Haus P, Weyell Zipse, self-published
Booklet Launch with Weyell Zipse (Ed.) in conversation with Max Creasy, Norman Palm and Martin Hossbach from Berlin.In this booklet, Weyell Zipse reflect on their first building commission through the photography of Max Creasy, who documents the everyday life and adds a tangible, lived moment of inhabitation. Designer Norman Palm from fertig design translates the photographic series into a booklet that becomes a record sleeve. In the accompanying text, music supervisor Martin Hossbach narrates the house as a journey to Stralsund – expanded and made experiential through a specially curated playlist.
Like a good song, the booklet will be freely distributed to all guests attending the evening.

Ephemeral Agents: Concéntrico x Distigmo – Summer School
Concéntrico with Javier Peña returns following the December book launch to present the 2026 programme and introduce the new Summer School format in Logroño. Developed in collaboration with Distigmo, the Summer School expands the pedagogical and international scope of Ephemeral Agents, exploring the relationship between architectural practice, research, and urban action.
The programme will include three interventions by Swiss teams, fostering exchange between different contexts and strengthening the international dimension of the initiative with the support of Pro Helvetia. Presented at DomusHaus in Switzerland, the Summer School extends the current open call beyond the festival’s exhibition format and builds on the discussions initiated at the Zurich symposium in December. Ephemeral Agents thus evolves into an ongoing platform connecting open calls, built interventions, and shared spaces for reflection on ephemeral architecture, agency, and cultural transformation.

The New Design Museum – Co-creating the Present, Prototyping the Future
Beatrice Leanza (Ed.), Park Books, 2025Cultural Strategist and critic Beatrice Leanza will be joined by Vera Sacchetti, Matylda Krzykowski, Filipa Ramos and Chrissie Muhr to discuss her comprehensive investigation into the role of cultural institutions as engines of knowledge production – spaces in which a democratic politics of mutual care and shared responsibility can be explored and enacted.
The New Design Museum brings together theories and voices from leading international institutions and independent initiatives addressing the transformed––and continually transforming––nature of design in the 21st century and its planetary scope in both practical and discursive dimensions. By mapping a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations, this volume reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design need transformation—of their missions, programs, and outreach platforms—to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice.
DOMUSHAUS EG is a shared space.
This iconic corner in the heart of the city is the natural (and historical) place where diverse experiences and perspectives on architecture can intersect informally. It goes beyond the conventional confines of the office, the bookshop, a reading room or an individual’s bookshelf.
DOMUSHAUS EG is a storefront, a bookshelf and a table.
Books, serving as both inspiration and catalyst, stand at the forefront of the membership’s activities. From an informal architecture library for Basel, to a series of talks, curated book lists, book launches, monthly members gatherings, and the most diverse spontaneous events.
DOMUSHAUS EG is a community.
Rooted in participation and inclusivity, the organization of DOMUSHAUS EG will allow for continuous dialogue and adaptation in response to the diverse needs and voices of its members.
