February’s editorial defines the first of the four stages into wich – according to Nicola Di Battista – the architecural design process is divided: awareness.

For the 300th anniversary of Johann Joachim Winckelmann’s birth, the m.a.x. museo of Chiasso dedicates to this German master of classical culture an important exhibition. Ricky Burdett reads the London Design Museum with the interiors redefined by John Pawson. Two exhibitions in Rome are the occasion for the Turin artist Giuseppe Penone to describe his work method.
