Founded in 1928 by Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti, domus has stood as a "living diary" chronicling major themes and stylistic movements in architecture and design. This reprint focuses on the 1970s, a transformative era marked by individualism, the rise of postmodernist tendencies, and heightened ecological awareness in response to the global energy crisis.

The volume showcases influential projects and practitioners, including Shiro Kuramata, Verner Panton, Joe Colombo, Richard Meier, Foster Associates, and the Centre Georges Pompidou by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Each edition includes translated texts, an index, and introductory essays by renowned architects and designers.
