domus 1928-1999, vol. I-XII
The quintessential works of Modernism
Since its launch in 1928, domus has been hailed as the world’s most influential architecture and design journal. Founded as a "living diary" by the great Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti, domus has consistently highlighted the major themes and stylistic movements in design, from Art Deco, Modernism, Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Postmodernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and documented, domus consistently presents the most exciting design and architecture projects from around the world.
TASCHEN’s twelve-volume reprint features selected highlights from the years 1928 to 1999. Reproducing the pages as they originally appeared, each volume is packed with articles detailing the history of design and architecture, and contains a specially commissioned text on the magazine's history and the major developments during that period, written by one of the magazine’s renowned past editors: Mario Bellini, François Burkhardt, Cesare Maria Casati, Stefano Casciani, Germano Celant, Manolo De Giorgi, Fulvio Irace, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Alessandro Mendini, Lisa Licitra Ponti, Ettore Sottsass Jr., Luigi Spinelli, and Deyan Sudjic. All the volumes are also thoroughly indexed, providing easy access to key articles—many of them translated into English for the first time.
TASCHEN’s domus collection is a major publishing achievement and a must-have item for all design and architecture teaching institutions, practicing architects, designers, collectors, students, and anyone who loves design.
