Also with a focus on Brazil, we bring you a report on the young architecture practices making waves in Brazil today as well as Lina Bo Bardi's chair for Arper, which has finally been put into production 63 years after its design, and a review of the first extensive biography of the Italo-Brazilian architect by Rowan Moore.

We also have Steven Holl's new Reid Building for the Glasgow School of Art, while Pamela Buxton weighs up the options for airport expansion in London. Elsewhere Alice Rawsthorn looks at Richard Hamilton's life and work to coincide with a major retrospective at Tate Modern, and separately we talk to Carmody Groarke about the Windermere Steamboat Museum, take a tour of the Royal Academy's Sensing Spaces exhibition, preview the Milan Salone, and visit Ruin Lust at Tate Britain as well as UVA's mesmerising installation at the Barbican's Curve Gallery.
