Domus 2025 appoints Bjarke Ingels as the Guest Editor along with BIG Associate Shane Dalke as Deputy Guest Editor, plus Partner Giulia Frittoli and Filippo Cartapani on the editorial team! BIG will curate 10 issues themed MATERIALISM, taking its readers on a “material odyssey” that will delve into the profound role of materials in shaping architecture and design. Each issue will spotlight a different material, exploring how architects and designers manipulate matter to create objects and environments that sustain life. “By reclaiming the term materialism from the realm of empty consumerism, we aim to bring it back to the practice of formulating our future through form and matter. We want to go on an odyssey through the material world. Starting with solid rock and ending with the flow of electrons: stone, earth, concrete, metal, glass, wood, fabric, plastic, plant, re-source, immaterial.” – Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG Bjarke joins Domus’s guest editor roster of distinguished architects including Michele De Lucchi, Winy Maas, David Chipperfield, Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, Steven Holl + Toshiko Mori, and Norman Foster. The first issue curated by Bjarke will be released in January 2025.
