Domus Magazine

Today it's reprints serve as a bible for  identifying the style of a particular age, from Art Deco, the Modern Movement, Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Post-Modernism and Late Modern.  These are real treasures. It not only focused on the Italian, but gave credit to any new movement anywhere in the world in design or architecture.  It was a cronical of it's time.  A time capsule of design. The reprint is in twelve volumns edited by Peter and Charlotte Fiell and can be purchased at Amazon.

Various covers from the magazine Domus

 These volumns have influenced and are still influencing architects and designers today, as well as students of architecture.  There is a real estate magazine produced in the U. S. that uses the name Domus.
