Students, architects, designers and artists posted their own Domus cover on Instagram under #mydomuscover. The resulting graphical compositions, cultured citations, artistic collages and poetic images were sometimes provocative and almost always creative and appealing. Most represented a consideration not only related to architecture or design, but also to societal, philosophical and political themes. Here is a selection of covers with a historical element – some sacrilegiously approached, others reverentially.

A complete overview of Domus’s one thousand covers – illustrating mutations in the magazine’s character and graphic design – is published in the latest issue, at news-stands since December.
