domus Vol. 1
domus - The quintessential works of Modernism
Volume I — 1928 – 1939
"domus has a rich history of spotting trends and fashions ... It elevates icons to classics." Bene, New York
For more than 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, Modernism, Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Postmodernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and comprehensively documented, page after page domus presents 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.
1928 – 1939: The birth of the International style
The International Style of the late 1920s and 1930s is the focal point of this volume. Along with groundbreaking buildings, interior decoration, and furniture by international architects and designers such as Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Robert Mallett-Stevens, Alvar Aalto, and Richard Neutra, it is above all the work of the Italian avant-garde, including names like Giuseppe Terragni, Carlo Mollino, Gio Ponti, Melchiorre Bega, Franco Albini or Studio BBPR, that provides precise insight into the formative decade of Modernism. Tubular furniture, glass works by the firms Venini and Fontana Arte, as well as the most modern of industrial design are featured alongside American skyscrapers and functional office interiors.
