Modernism is our antiquity: our modernity is technology. The July-August issue of Domus — the last under editor in chief Joseph Grima — delves into the hybridised, chaotic milieu of 21st-century network culture — where nothing exists in a pure state, not even architecture, and everything is a product of cross-contamination — to capture a snapshot of the contemporary world with a wide-angle lens.

 

 

Issue 971 revisits Giorgio Rosa's 1968 Isola delle Rose, which presently rests at the bottom of the Mediterranean, and presents new work by BIG, Pezo von Ellrichshausen  and Kazuyo Sejima. In Texas, Domus pays a visit to Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old law student that has designed the first pistol to be entirely 3D-printed, and in London, Justin McGuirk reflects on the attribution of the Design of the Year Award to the gov.uk website.

 

The July-August issue visits Taksim Square to reflect on collective power that raises visibility and action in urban space, and surveys a series of micro-scale interventions by emerging architecture practices in Portugal, while in the newest Supernormal feature, Dan Hill explores Google Glass and its pursuit of augmented reality vision and living.
