''First conceived by Le Corbusier in 1914 as a prototype for mass-produced European housing, the minimal design for Maison Dom-ino has become one of the most recognisable images of 20th-century architecture.'' -
- ''The Architectural Association (AA) wanted to celebrate the concept's centenary by creating a year-long programme of events, starting with the construction of a 1:1 model in Venice.''
- The model was made to celebrate 100 years of Dom-ino.
I am inspired by the material that has been used to build this replica - it has been designed to be flat packed to be moved to various locations. There are hints of mass production even 100 years later -
The house was originally designed to be made from reinforced concrete and steel, to be mass produced on a large scale, to solve a housing issue in 1914 in Europe.
