Résumé

Multilingual Edition: English, Italian

"domus has a rich history of spotting trends and fashions ...
It elevates icons to classics."
Bene, New York

For eight decades, domus has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. Founded in 1928 by the great Milanese architect Gio Ponti, the magazine's central agenda has always remained that of creating a privileged insight toward identifying the style of a particular age, from Art Deco, Modern Movement, Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Postmodernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and comprehensively documented, page after page domus presents some of the most exciting design and architecture projects from around the world.

Each of the 12 volumes in TASCHEN's domus reprint collection reproduces a selection of the magazine's pages as they originally appeared, and is packed with articles that bring to light the incredible history of modern design and architecture. Available as separate volumes covering the period of 1928-1999, this series is a major publishing achievement and an important must-have for all design and architecture teaching institutions, practicing architects, designers, collectors, students, and anyone who loves design.

1955 - 1959: International affairs

The focus of this volume is the second half of the 1950s, an era of grand visions and increasing internationalization in architecture and design. The often playful and experimental ideas and designs of the first half of the decade became more and more set in a common style, in which the International style forms an alliance with the new organic forms of the postwar period - whereby the only common feature is the high quality of each particular design. The works documented here by architects and designers such as Oscar Niemeyer, Carlos Raúl Villanueva, Vittoriano Viganò, and Angelo Mangiarotti are representative of this development. Also featured are modern office machines by Olivetti, furniture design by Ray and Charles Eames, ceramic and lamp designs by Ettore Sottsass, the Herman Miller Showroom of Alexander Girard in San Francisco, and famous buildings like Le Corbusier's pilgrimage church in Ronchamp or Gio Ponti's Villa Arreaza in Caracas.
