From the Publisher: The April 2016 issue of a+u introduces 18 works by 12 architects from around the world. The issue begins with one of the masterpieces of modern residential architecture, the Kappe Residence, from Los Angeles in the 1960s. The other works, including houses, pavilions, and a church, differ in scale and program, but they share a common attitude which could be called a commitment to space that is a pure ad of remarkable beauty.
