DOMUS PUBLISHES EIGHTH ISSUE UNDER BJARKE INGELS' GUEST EDITORSHIP

“Plant – Living Materials for Human Habitats”, the September issue of Domus guest edited by Bjarke Ingels, looks to the world of plants and explores how vegetation can re-root urban life in living systems. Julia Watson looks at Indigenous systems where land is cultivated without architects, and Ben Lamm turns to bioengineering to bring back extinct species. Günther Vogt shows us the landscape as an interspecies neighborhood shaped by climate change and glacial retreat, while Piet Oudolf choreographs plantings like seating plans. At Urban Farming Office, Vo Trong Nghia blurs food, façade and foliage, Field Operations tops a highway tunnel with a manmade coastal landscape and Nongzao grows mycelium in everyday plastic moulds. From edges to orbit, Azuma Makoto sends delicate botanical arrangements to the edges of the Earth, and Andrew Zuckerman reveals insect morphology at human scale.
