Inspired in part by the vernacular Ottoman architecture he observed during his travels in Turkey in 1911, Le Corbusier’s Maison Dom-Ino, first presented a century ago, could be read as a manifesto for openness in architecture—a hypothetical proposal for a new symbiosis between the hand of the architect and the individuality of the occupant. Through a series of 99 short films, 99 Dom-Ino takes the centennial of Le Corbusier’s design as the trigger for a survey of Italian domesticity and its relationship with the landscape, throughout the full length of the peninsula, over the last 100 years.
