Winy Maas asks school children to imagine the future of Milan with Lego

Lego towers modeled on the Trojan horse and human DNA were among the proposals of school children asked to predict the future of their city.

In his first role as Domus guest editor for 2019, Dutch architect Winy Maas hosted a workshop with students at the Manara Middle School, asking them to build a Lego city with no bounds.

Their diverse ideas – which saw Duomo dressed in a blanket of greenery and refugees brought into the heart of the city in a Trojan Horse-shaped building – were presented to the public during his first event as editor last night.  

Maas will officially take up his editorship of the magazine in January 2019, continuing the 10x10x10 series that sees 10 architects each edit 10 issues of the magazine in the decade approaching Domus' 100th anniversary.

The MVRDV founder will dedicate his 10 editions of the magazine to the theme of the future city.
