Summary:
"Massive Change" is a modern illustrated primer on the new inventions, technologies, and events that are affecting the human race worldwide. The book is a part of a broader research project by Bruce Mau Design intended to provoke debate and discussion about the future of design culture, broadly defined as the “familiar objects and techniques that are transforming our lives.” In essays, interviews, and provocative imagery aimed at a broad audience, "Massive Change" explores the changing force of design in the contemporary world, and in doing so expands the definition of design to include the built environment, transportation technologies, revolutionary materials, energy and information systems, and living organisms. The book is divided into 11 heavily illustrated sections covering major areas of change in contemporary society — such as urbanism and architecture, the military, health and living, and wealth and politics. Each section intersperses intriguing documentary images with a general introductory essay, extended captions, and interviews with leading thinkers, including engineers, designers, philosophers, scientists, architects, artists, and writers. Concluding the book is a graphic timeline of significant inventions and world events from 10,000 B.C. to the present. "Massive Change" is a well designed, intelligent, visually provocative exploration of the myriad subjects percolating through popular culture: those we read about in magazines and on Web sites but rarely understand in any meaningful way. It poses the question: “Now that the human race can do almost anything, what will we do next?” Accompanies the internationally touring exhibition produced by Bruce Mau and his Institute without Borders.

Summary:
This 'image book' presents a themed overview of the work of the graphic designer Piet Gerards. Fifty works chosen and provided with a commentary by Gerards himself show how playful perfectionism and ironic aestheticization have come to typify his iconoclastic style of designing. A recalcitrant commitment and an interest in art history set Piet Gerards on the trail of modernism and the historical avant-garde at an early stage. Experimenting in that spirit, he developed during the course of three decades a wholly individual approach that strikes a balance between aesthetic ideals and usefulness. Ben van Melick describes and interprets Piet Gerards's development step by step: from self-taught man and left-wing activist specializing in posters and pamphlets to publisher and premiated maker of books, organizer of special cultural productions and graphic designer of many facets. Van Melick's penetrating scrutiny of Gerards's work is complemented by an exhaustive documentary overview of major biographical and culture-historical backgrounds. These forge links, unfold narratives and introduce friends in a telling account of Gerards's world. Working title: Piet Gerards, graphic designer is an unconventional portrait of an unconventional designer, agitating against the vagaries of the day.
