Domus 975 dicembre 2013
Issue 975 includes six projects that tackle various building types: two buildings for public use – a museum, Renzo Piano’s pavilion for the Kimbell in Forth Worth and a university building, Wiel Arets’ AvB Tower in The Hague; two residential projects – a villa on a lake by Miller & Maranta and interiors by Umberto Riva in Milan; and finally small infrastructure projects – seven bridges by Conzett Bronzini Gartman for the improvement of a hiking trail along the Flem brook in Switzerland.

Domus makes a behind-the-scenes visit to The Raft by Bill Viola, while Italo Lupi talks about himself through his Autobiografia grafica (graphic autobiography). Kostantin Grcic dismantles his OK lamp to reveal the process of its conception and realization. The destiny of the cinema as a building type – but also as the seventh art - is explored in a text by Dario Fo. This month, Feedback is in Madrid: Alberto Campo Baeza tells us about the city, certain that visitors will return, perhaps to stay forever.

From Tokyo, Kenya Hara describes how he teaches design and we have a look at the program of a new design school in London, The Cass, Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design, born from the merger of two historic institutions. Speaking of schools, this month Domus offers readers the new edition of the guide to Europe’s Top 100 Schools of Architecture and Design with its targeted selection of Architecture, Product Design, Graphic, and Interaction Design programs at the best European schools.
