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 1960s issues, the magazine documents the daring, practical, and beautiful projects of a decade of futuristic thrill and booming pop culture. Synthetics and plastics hit the stage, leading to radical new design, while conventional notions of elegance give way to fresh, exploratory forms. For work to be featured in the magazine it had to offer function, spatial clarity, intellectual persuasion, relevant originality, and / or grace. Those projects and practitioners that made the grade include the Anti and Radical Design movements, Ray and Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Kenzo Tange, Verner Panton, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, James Stirling, and Eero Saarinen.

• A domesticidade Pop dos anos 1970 Considerações finais.

Book is result of author's thesis in 2010. "In this work, I aim to discuss the impact of the transformations in the gender relations promoted in the 1960s in the incorporation of the Pop language in the design of products made in Brazil between the late 1960s and the mid 1970s. I used the representations of domestic interiors published by Casa & Jardim magazine as sources of research. The conceptual approach chosen to study decorative magazines is based on their characterization as lifestyle media. By operating as cultural intermediaries, lifestyle media produce, disseminate, and legitimize particular forms of knowledge, values, and behaviors, offering the reader audience attachment points for the constitution of class, gender, and generation identities. Generally speaking, representations of artifacts and Pop environments in Home & Garden suggest domesticity alternatives aimed at the middle classes, identified with the youth culture. As a constitutive part of the behavioral revolution unleashed in the 1960s on an international scale, Pop design was one of the means used by the youth of the time to express their yearnings for changes in the hegemonic rules that organized social life. Due to its connection with the iconoclastic postures experienced by young people at that time, I want to argue that Pop domesticity was both informed and had an impact on the changes that occurred in the current gender relations. By proposing the use of the body in a relaxed and relaxed way, the furniture and Pop environments gave support for the expansion of the limits referring to the patterns of female behavior, classified as acceptable until then."

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.

The Ambassador has been described as 'probably the most daring and enterprising trade magazine ever conceived'. With the motto 'Export or Die!', the magazine was renowned for its innovative design and adventurous editorial approach in promoting British manufacturing in the post-war period. This book takes a detailed look at the background and impact of The Ambassador. The magazine was driven by the vision of its founder Hans Juda and his wife, Elsbeth, who was responsible for much of the magazine's striking photography. Focusing on the perceived strengths of British industry, they set up ambitious photo shoots to showcase the latest couture fashions by the likes of Charles Creed and Victor Stiebel. The magazine promoted fine art as an inspiration for design, and commissioned artists such as John Piper and Henry Moore for their covers.
