Summary:
Printed Pages is an arts and design magazine which focuses on depth and discovery, combining engaging and accessible content with top-notch design values. Published twice a year, it is a compendium of the best work featured on itsnicethat.com, curated and designed by the editorial and creative team. For this issue, Printed Pages delves deep into the Bauhaus archives 100 years after the school opened its doors, with a little help from Pentagram partner Sascha Lobe, who designed both the cover and the poster. Inside, there's a report on what went down when they spent a week at Eike König's ''After School Club'', a trip to Nigeria with designer Lemi Ghariokwu, and a look at what must be the world's most heated bonfire rivalry.

Summary:
''Worldline'' a été mise en oeuvre simultanément le 5 mars 1971, en donnant lieu à une ligne virtuelle mondiale dont les segments visibles étaient installés dans vingt-cinq institutions artistiques de l'Australie, du Brésil, du Canada, du Danemark, de la France, des États-Unis, de la Finlande, d'Islande, du Nigeria, du Sierra Leone, de la Yougoslavie, etc. La participation de ces institutions, chacune formant un des relais de la ligne mondiale, constituait l'oeuvre en soi. Cette réalisation d'une extrême complexité pour l'époque a nécessité la contribution d'un ingénieur qui, avec l'aide d'un ordinateur, a évalué l'orientation des lignes de manière à tenir compte de la rotondité de la Terre. Cette publication documente toutes les étapes de la réalisation de ce projet incluant la correspondance, les calculs géodésiques et les images des différents lieux participants.

Summary:
What does the ideal capital look like? Photographer Nick Hannes traveled to six countries – Egypt, Korea, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Brazil – that have recently built a new capital or are in the process of doing so. Each and every one of them is a typical example of what Rem Koolhaas calls the Generic City: a planned city without historical layers, local identity, or its own character. As a visual sociologist with a sharp eye for detail, Hannes searches for the human dimension in a setting full of spectacular architecture and pompous prestige projects. "New Capital" is a critical reflection on unbridled neoliberal urban development and its social and ecological consequences, but is also peppered with subtle humor and surprising coincidences. Meandering between pride and sadness, "New Capital" shows how utopia and dystopia are sometimes surprisingly close.
