1940–1949: Destruction and reconstruction

In fascist Italy, Modernism flourished in buildings and designs by Carlo Mollino, Gian Luigi Banfi, Franco Albini, and Giuseppe Terragni. After the war, Organic Design emerged alongside the International Style. Despite enormous obstacles, the avant-garde continued to thrive in Italy, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the USA. This tome includes reports and features on modern industrial design and furniture, domestic and business interiors, new prefabricated houses, and American academic architecture.

1950 – 1954: Architecture of the avant-garde
The early 1950s were characterized by great optimism, as memories of World War II receded. Architecture and design sought new forms, materials and applications – and domus captured the mood with detailed reports on Tapio Wirkkala, Finn Juhl, Carlo de Carli, Carlo Mollino, Piero Fornasetti, Harry Bertoia and George Nelson; via features on Le Corbusier’s famous Unité d’Habitation; the Case Study Houses of Charles and Ray Eames; Richard Neutra in California and Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil; and the futuristic Olivetti Showroom by Studio BBPR in New York. This book offers a superb overview of international architecture of the avant-garde in the early '50s.

In architecture, buildings by Gio Ponti, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, James Stirling, and Eero Saarinen are among the highlights.

1970–74: Individuality reigns supreme
The early '70s saw seismic changes in architecture and design, as a trend towards individuality manifested in novel styles and construction methods. Futuristic work by Luigi Moretti stood in contrast to practical designs by Renzo Piano or Richard Rogers; elsewhere the first postmodern tendencies could be detected. Japanese architect Kisho Kuramata created metabolic buildings and city planning, while the living landscapes of designers Verner Panton and Joe Colombo opened new vistas.

1975–1979: First signs of ecological awareness
The mid–'70s saw a global energy crisis resulting from oil shortages. As a result, architecture and design moved to embrace alternative resources, ecological building methods, and recyclable materials. Featured are postmodern buildings by Richard Meier, the modernistic structures by Foster Associates, the Centre Georges Pompidou by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and the work of the Japanese architects Arata Isozaki and Kisho Kurakawa. Also included are designs for transport systems, office machines, and electrical appliances.

1980 – 1984: Postmodern preoccupations
The early '80s saw the rise of Postmodernism. Italian design groups Alchimia and Memphis, led by Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Michele de Lucchi, and Ettore Sottsass, questioned the functionality of design objects. Everyday items and classic designs were reinterpreted with ironic relish. In architecture, similar ideas took shape in the buildings of Hans Hollein, Michael Graves, Studio Nizzoli, and the offices of Venturi, Rauch & Scott Brown, while deconstructivist tendencies were recognizable in early designs by Zaha Hadid.

1985–1989: The eighties in full force
Along with the Postmodern - buildings, interior decoration, and designs by Peter Shire, Richard Meier, Gustav Peichl, Ricardo Bofill, Ettore Sottsass, Arata Isozaki, and Arquitectonica – the High-Tech Style was dominant, led by the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation offices by Foster Associates, and the Lloyds Building by Richard Rogers. Contemporary avant-garde led with designs by Daniel Libeskind in Berlin. In product design, furniture and lamps by Alberto Meda and Philippe Starck were published in domus for the first time.

1990–1994: The next generation
The early 1990s saw a generational shift in architecture and design: domus documented the rise of architects Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield, Philippe Starck, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron, while still featuring architectural greats like Frank O. Gehry, Mario Bellini, Richard Meier, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, and Santiago Calatrava. In product design, Marc Newson, Rodney Kinsman, Jasper Morrison and Fernando and Humberto Campana made waves.
