America’s 250th anniversary falls this year – and few regions carry that history more visibly than New England, where the republic was conceived and first built. Our magazine opens with an unlikely birthday tribute: not Federal halls or colonial churches, butthe raw concrete ambition of the postwar decades (from page 4). 

On pages 16–17, our author DeSoto Brown writes about his home city as only a lifetime resident can: historian, Bishop Museum veteran of forty years, and collector of the small, overlooked things that make Honolulu Honolulu.

As a publisher, we have made Ukrainian architecturea sustained editorial focus. On page 24, Pavlo Kravchuk introduces Sobornyi Avenue, an eleven-kilometre spine threading through Zaporizhzhia – along which buildings read likea history of the city, from Mennonite settlement through Stalinist grandeur to the present day.

Also in this issue: our interview with Benjamin Hossbach, one of Europe’s leading experts on architectural competitions.
