This double-feature issue comprises two distinct themes: local engagement and British architects. The former explores nine globally distributed projects wherein architects seek social change at a local level by engaging the population and skills of local craftsmen. From a community centre in Thailand and educational facilities in Rwanda and Sumatra, to rural residences in Spain and Japan and a church in Poland, the projects entail diverse yet simple, sustainable solutions. The second feature on British architects highlights a variety of projects by five of today’s notable practices: Tony Fretton Architects, dRMM, Carmody Groarke, NORD Architecture and 6a architects.
