y" 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, office machines by
Olivetti, furniture by
Ray and Charles Eames, ceramics and tables by
Ettore Sottsass, and the
Herman Miller Showroom by Alexander Girard in San Francisco.
