, and Cambridge.
