From miart’s new venue to the evolution of its role, and seven key exhibitions across the city: what to see during Milan Art Week 2026, in the words of artistic director Nicola Ricciardi.
On the outskirts of Milan, the storage spaces of the Christian Stein Gallery — home to works by Boetti, Kounellis, Paladino and Pistoletto — open to the public for a limited time, becoming a temporary exhibition space between archive and display.
From the home-studios of Gae Aulenti and Vico Magistretti to the archives linked to Gio Ponti and the Castello Sforzesco, 150 usually little-accessible funds open exceptionally to the public during Design Week 2026.
A magnetic display that brings a screen to the back of your smartphone, letting you use the main camera for selfies: intuitive in theory, more ambiguous in real-world use.
You can share your work through the function by Domus where you can upload your architecture, design, interior, graphics, illustration, photography and art projects.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s largest project is a campus: Florida Southern College. Built over more than twenty years—shaped by organic utopian ideals, construction challenges, and later transformations—it is now documented in the photographs of Roberto Conte.
From Mies van der Rohe’s crystal towers for Berlin to Renzo Piano’s Shard, the glass façade charts a century of architecture poised between technology and symbolism, evolving from a modernist manifesto into the shared language of a globalized world.
For this high-density residential complex, Anonimous + G3 + Jesús Vassallo soften the dark, solemn volumes inspired by Brutalism with a lattice of sun-shading screens drawn from local tradition.
For years, the brand has been building a global network of exhibition spaces that keep photography anchored to physical reality. In doing so, it also defines who, how, and where photography can still exist.
From temporary hospitality to immersive environments and the return of materiality, a guide to Fuorisalone 2026 that tests ways of living rather than simply displaying objects.
From collections to installations, major international studios gather in Milan for the Fuorisalone, transforming the city into a temporary laboratory between architecture and design.
This laboratory-storage facility for biological research, part of the University of Antwerp, breaks away from the typical anonymity of industrial sheds to assert itself as a recognizable architectural object, defined by bold colors and the legacy of the “perfect square.”
From the lost polychromy of Greek sculptures to experiences developed with Snap and playful applications, augmented reality—after years of anticipation—is now transforming the way museums interpret and narrate their collections.
In the April issue editorial, Domus guest editor Ma Yansong reflects on architecture as a living organism, evolving alongside its inhabitants—while exposing cities that are increasingly hostile to everyday life.
In the history of art, the egg is never just a symbol. It is an operational device—one that creates perspective, matter, and vision, from Piero della Francesca to Warhol’s pop seriality.
In Point Roberts, Scott and Scott reinterpret the North American rural house through exposed timber structures and natural materials.
From the theft at Italy’s Fondazione Magnani-Rocca to major heists in Paris, Dresden and Amsterdam, ten cases from the new millennium show why art is never truly safe.
From monumental courtyards to cloisters, from historic swimming pools to university spaces: here are ten installations of Fuorisalone 2026 that promise to transform Milan during the days of Design Week.
The home-studio of Charles and Ray Eames becomes a purchasable modular system. Meanwhile, at the Milan Triennale, two full-scale pavilions tell the story of the project during Design Week.
With Food for Thought, Ikea transforms Spazio Maiocchi into a place where food becomes a project and a collective experience. Between live cooking, temporary market and new products from the Ikea PS collection with lamps designed by Raffaella Mangiarotti.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Milan Design Week isn’t just the installations—it’s Milan’s historic palazzi and grand buildings. Behind closed doors, among hidden courtyards and decorated ceilings, Domus selects the most remarkable ones to visit in 2026.
In Narutaki, in Kyoto, the firm has undertaken a project involving a historic Japanese house. The project blends restoration with new construction, creating a space that bridges the past and the present.

Entering the studio on Via Fondazza in Bologna, Joel Meyerowitz photographs each bottle, vase, and jar used by the painter in his iconic still lifes. The project becomes Morandi’s Objects, a book set for release in 2026.
At the Giardini of the Venice Biennale, the bar is no longer what you remember: with the new Central Pavilion, the café designed by Tobias Rehberger—awarded the Golden Lion in 2009—has disappeared.
The Bahrain Ministry of Culture had commissioned four reinforced concrete car parks in the historic centre of Muharraq from the Swiss architect. Two were demolished in recent weeks, without any official explanation. We interviewed the architect to reconstruct the story.
While most construction continues across the United Arab Emirates, architects and designers are finding new ways to work amid instability—between resilience, caution, and adaptation.
For decades photographic technology struggled to render darker skin tones accurately. TECNO turned that bias into a design problem — and a technological advantage that helped the company expand across Africa and other emerging markets.

Called the “Sementeira Ambulante”, it toured the streets of Braga during the Forma da Vizinhança Festival, raising public awareness of environmental issues with its bright yellow colour.
