Summary:
Since the 70s Wolfgang Weingart has exerted a decisive influence on the international development of typography. In the late 60s he instilled creativity and a desire for experimentation into the ossified Swiss typographical industry and reflected this renewal in his own work. Weingart teaches his students to learn from their own experiments and experiences. Countless designers have been inspired by his teaching at the Basle School of Design and by his lectures. In "Typography" Weingart gives an unusual and frank narrative of his early life and development as a designer. For the first time he gives a comprehensive survey of his works over the past forty years, most of which are unknown.

Summary:
Ville Palladiane takes shape through details, margins, atmospheres, and traces of contemporary life within the historic villas designed by Andrea Palladio. A complex and classical theme - at times seemingly obvious - was approached by students with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a touch of genuine naïveté, resulting in a visual narrative that captures Palladio’s timeless, yet strikingly modern, architectural universe. This volume is part of Prospettive, a photographic documentation project by the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione, curated by Carlo Birrozzi and Alessandro Coco. Produced during the 2023–24 Architectural Photography course led by Alberto Sinigaglia at ISIA Urbino, the work contributes to ICCD’s ongoing exploration of architectural themes through student perspectives.

Summary:
Art-school students learn that research skills are essential if they are to contribute alternative ways of thinking, not least to counter the neoliberal forces influencing the globe. How can these research skills unique to art academies find wider application? The essays and projects presented here look at art-school research practices that can inform the worlds of culture, industry, housing, education, politics, public space, advertising and science. The projects are structured into 12 themes ranging from ''The climate crisis'' to ''Politics of public space.'' Each is embedded in a recent news story that positions how that topic is discussed in the press. Each chapter ends with a response from an academic.

Summary:
AA Files 76 is structured as a glossary of terms relevant to contemporary debate in architecture. Each entry has been contributed by a different author, and represents a personal position as much as an attempt to frame the topic in a broader context; the issue therefore maps both a landscape of current concerns, interests, and ambitions, and also an overview of diverse positions and forms of practice. The authors of this glossary are practitioners, academics, students, lawyers, politicians, activists, and their contributions do not only seek to explore the potential of the themes put forward, but also to question the ways in which we can discuss space - as designers, as scholars, as citizens.

Summary:
In 2014, Candida Höfer (b. Eberswalde, Germany, 1944; lives and works in Cologne) traveled to Mexico, visiting the eight cities Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Puebla, Tepotzotlán, Tlacochahuaya, and Tonantzintla, where she photographed old and new libraries, theaters and opera houses, churches and museums, poorhouses and palaces. Most of the pictures are organized by symmetry along a central axis, a characteristic feature of her art. If these works suggest her training with Hilla and Bernd Becher, who taught photography in Düsseldorf- she is now the best known of their students- others show a "new" Candida Höfer: oldfashioned offices, weatherbeaten walls, and simple stores as well as a few expertly captured details of façades, floors, and interiors.

Summary:
With ‘ToolBook’, Diogo Brito authors a practical publication about architectural practice in the everyday life of architects. From a formal perspective, the book is written as if it were a screenplay for a movie, as both the scriptwriter and the architect must be creative within a set of rules, assumptions, conditions, or limitations. Brito, a founding partner of the Portuguese office OODA, looks at projects by Foster + Partners, Steven Holl, Fernando Romero, Bjarke Ingels, Kengo Kuma, and Eduardo Souto de Moura in order to analyse the working processes of architects through critical narration of various ways of being and doing, thereby building a set of useful tools for both students and architects.

Summary:
"SuperDesign" charts the Italian Radicals’ experimentation in modern design from its birth through its continued influence on design today. Radical Design was launched by art, architecture, and design students in Italy in the mid-1960s. What started as a youthful rally against the establishment and a rejection of design norms became a movement that brought together avant-garde thinkers and makers across the country.Through furniture and objects as well as public innovations, the Radicals projected design’s new era as equal parts Pop Art, play, Surrealism, and futurism. Told through exclusive interviews, unreleased photographs, original drawings and artwork unearthed from personal archives, "SuperDesign" explores this period of design that played out against the era’s social and political turmoil.
