Summary:
This volume presents a comprehensive study of Arabic letterforms, starting with a concise historical overview of their development and styles, and proceeding to the design and technological advances until the end of the 20th century. In a digital age when the widespread integration of computer technologies has brought text-based information into many facets of everyday life, it attempts to establish the foundations for Arabic type design by drawing lessons from past practices and aesthetic conventions. After all, it is crucial that the enduring traits that are relevant for innovation in future type design creations, functionality, and legibility are recorded, analysed, and retained.

Summary:
From the 1990s until just before his death, the legendary art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto carried out extended conversations about contemporary art with the prominent Italian critic Demetrio Paparoni. Their discussions ranged widely over a vast range of topics, from American pop art and minimalism to abstraction and appropriationism. Yet they continually returned to the concepts at the core of Danto’s thinking—posthistory and the end of aesthetics—provocative notions that to this day shape questions about the meaning and future of contemporary art. This book presents these rich dialogues and correspondence, testifying to the ongoing importance of Danto’s ideas.

Summary:
In our current era of global pandemic and violent political upheaval, the question must be asked: What is our future and whose voices will announce it? These can only be situated voices, each with its own body and space, formed through dialogue within their own communities and in reaction and resistance to dominant discourses. Museum director, curator, and writer Zdenka Badovinac argues that these situated voices of people, artworks, and exhibitions, rooted in the local, can bring incisive, productive change. The call of these voices, in rethinking art, curation, and institutions, is the subject of this powerful essay.

This book consists of a collection of theoretical reflections and practical perspectives that offer a holistic vision of human activity in enduring, dynamic interaction with other living systems. Positioned as a ‘resource for design thinking and practice’, it challenges the paths through which contemporary design practitioners operate, offering alternative perspectives and an expanded palette of tools for addressing the complex web of interdependencies. The book is intended to inspire well beyond design fields, serving as a vehicle for reflection (re-)imagination and further investigation of ‘Slower’ approaches of living, individually and collectively, now and into the future.

Summary:
This publication presents contributions from the symposium ''Constructive Futures – Beyond Concrete'', which marked the start of the academic year 2021/2022 at the School of Architecture of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. Its aim is to explore constructive and future-oriented solutions beyond our professional comfort zones and provide the opportunity to reflect on where the construction and planning industry currently stands. Why does a fundamental change seem inevitable? With an eye towards our limited resources, we must also rethink approaches and nurture a design culture that finds new ways to deal with building materials.

Summary:
Today’s designers are creating compelling atmospheres and interactive experiences by merging hardware and software with architecture and design. This book is a collection of this innovative work produced where virtual realms meet the real world and where dataflow confronts the human senses. It presents an international spectrum of interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of laboratory, trade show, and urban space that play with the new frontiers of perception, interaction, and staging created by current technology. The work reveals how technology is fundamentally changing and expanding strategies for the targeted use of architecture, art, communication, and design for the future.

Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global-warming -and blunt its effects- by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. "The Agile City" shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly. Russell highlights tactics that create multiplier effects, which means that ecologically driven change can shore-up economic opportunity, can make more productive workplaces, and can help revive neglected communities.
