Review
?Domus 1928-1999 is a 12?volume, $600 walk through the international design mag's history. Highlights from 71 years are ripped from past issues and lusciously presented. Explore each style era?from art deco to functionalism, to postwar to late modern?through of-the-moment accounts as they originally appeared, rather than just through the rear view. But context is part of the package, with introductions to each section that address the significance of the period. Whether domus is a new addiction or one you?ve been feeding for some time, if you worship at the altar of aesthetics, the groundbreaking (and backbreaking) set is required reading.? CS Magazine, Chicago

Product Description
For over seventy-five years, "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 into identifying the style of a particular age, from Art Deco, Modern Movement Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Post-Modernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and comprehensively documented, "Domus" presents page after page some of 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 that bring to light the incredible history of modern design and architecture. A truly comprehensive lexicon of styles and movements, the volumes are accompanied by specially commissioned introductory texts that not only outline the history of the magazine but also describe what was happening in design and architecture during each era covered. These texts have been written by many of the magazine's renowned past editors: Mario Bellini, Francois Burkhardt, Cesare Maria Casati, Stefano Casciani, Germano Celant, Manolo De Giorgi, Fulvio Irace, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Alessandro Mendini, Lisa Licitra Ponti, Ettore Sottsass, Luigi Spinelli, and Deyan Sudjic. The volumes have also been throughly indexed, allowing the reader easy access to key articles - many of which have been translated into English for the first time. Taschen's "Domus" collection is a major publishing achievement and an important must-have for all design and architecture teaching institutions, practicing architects, designers, students, and collectors.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A rich catalog of modern architecture and design, 15 Nov 2006 By  James Ferguson (Vilnius, Lithuania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Gluttonous perhaps, but then Domus is one of the best design periodicals there is and Taschen has done a superlative job of bringing 70 years of Domus together in this handsome set of volumes. You might call it the discerning architect's Sweets Catalogue, as this set of 12 books is packed with beautiful illustrations of architectural and design ideas, going back to the early days of Modern Architecture. The only thing better would be the original Domus magazines themselves. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
