domusforum 2021 - seven questions to explore possible futures
Considering the changes generated by the pandemic, how we will live and how the places we inhabit will be like?
In particular, periods of lockdown have paralysed the interconnected lifestyle that over the last century had developed into the notion of the global city. A model that balances the practical requirements of material and intellectual production with the conceptual need to formulate inclusive, sustainable, and open paradigms.

Domusforum 2021 will explore these matters, by once again bringing together cross-sector and supranational knowledge.
