For its main feature, this edition showcases three European examples of the small church typology. In their diversity, these churches – sited in the Czech Republic, Sicily, and Tenerife – illustrate the breadth of interpretations that contemporary architecture can apply to identical liturgical criteria. In addition, the magazine examines urban context, morphological rhythm, and material imagination through the theme &lContinuity vs. Intermittence&r, with three projects in South Korea: Seoul Theater Creation Center, Photography Seoul Museum of Art, and Elystay Boryeong. The issue also presents new projects by Benedetta Tagliabue and EMBT Architects, Colectivo C733, and more.
