Aldo Rossi: From scale to scale
Domus presented the Teatro del Mondo or Venetian Theatre – a floating structure designed by Aldo Rossi in 1979 for the 1980 Venice Biennale – in issue 602 (January 1980).
Suspending the city. Silencing the stranger
One of the biggest calamities of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the city – the right to the city, the right to livelihood, the right to move, the right to being public. The city, historically, has not only emerged as the key location for the exchange of ideas and technologies in a globalizing world, but also the site to possibly earn a livelihood with some semblance of dignity, if not more.
Our horizontal Babel
Already more than half of humanity lives in cities, and the urbanisation process advances at so vertiginous a rate that we will soon be able to describe the planet as a built globe, with its population agglomerated in metropolises and the surrounding environment transformed into an artificial landscape. From the city’s mesh of relationships comes its potential and lure, manifested in the territory like a magnetic field that is irresistible to rural populations, a multitude of iron filings dragged beyond remedy towards the metropolitan magnet.
Life in the Anthropocene
SARS-CoV-2 has penetrated our world. Here in Central Europe, it has drastically changed our everyday lives and society. We have never experienced such a situation before and we have yet to develop a language to discuss it. People are even talking about a war against the virus. But against which enemy is this war actually being waged?
Cities are not landscapes
The destruction of the landscape by the ferocious invasion of cities, settlements and infrastructures mostly designed for traffic, but also by the excessive proliferation of stand-alone buildings, has assumed devastating proportions in recent decades. Italy is currently consuming roughly ten square metres of land per second for construction purposes. The natural landscape we love, value and need for our nourishment and recreation is at risk of being annihilated.
Radical participation and collaborative design
The expert is being questioned across society. In Zurich, planners are addressing this with argumentative design
Urban Form and Smart Urbanism
A recently released book is an academic reflection on questions surrounding new planning initiatives and the role of urban design in creating spatial and cultural transformations in second-tier cities.
Notes on design - Enzo Mari by Jasper Morrison
In advance of an Enzo Mari exhibition at the Triennale Milano, we present a selection of archival drawings and sketches investigates the process of his search for true form and a vintage photographic summary of his key works.
Welcome David Chipperfield
With the arrival of the acclaimed British architect as guest editor for 2020, Domus shows it is at the centre of the global debate around architecture and reaffirms the key role of the designer in our time
Masters of the universe
The creation of a new capital should express the aspiration of a new nation, and yet increasingly we are seeing a phoney history dictate their design.
