Summary:
"Romantic modernist: the life and Wwrk of Norman Jaffe, architect" is the first book to explore Norman Jaffe's body of work and the inner struggle that shaped his life. After mysteriously disappearing early one day in the late summer of 1993 while on a morning swim, the famously prolific architect left behind many unanswered questions - not only about the cause of his death but also about the nature of his architectural legacy. Through interviews with Jaffe's closest friends and associates, as well as exhaustive archival research, critic Alastair Gordon traces Jaffe's career trajectory from his early years on the West Coast through his increasingly celebrated life in New York and his premature, unexplained death.

Summary:
Exploring computer graphics in the use of two- and three-dimensional decoration is the aim of this project by designer Karim Rashid. Divided into five parts by theme (SYMBOLIK, IKONIK, GRAPHIK, OPTIKAL, and INFOSTETHIK), Digipop showcases Rashid’s colorful, geometrical patterns both as simple designs and as applied to three-dimensional objects such as clothing, figures, and abstract shapes. Created over the last ten years for architectural products, objects, art shows, and gallery and museum installations, these designs, graphics, and icons are meant, says Rashid, “to suggest, inspire, consider, criticize, document, represent, symbolize and energize the worlds of the decorative, from objects to fashion, textile, and space.”
