Amazon, Apple and Facebook have all unveiled radical office campus designs over the past year. We take a look at the rise of the statement campus and explore the role architecture plays in defining a digital corporation’s brand image.
We also present our favourite designs from eVolo’s 2014 skyscraper competition, find out how Habitat for Humanity’s housing project in the Philippines is tailored to the region devastated by the recent typhoon and explore the largest planned urban regeneration project in Africa which could become a blueprint for the continent.
Moreover, we look back at two decades of PFI-funded building projects to determine whether the controversial financing solution has been a success in the UK and take a look at how stainless steel has become a defining part of London’s Paddington Station redevelopment.
