Corbusiers' Maison Dom-ino at 100


















To celebrate Corbusiers' Maison Dom-ino turning 100 this year, aaschool have built a 1:1 replica for the Venice Biennale. Its hard to think of this simple design with minimal supports being radical, but it was at the time. Originally proposed as a solution to housing crisis, Maison Dom-ino failed that brief (never being employed), but its impact was, and still is, indisputable. It's principles and ethos still inform every aspect of contemporary design, architecture, and life.
It has been constructed out of engineered wooden components to allow it to be transported and will be travelling to london at some point, so look out!
