Domus China 090, September 2014

In a society that is obsessed with media presence and somehow indifferent to dialogue, this precious absence makes emails a medium for a relatively precise and consequently open dialogue.

In the Top-talk of this edition, Yubing, the Chief Editor of Domus China interviewed Stefano Boeri on theTomorrow, “a daily journal about the future of Europe”. theTomorrow comprises two things: a calendar and a public exchange of letters which take the form of emails, trying to imagine a public discussion that reflects the richness and complexity of the polycentric European city. Ancient Chinese lamps are not only the daily necessities abut also the representative of beauty and emotion. In the column of A Century of China’s Industrial Design, the wisdom of ancient China design is presented in the form of lamps, with materials such as bamboo, pottery, porcelain and stone.
