This edition of Section D, Monocle 24′s weekly review of design, architecture and craft, dives into Beirut Design Week exploring “what Lebanese designers can show the world.” In this show Josh Fehnert examines why Domus have decided to start an academy in Milan, speaks to Dutch typographer Joep Pohlen about his ultimate type reference guide, and assesses some of the architectural similarities between Istanbul and London. While the likenesses are not immediately obvious, both cities are currently undergoing an unprecedented property boom. Istanbul, a city with no strategic masterplan, is growing fast and there are lessons to be learnt from London’s comparatively porous urban realm.
