For the October issue, Domus flew over the hill in Bourlemont to look more closely at the recent project by Renzo Piano at the foot of the Ronchamp chapel. From there, we returned to Bolzano in Italy to visit the new Salewa headquarters, designed by Cino Zucchi and Park Associates, which hosts the largest climbing gym in Italy. And then to New York where Paola Antonelli updates her monthly column on the state of design by developing the theme of typography design, while Jonathan Olivares thinks about current systems for the organization of memory through the analysis of the sizes of digital storage disks. Again from Italy, Manuel Orazi reviews Project Japan, the catalogue produced by Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist and a team of collaborators which traces the trajectory of the Metabolist movement with unprecedented depth.

On 13 September 2011, Iwan Baan flew over Ronchamp and—exclusively for Domus—photographed Le Corbusier's famous Chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut, where built into the side of Bourlémont Hill are new structures by Renzo Piano.
