Summary:
An inspiring blend of sculpture, politics and gesture, the art of Michael Rakowitz (born 1973) makes a direct engagement with the larger dilemmas of the present, with ecological solutions and civic interventions. These include projects such as paraSITE, a series of inflatable plastic homeless shelters, each of which was tailored to the occupant's needs, and which was designed to inflate by latching on to heat-exhaust ducts on the sides of buildings. In The invisible enemy should not exist—his most famous project to date—Rakowitz faithfully replicated the objects known to be missing or looted from the Iraqi National Museum during the U.S. invasion, using the cheap paper packaging of Middle Eastern import foods. This handsome volume surveys these and other recent projects.

Summary:
Based in Tokyo, Tokujin Yoshioka has built a career using unconventional materials to create objects and spaces. Often employing paper and glass, as well as unusual elements, such as plastic drinking straws, his studio’s work has achieved a cult following among design enthusiasts. His most recent experiments transcend industrial design, occupying a space between science and art, typified by the Venus chair, where crystals were naturally grown over a fiber form immersed in a glass tank filled with a solution. Designed by Groovisions, the book includes more than three hundred sketches, concept renderings, and photographs. The projects are organized thematically, with an emphasis on materials and process, and show how Yoshioka transforms commonplace items to create objects of tensile strength and sublime beauty.

Summary:
Today the human impact on our planet can hardly be underestimated. Climate change, population explosion, genetic manipulation, digital networks, plastic islands floating in the oceans. This book explores our changing notion of nature. How nature has become one of the most successful products of our time, much of what we perceive as nature is merely a simulation although a romanticized idea of a balanced, harmonic, inherently good and threatened entity. How evolution continues nonetheless. How technology - traditionally created to protect us from the forces of nature - gives rise to a next nature, that is just as wild, cruel, unpredictable and threatening as ever. How we are playing with fire again and again. How we should be careful in doing so, yet how this is also what makes us human.

Summary:
Julien Valée explore the relative roles of the computer and handmade processes in design. Vallée works in a wide range of fields, including art direction, motion graphics, print design, and art installation as well as video and design for the television industry. With his expert use of manual processes strongly supported by the technological tools of today-mainly in mixing a digital conception phase with different implementation materials, such as paper, wood, and plastic-he creates outstanding art and design that seamlessly bridges the gaps between these disciplines. This first monograph not only presents Julien Vallée's commissioned work for clients such as the New York Times, MTV, AOL, and Computer Arts, but also includes a selection of personal projects. Each book includes a unique log-in code for accessing his video work online.

Summary:
London-based photography duo Coppi Barbieri- established by Lucilla Barbieri and Fabrizio Coppi in 1991- have crafted meticulous still life photographs for such clients as Apple, Cartier, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, Van Cleef & Arpels. This book focuses on the duo’s early noncommercial work. Their first experiments involved images of flowers immersed in water, common household objects such as plastic bottles and glassware, and backlit dresses animated by fans. Their inspiration was the work of historical photographers such as André Kertész, Baron Adolph de Meyer and Josef Sudek, and the painter Giorgio Morandi- but they also injected the sensibility of fashion photographers working at that time, such as Paolo Roversi and Javier Vallhonrat. Their slow process involved using 5x7 film, which lends the pictures in this book a unique otherworldliness.

Summary:
The photographer Christine Erhard’s (b. Crailsheim, 1969; lives and works in Düsseldorf) work delves into the history of the depiction of architecture, and specifically of early-twentieth-century German modernism and constructivist and brutalist structures. Her compositions are inspired by archival research, in which she unearths photographs that typically show architectonic spaces, modernist buildings, or cityscapes. These two-dimensional images often become models for plastic constructions, which are themselves photographed so that different levels of reflection and reality overlap. In exhibitions, Erhard arranges her pictures in installations that transpose them back into three dimensions, for a vivid experience of the dialectical interplay between depiction and physical space. The photographic image emerges in these installations as a body hovering between flat ornament, the illusion of depth, and sculptural presence.

This catalog from design giant Vitra Inc. is used as a marketing tool for furniture sales, and it’s beautifully persuasive, proving that these classic pieces of design can work in the real world. Put an Eames lounge chair in front of a disheveled pile of records, a Nelson sunburst clock over a platter of leeks and carrots, or a Panton plastic chair at the bottom of a swimming pool with enthusiastic children using it for a diving platform – you’ll understand that fine design works anywhere. Just ask the black and white kitty curled up in the Nelson Coconut Chair. A handsome full-color volume.

Summary:
Residential design provides a rich testing ground for architectural innovation. Intimate scales and specific programs inspire distinctive homes, and comparatively small budgets are catalysts for exploring nontraditional materials. Modern Shoestring proves that building a contemporary house can be affordable and shows how constraints actually stimulate the most creative design solutions. Eighteen residential projects are presented, with emphasis on the goals of the owners, the site, and the cost in the design process. Collections determine floor plans, observatories are built for starry rural nights, and found and industrial materials such as highway construction remnants, laboratory counters, plastic water bottles, and discarded chalkboards keep costs low while imbuing structures with character. These ingenious designs range in cost from $50 to $220 per square foot and represent geographical settings from Los Angeles to Anchorage to East Hampton.

Summary:
Albert Frey worked in Le Corbusier's atelier in Paris, but he is most closely associated with the 1940s and 1950s desert architecture of Southern California, and with the work of architects such as Richard Neutra and John Lautner. This exquisitely designed monograph on Albert Frey focuses on two houses he built for himself in Palm Springs, California, one in 1941 (with an addition in 1953) and the other in 1964. Although both houses have a modern aesthetic, including glass walls and concrete construction, they are fully incorporated into their surroundings, in keeping with Frey's principles of paralleling nature in his work. This title, which was developed in collaboration with Frey himself, includes colour and duotone photographs commissioned especially for this book. The book is exquisitely made and comes in a plastic slipcase.
