This issue features three main themes. The first offers an examination of contemporary funerary architecture, from a crematorium in Belgium and the Montpellier Metropolitan Cemetery, to the revitalisation of Bigelow Chapel at Historic Mount Auburn Cemetery and other projects. The second looks at new and innovative architectural solutions for factories and storage facilities, with diverse examples in China, Norway, Belgium, and Portugal. Lastly, Silvio Carta delves into an analysis of light, texture, and volumes in the different contexts of three new houses in Mexico, respectively designed by Ludwig Godefroy Architecture, Escobedo Soliz, and González Muchow Arquitectura.
