Founded in 1928 as a "living diary" by the great Milanese architect
and designer Gio Ponti, domus has been hailed as the world's most
influential architecture and design journal. With style and rigor,
it has reported on the major themes and stylistic movements in
industrial, interior, product, and structural design. This fresh
reprint of domus' 1950s coverage brings together the most important
features from an era of post-war optimism. As memories of conflict
receded, architecture and design sought new forms, materials, and
applications, as well as increasing international dialogue.
Highlights include Le Corbusier's design of the United Nations
Building in New York; the Case Study Houses of Charles and Ray
Eames; Richard Neutra in California and Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil,
office machines by Olivetti, furniture by Ray and Charles Eames,
ceramics and lights by Ettore Sottsass, and the Herman Miller
Showroom by Alexander Girard in San Francisco. domus distilled
