Summary:
Many prophesied that the printed book would be doomed by developments in digital media. Far from it! The book has not only survived, but as tactile qualities have gained significance in our increasingly digital world there is also more unhindered experimentation with bound paper pages now than ever before. The materiality of the medium can give sensual emphasis to complex visual and textual content or appreciate its value. Some content isn t even apparent until it takes the form of a real object the printed book. Fully Booked is devoted to current cover and book design. It presents material from printed publications that succeed in striking a crucial balance between the market s demands for availability, legibility and durability on the one hand and sophisticated visual and content design on the other.

L’abandon officiel de l’ampoule à incandescence et son remplacement par des sources de lumière moins consommatrices en énergie ouvrent de formidables perspectives pour les designers. La diversité des matériaux dont l’utilisation devient aujourd’hui envisageable à proximité d’ampoules qui, désormais, n’émettent plus de chaleur, a donné naissance à des lampes inimaginables il y a à peine quelques années. Mais les designers cherchent également des solutions pour réchauffer la lumière émise par ces nouvelles ampoules, qu’il s’agisse de fluocompactes ou de LED, et leurs créations dans ce domaine rivalisent d’ingéniosité. Ce livre, en présentant plus de deux cents lampes parmi les plus belles et fascinantes, révèle l’immense créativité des designers d’aujourd’hui.

Summary:
Mobility is the ultimate new form of freedom: freedom from routine, traditional values, and geographic restraints. Today's creatives thrive on a lifestyle that enables them to work six months in a shared office in Berlin, spend the summer in a caravan in Chile, and show up in time for their next project at a temporary desk in New York. This growing trend has generated visionary ways of designing products and spaces that facilitate a nomadic yet high-tech life. From a modular dwelling system on wheels to an inflatable classroom in a repurposed dumpster, this book compiles a wide range of flexible spaces and innovative products that define today's nomads. Through innovative technology, and by (literally) thinking outside the box, the designers behind these concepts give people the freedom to call the entire world their home.

Cet ouvrage présente le travail de plus d’une centaine d’artistes qui tous proposent des créations dans lesquelles le thème de l’architecture, du bâti, joue un rôle central. Sculptures, installations, dessins, peintures, collages et photomontages ne sont que quelques-unes des nombreuses techniques utilisées par ces artistes pour exprimer leur vision de la chose construite, qu’il s’agisse d’une maison, d’une église, d’un immeuble, ou plus largement de la rue ou de la ville. Propositions, critiques, hommages, questionnements abondent dans ces projets qui, en définitive, racontent l’histoire de lieux, réels ou fictifs, utopiques ou tragiques, et révèlent l’importance du rôle de l’architecture dans notre culture visuelle.
