In this issue, Domus takes a tour of Steven Holl's latest work, a museum of contemporary architecture in Nanjing, stopping over in Lisbon on the way to visit Guta Moura Guedes in her new apartment; photographer Ramak Fazel drops by Boeing's Everett plant, the largest building in the world, while Beatriz Colomina examines how the jetliner has changed the course of architecture history; and a sneak peek at what designers are up to in the countdown to Salone 2011, as well as a rare visit to the interior of Torre Confinanzas, the tallest favela in the world.
