Domus China, January–February 2017
The January-February issue of Domus China is a starting point of the “Creative talents 100+” programme and also a prologue of “A Salute to Design”.

Since August 2015, Domus China has spent more than a year meeting and investigating designers and architects who are active in China’s design industry, in order to fully understand the personal style and way of work of each candidate, which is exactly what we expect to present for our readers. As the first release, this issue covers 14 individuals and groups of the 100 talents who differ in background and philosophy yet have the same enthusiasm for design.

In parallel, with its “huge” and “native” culture, a village reflects the most essential aspect of a region, which is not only a wealth, but also a challenge of the construction and development of rural China. Architects are now at the forefront of rural construction and the renovation of B&B projects. In the Confetti section, Domus China invites 6 practitioners from architects, designers and entrepreneurs to share about their experiences in rural construction, trying to find the answer to a same question: what is the most effective way to upgrade the construction method of rural area in current time? In the meantime, we collate a database of standard B&B platforms, organizations and activities in rural China for readers to be aware of this social phenomenon and hope to boost the development of the whole industry.

Design can serve the society, and also create commercial value. Design plays an increasingly important role in our daily life, whilst the government agencies are increasingly concerned about the design industry and therefore giving their support. Three design awards in China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been announced at the end of 2016, bringing together the most remarkable works by Chinese designers from home and abroad. This issue of Domus China also summarizes the best-known national design awards and gives a comprehensive overview on Design for Asia Awards, Red Star Design Award and Golden Pin Design Award.
