本书对20世纪50年代发行的所有《domus》杂志进行了重印。随着冲突记忆的消退，建筑和设计寻求新的形式、材料和应用，以及国际对话。《domus》通过对勒•柯布西耶（Le Corbusier）设计的纽约联合国大厦、Charles Eames和Ray Eames夫妇Case Study Houses项目、加利福尼亚州的理查德•诺伊特拉(Richard Neutra)和巴西的Oscar Nierneyer的特写表现了这一氛围。其他亮点包括Olivetti公司设计的办公机器、Charles Eames和Ray Eames夫妇设计的家具、Ettore Sottsass设计的陶瓷和灯饰，以及Alexander Girard设计的旧金山Herman Miller展厅。

Founded in 1928 as a "living diary" by the great Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti, domus has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. With both style and rigor, it has offered consistent coverage of major themes and stylistic movements in product, structure, interior, and industrial design. In this fresh reprint of all 1950s issues, the magazine brings its visual and intellectual clarity to an era of post-

war optimism. As memories of conflict receded, architecture and design sought new forms, materials, and applications, as well as international dialogue. domus captured the mood with features on Le Corbusier's design of the United Nations Building in New York; the Case Study Houses of Charles and Ray Eames; Richard Neutra in California and Oscar Nierneyer in Brazil. Other highlights include office machines by Olivetti, furniture by Ray and Charles Eames, ceramics and lights by Ettore Sottsass, and the Herman Miller Showroom by Alexander Girard in San Francisco.
