‘19. Our planet is subject to dramatic
climate change, which requires all of us to
speed up action in order to save it.
But we are so slow. The depletion of natural
resources is accelerating tremendously.
Huge income disparities are creating enormous
social tensions. Moving populations demand
action. Rampant desertification demands
forests. Exponential population growth requires
more products, more food, more oxygen, more
energy, more water, better waste treatment.
We need an agenda for change to be implemented.
Now! This will form the future city.
Domus ‘19 will be dedicated to the future city.

the unknown and the way it is unfolding.
How can we accommodate the future?
How to facilitate the unexpected?
All ten issues will make up a volume of over
1000 pages with different rhythms, ending with
calculations, evaluations and research sources,
and forming a sequence from page 0 to +1000
in 10 months. These issues will encompass
and celebrate time, illustrate events,
evolve and evaluate.
They will represent the evolutionary city of 2019.
