About this book:
Domus: Volume 3, 1950–1954 captures a dynamic postwar era of creative resurgence in architecture and design. Reflecting optimism and innovation, it documents pivotal moments such as the ninth Triennale di Milano and features groundbreaking works by figures like Carlo Mollino, Marco Zanuso, George Nelson, and Oscar Niemeyer. Highlights include Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation, the Eameses’ Case Study Houses, and Studio BBPR’s Olivetti showroom. This richly illustrated volume offers a vital snapshot of early 1950s modernism and the global exchange of progressive ideas that shaped mid-century aesthetics.
