About this book

Domus: Volume 3, 1950-1954 is part of a series that chronicles the influential Italian design and architecture magazine “Domus.” This volume focuses on the early 1950s, a period marked by optimism and innovation in architecture and design. The book showcases contemporary trends of the time through detailed reports on events like the ninth Triennial in Milan and profiles of designers such as Tapio Wirkkala, Finn Juhl, Carlo de Carli, Carlo Mollino, Piero Fornasetti, Marco Zanuso, Harry Bertoia, and George Nelson. It also features significant architectural works, including Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille, the Case Study Houses by Charles and Ray Eames, Richard Neutra’s projects in California, Oscar Niemeyer’s work in Brazil, and the futuristic Olivetti Showroom by Studio BBPR in New York. This compilation offers an excellent overview of the international architecture of the avant-garde during the early 1950s.
