Où sont nées les premières villes et à quoi devons-nous leur triomphe ? Qui a développé les mathématiques – ou a inventé la monnaie ? L'Histoire de l’humanité est une histoire d'invention et d'innovation : nous avons continuellement créé, utilisé ou admiré de nouveaux objets. Avec ce livre, Neil MacGregor dresse un portrait inattendu de l'évolution humaine. Il démontre le pouvoir qu'ont les choses de nous connecter avec une incomparable immédiateté à des hommes très éloignés dans l'espace et dans le temps, et de permettre à toute l'humanité d'avoir une voix dans notre histoire commune.

Founded in 1987, the design collection of the Museum of Design Zurich now has more than 15,000 exhibits, 20,000 examples of packaging and the Archive for Swiss Design and is the first and most comprehensive of its type in Switzerland. "Take away" is the first in a series of publications which presents treasures from the collection on a specific theme. Like the exhibition of the same name, the focus here is the contentious world of items used in mobile food culture: stacking plates, paper cups, pizza boxes, picnic baskets as well as things like mini toothbrushes, folding furniture and much more. This book shows just how much mobile eating shapes our lives, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Not only has it changed what we eat, but also how, where and what we use to eat. Whether fast food, take away, system gastronomy or convenience food.

Summary:
This publication studies methods for creating flexible looks for public and cultural institutions. The classic logos normally used by companies are the result of a unique process of compression and abstraction. By contrast, flexible looks do not conceal their diverse components of identity in a logo, forming instead a complex family of symbols from them. In the combination of a basic logo and a family of symbols, the look is in a position to represent the fundamentals (the philosophy of the institution, its program) and the specifics (e.g., temporary exhibitions and events). The author describes the effect and potential of looks and offers the criteria that distinguish fully developed, dynamic looks. Case studies of famous designers such as Karl Gerstner and Ruedi Baur enhance the analysis.
