Glocal Design Magazine's 89th Issue Spotlights Women in Architecture and Film Set Design

The 89th edition of Glocal Design Magazine, titled 'Visionarias del espacio,' features 15 female architects and interior designers who are expanding the conversation about architecture, design, and interiorism in Mexico. The issue includes two collector's covers created by Prince Láuder and Jimena Estíbaliz, celebrating diverse perspectives and transformative approaches to space. Concurrently, the magazine explores the role of production design in contemporary cinema, highlighting how architecture, set design, and interiorism construct visual identities in films and streaming productions. The article discusses specific films: in 'Dune,' monumental minimalist spaces convey power and isolation; 'The Batman' features a Gothic and industrial Gotham City; 'The Brutalist' uses brutalism to reflect the protagonist's aspirations and conflicts; 'Conclave' employs monumental religious spaces to express tradition and hierarchy. 'Barbie' is noted for its chromatic universe inspired by dollhouses and Californian modernism, which influenced interior design, furniture, fashion, and color trends. The piece argues that production design generates identity, emotion, and conversation, with each set functioning as a design project where space, light, and material dialogue with the narrative. The magazine is published biweekly, offering curated content on architecture, design, and interiorism with a local and global perspective.
