Architectural Record is an excellent place to find articles on the industry's most current and high-profile projects. To access the magazine from home or from campus, first sign into the NYSID Portal, then click "Student" on the top bar and "Library Resources" on the side of your screen. Under "Electronic Journals" you will see a link to Architectural Record and the library username and password. The screenshot below highlights the relevant sections of the student portal.
Once you have signed into Architectural Record, one way to look for articles is to go to the Toolbar at the top of the page, select Projects and then Building Type Studies. They have organized the articles by category, and you can browse by Restaurants, Healthcare, Retail, Libraries, etc. Here you will find articles with detailed project descriptions, images, and floor plans.
