The German publishing house DOM has released more than 130 Architectural Guides to regions, cities and countries around the world, as well as one guide to the Moon. Unified by a spare, colorful, graphic convention, inside each guide is a devoted curator’s unique take on the 20th- and 21st-century architecture of the locality. Unfrozen interviews Bjorn Rosen, Publishing Director, for insights on the history and philosophy of the DOM Guides.
