"Domus" presents its "Volume XI - 1990-1994". This series features the quintessential works of modernism. For eight decades, "domus" has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. Founded in 1928 by the great Milanese architect Gio Ponti, the magazine's central agenda has always remained that of creating a privileged insight toward identifying the style of a particular age, from Art Deco, Modern Movement, Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Postmodernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and comprehensively documented, page after page "domus" presents some of the most exciting design and architecture projects from around the world. Each of the 12 volumes in Taschen's "domus" reprint collection reproduces a selection of the magazine's pages as they originally appeared, and is packed with articles that bring to light the incredible history of modern design and architecture. Available as separate volumes covering the period of 1928-1999, this series is a major publishing achievement and an important must-have for all design and architecture teaching institutions, practicing architects, designers, collectors, students, and anyone who loves design. This title covers the years 1990-1994 - the next generation. The first half of the 1990s, this volume's focus, marked a shifting of the generations in architecture and design. "domus" - up to date as always - documented the work of this new generation with elaborate articles and reports. The architects Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield, Philippe Starck, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron made their debuts in domus during this period. In addition, established architectural greats like Frank O. Gehry, Mario Bellini, Richard Meier, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Santiago Calatrava, and Zaha Hadid were also featured. In product design, Marc Newson, Rodney Kinsman, Jasper Morrison as well as the brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana appeared in the spotlight.
