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 ninth in a series guest edited by acclaimed Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, continuing the ‘material odyssey’ through the materials that have conformed our built space. Turning its focus to recycled materials, this issue examines the act of creation through transformation, exploring how the remnants of the past become the resources of the future: ‘If sources are what we extract from nature, re-sources are the materials we mine in the decommissioned structures and products of the man-made environment’. Featuring examples from Barcelona, London and Copenhagen to the ancient Angkor Was in Cambodia, this edition explores how the structures of the past can be reimagined to better serve the present. domusweb.it
