Special issue in collaboration with ZorgSaamWonen and guest editor-in-chief Yvonne Witter. Not only about the major societal challenges in the fields of housing, care and wellbeing, but also about the design of neighbourhoods, villages and towns in relation to health, exercise and wellbeing, and about creating homes and buildings that promote the health of residents and users.

Special issue on the reuse of existing property (following renovation or restructuring) and the redesign of (public) spaces, with a particular focus on societal transitions in the fields of energy, climate adaptation, digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

The climate ambassadors of the future are being trained right now. But what will those buildings and playgrounds look like? There are still numerous obstacles standing in the way of a healthy learning environment. Think of heat stress and cooling, ventilation and health, grey deserts, or climate-adaptive school playgrounds that simultaneously serve the neighbourhood, limit flooding and enhance biodiversity.

A special issue exploring a construction method that primarily aims to reduce CO2 emissions. And which, as a result, radically changes the way homes and buildings are constructed: more holistically, driven by ecology and with greater attention to social aspects such as liveability, affordability, health and inclusivity. In addition to, of course, circular, bio-based and nature-inclusive choices (in construction and materials).

Our classic and popular end-of-year edition featuring the latest trends and innovations in architecture, construction, sustainability, circularity, materials, technology and digitalisation. With surprising and inspiring selections and themes that provide an excellent start to the new year. A gem on the coffee table or conference table in any building.
