The issue visits factories for tequila and for insect protein, buildings the editors argue hold possibilities a generic rented warehouse never could. In Brussels, the city abattoir is being reimagined around a new building by Baukunst. In north Wales, the rail engineering works that once carried the slate trade have been rehabilitated by Thread and opened to visitors. Running underneath is a harder argument about where industry is heading: the building industry reckoning with its carbon cost, cities still working through post-industrial legacies, and landscapes now negotiating the architecture of artificial intelligence. Hans Larsson writes of an AI urbanism measured not in hectares but gigawatts, where architects watch new industrial outposts take shape under forces well beyond their control. Steve Webb looks a century ahead to localised factories and materials treated as precious. And at 94, Dieter Rams is unmoved—we should engage ourselves with less, he insists, but with things more useful, more environmentally friendly, more universal and more fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Industry issue of the AR, edited by Manon Mollard with Eleanor Beaumont and Patricia Roig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding studies from Baukunst, Thread, Estudio Macías Peredo, Atelier ARS and Gru.a Arquitetos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributions from Material Cultures, Resolve Collective and Yes Make\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Reputations profile of Dieter Rams at 94\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHans Larsson on the industrial landscapes of the AI boom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteve Webb on a hundred-year horizon for construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow production buildings—tequila distilleries, insect-protein plants—reward architectural attention that rented warehouses never invite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat happens when a working abattoir becomes an object of urban design rather than something to be zoned away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe terms on which industrial heritage can be reopened to the public, through Thread's work on the north Wales slate railway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the spatial footprint of artificial intelligence is better measured in energy than in area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Rams's principles for good design scale from appliances to buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the publication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1896 and published in London ever since, The Architectural Review is among the longest-running architecture magazines in the world.
