Founded by furniture designer and architect, Gio Ponti—with the subtitle ‘Architecture and decor of the modern home in the city and in the country’—Domus is a hefty Italian bible of built and inhabited space. This is the seventh in a series guest edited by renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, part of a ‘materialist odyssey’ investigating the materials that have shaped the built world throughout human history. Turning its attention to 20th century innovation, this issue explores the ‘enfant terrible of architecture’—plastic—as well as fabric, architecture’s complementary companion, through a tour of eight examples from around the world, from Bangkok to Barcelona to Ghent. Also included in this issue: ‘Domus Air’—a guide to aviation, infrastructures and relations. domusweb.it
