Summary:
Plus de quinze projets de paysage illustrés de photographies en couleur et de plans, documentés et commentés en détail par leurs architectes respectifs, offrent une mise à jour des connaissances de cette branche du design, utile au professionnel ou à l'étudiant impliqué dans la gestion du paysage. Les projets sélectionnés contiennent des concepts qui ont été appliqués à de nombreux contextes et à différentes échelles. Montagnes, vallées, environnements climatiques spécifiques et espaces de différents types se convertissent en une nouvelle forme d'expression artistique. La nature et l'art acquièrent une vision cosmologique à travers laquelle s'estompent les limites et surgissent de nouveaux environnements significatifs, qui exaltent les caractéristiques du milieu local et invitent les personnes à réévaluer le lieu dans lequel elles vivent.

Summary:
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:
In this artist book, Derya Akay explores the slipperiness of language, identity, gender, food, and culture, through a kaleidoscope of images, layered together in a scrapbook-like style collection. Children's drawings, scribbles, textures, and textiles are gathered alongside detailed depictions of architecture, ornamentation, and flora and fauna from the southern Turkish city of Adana, where the artist was raised, and where Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians faced genocidal erasure in 1909, 1915, and throughout the 20th century. Reflecting on the Turkification of Anatolian food and culture, Akay explores the diasporic legacy and ongoing nature of familial inheritance, reformation, and erasure.
