domus 1960s Architecture Book

The book republishes all issues from the 1960s of the influential magazine domus, founded in 1928 by the architect Gio Ponti as a living archive for contemporary architecture and design. The series follows domus’ editorial line, where function, spatial clarity, intellectual acuity and formal originality were decisive selection criteria.

This volume shows how synthetic materials and plastics changed the design language during a decade marked by futurism and popular culture. The book documents movements such as Anti Design and Radical Design as well as the work of designers such as Ray and Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Verner Panton, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass and Eero Saarinen.
