nomad is a magazine for design and society. For nomad, design is a process of shaping the future, and a catalyst for social developments and individual lifestyles.

nomad seeks to change the perspective of design – from its status as an extraordinary phenomenon to a concept more rooted in the everyday: a progression that engenders natural appreciation. Alongside a focus on the end-result of the design process and the designers themselves, other aspects are explored and the effects and future potential of design culture, in terms of individuals and society as a whole, are investigated within the framework of a broader understanding of design.

In this way, nomad aims to adopt new stances. The magazine offers views on a wide range of standpoints: personal and economic, cultural and global. By doing so, nomad covers a wide range of topics juxtaposing design, social and lifestyle issues with aspects of shaping the future, providing revelations and inspiration in the process.

In this issue:

This issue of nomad delves into the profound impact of travel, exploring personal choices and inspirations. With two striking covers by Lord Norman Foster and RELVĀOKELLERMANN, the edition illuminates how travel shapes our worldview.

Inside, readers will find insights from Lord Norman Foster, whose pioneering work at the Norman Foster Institute on Sustainable Cities continues to redefine urban living spaces. Provocative perspectives from Matteo Thun on the future of design and Liam Young’s futuristic expeditions with the Unknown Fields studio offer thought-provoking insights. Claus Sendlinger discusses the importance of slow travel and sustainable tourism, while the Vianello family shares their eco-friendly camping ethos on the Adriatic.

Educational journeys with Chris Taylor’s Land Arts of the American West and Kalyani Tupkary’s alternative conceptions of time provide further depth. Swedish architect Helena Glantz explores the enduring appeal of brick, emphasizing its sustainability and the human connection to this timeless material. Camilla D. Fischbacher candidly shares the trials and triumphs of transforming a traditional family-run textile business, and Rolf Benz celebrates a 60-year legacy.

Ana Relvão and Gerhardt Kellermann advocate for an outsider’s approach to design, prioritising user needs and problem-solving over personal taste, and embracing the dynamic nature of the design field.

Through these compelling narratives nomad showcases how travel fosters deeper connections between people, nature and culture.
