Summary:
At the beginning of the 20th century, an unprecedented volume of information began circulating in the mass media, calling for the development of new visualization tactics to organize it all. The abundance of news and information required new forms of representation that would allow readers to glean a quick understanding of complex circumstances at a glance; the infographic was born. "Image Factories" is dedicated to the pioneering infographics of Austrian physician and illustrator Fritz Kahn (1888–1968) and German philosopher Otto Neurath (1882–1945), who both worked with graphic designers to realize their groundbreaking information visualizations. Presenting historical material and imagery designed between 1920 and 1945 alongside contemporary infographics, with a series of essays by Helena Doudova, Stephanie Jacobs, Patrick Rössler, Bernd Stiegler, Vilém Flusser and Otto Neurath, Image Factories offers a fascinating account of the early development of the infographic.

Summary:
This is the first book in the new Graphic Standards Field Guide Series. This visual reference helps readers take Interior Graphic Standards content into the “field.” The portable format allows quick access to the most common information about commercial interiors that interior architects and designers need while on construction site visits, evaluating existing buildings, meeting with clients, or visiting the showroom. The perfect companion to Interior Graphic Standards, this field guide provides the same quality architectural details and information that professionals count on from Graphic Standards, but adds photographs and interpretive information that are essential when outside of the office and away from the design desk. Organized to follow CSI's MasterFormat, this handy tool helps the professional designer address issues pertaining to commercial interior spaces. Its small trim size and durable binding is ideal for on-the-go interior designers and architects.

Summary:
Each year, the New York chapter of the AIGA invites a group of emerging designers to participate in the Fresh Dialogue forum. In/Visible: Graphic Data Revealed brings together a diverse group of information graphics designers for a lively discussion about the challenges they face visualizing information. Steve Duenes manages the New York Times print and online graphics department; Andrew Kuo attempts to categorize unmeasurable human emotions through meticulous charts and diagrams; Fernanda Viégas of IBM’s Visual Communication Lab is the cocreator of the Many Eyes social website that encourages members to upload, interpret, and revisualize one another’s data. Their discussion, moderated by Rhode Island School of Design president John Maeda, covers a range of current and anticipated trends in visual journalism, including issues such as data integrity and visual ethics, judicious simplicity versus seductive complexity, and the everincreasing demand for dynamic information.

Summary:
Throughout human history, the library, the archive and the museum have embodied knowledge, information and collective culture to such an extent that it is possible to compare systems of information organisation with spatial and architectural typologies. The publication, conceived in the occasion of the exhibition at Archizoom (EPFL), dives into the relationship between architectural and digital culture beyond the pure rhetoric of the digital turn and the digital as architectural style. The hypothesis is that the notions of "database", "network" and "interface"—common in the field of information technology—could be related to architectural issues of a formal, compositional or symbolic nature, of which spatial arrangements, plans or façades are the expression. In this sense, the publication presents a selection of case studies highlighting the possible links between digital and non-digital cultural projects and their architectural counterparts.

Summary:
Byung-Chul Han’s critique of the infosphere highlights the price we are paying for our growing preoccupation with information and communication. Today we search for more information without gaining any real knowledge. We communicate constantly without participating in a community. We save masses of data without keeping track of our memories. We accumulate friends and followers without encountering other people. This is how information develops a form of life that has no stability or duration. And as we become increasingly absorbed in the infosphere, we lose touch with the magic of things which provide a stable environment for dwelling and give continuity to human life. The infosphere may seem to grant us new freedoms but it creates new forms of control too, and it cuts us off from the kind of freedom that is tied to acting in the world.
