THIRD ISSUE OF DOMUS UNDER BJARKE INGELS' GUEST EDITORSHIP IS OUT

“Concrete – From fluid fantasy to concrete reality,” the third issue of DOMUS guest edited by Bjarke Ingels explores the future of architecture’s most fundamental yet controversial material. In this issue, Leah Ellis from Sublime Systems writes about innovating low-carbon cement through electrochemical processes while Jason Ballard from ICON is automating construction with 3D-printed neighborhoods and first settlements on the Moon. An interview with Ensamble Studio discusses the oxymoronic nature of concrete in their factory, where they rehearse full scale construction. Christian Kerez has turned parking structures into iconic undulating surfaces and Chenchow Little Architects have created an intimate dwelling with monolithic elements. Julien De Smedt and Keisuke Oka are investigating the limitless formal freedoms while Katja Schenker is using concrete to contain found objects like giant blocks of nougat.
