domus 1970s (Bibliotheca Universalis) (Multilingual Edition)

Founded in 1928 as a “living diary” by the great Milanese architect and designer <strong>Gio Ponti</strong>, <em>domus</em> has been hailed as <strong>the world’s most influential architecture and design journal</strong>. With style and rigor, it has reported on the major themes and stylistic movements in industrial, interior, product, and structural design.<br /><br /> This fresh reprint of the <strong>1970s <em>domus</em></strong> coverage brings together the <strong>most important features from an era marking seismic changes in architecture and design</strong>. It was a time when <strong>individualism</strong> gained momentum as a novel style, and we began to notice the <strong>first postmodernist tendencies</strong>. Faced with the global energy crisis, architects and designers imbued their methods with a new <strong>ecological awareness</strong>.<br /><br /> For work to be featured in the magazine it had to offer function, spatial clarity, intellectual persuasion, relevant originality, and/or grace. Those groundbreaking projects and practitioners that made the cut include <strong>Shiro Kuramata, Verner Panton, Joe Colombo, Richard Meier, the modernist structures by Foster Associates and the Centre Georges Pompidou by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers.</strong><br /><br /><strong><em>domus</em> distilled</strong> <em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.<br /><strong>Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite</strong>!<br /><br />Text in English, French, German, and Italian
