DOMUS, A REFERENCE POINT FROM 1928
Domus magazine was founded in 1928 by the architect Gio Ponti. He was joined in 1929 by the publisher Gianni Mazzocchi, who expressly established Editoriale Domus to issue the magazine.
Mazzocchi handed the reins to his daughter Maria Giovanna, the current publisher of Domus and the president of Editoriale Domus, in 1976. Since then, the magazine has adhered to an important strategy that has guaranteed its vitality, authority and longevity.
The duration of editorship was shortened to a few years, with the precise aim of ensuring a constantly fresh approach to contemporaneity.
From being a magazine led by one architect, Domus became a magazine of many architects, continuing to collect prestigious names at its editorial helm. After Ponti, the roster of editors-in-chief has grown to include Massimo Bontempelli, Giuseppe Pagano, Melchiorre Bega, Ernesto Nathan Rogers, Alessandro Mendini, Lisa Ponti, Mario Bellini, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, François Burkhardt, Deyan Sudjic, Stefano Boeri, Flavio Albanese, Joseph Grima, Nicola Di Battista, Michele De Lucchi, Winy Maas, David Chipperfield, Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, and for 2023 Steven Holl and Toshiko Mori.
Since 2017, Walter Mariotti has been the editorial director overseeing the entire Domus organisation.
Domus is fully bilingual Italian–English and sold in 89 countries.
At the venerable age of 95, the magazine, its website, events and branded initiatives continue to look to the future and diffuse the competency of the brightest minds.
