An Archive of Future
An Archive of Futures
Publishing workshop – content research
and tutoring
A two-day publishing workshop to re-read, discuss, and re-elaborate the contents of the historical archive of Domus magazine, starting from a selection of articles made by architects, designers, curators, critics, and artists.
"Building the Mediterranean: Colonies, Rationalism and Utopias" is the title of the collection of some emblematic issues from the historical archive of Domus magazine selected by Marginal Studio during the publishing workshop "An archive of futures".
South, Mezzogiorno, Mediterranean, Sicily, Africa, migrants, colony. Starting from these keywords, is it possible to ideally trace the geographical limits of design and architecture? The suggested reflection develops from an analysis of editorial choices and narrative methodologies of the same topics developed from the perspective of a magazine based in Milan and therefore subject to specific political pressures and influenced by Western models.
The chosen contents were then re-elaborated by a group of students at the Triennale di Milano during a workshop, part of the Milano Arch Week 2017.
