Résumé:
Introducing the second-edition, hardcover version of ''Sam Chermayeff [et al.]: Creatures,'' edited by Moritz Küng! With the first edition sold out in less than a year, this book takes a look back through nearly two decades of experimental projects undertaken by the Berlin-based architect Sam Chermayeff and his collaborators—for the most part pieces of furniture whose use, appearance, or application has been reimagined and readapted. But these ‘creatures’ are not just conceptual; they’re made to be lived with daily and all start with the idea that personal whim is probably the best guide for producing any design that’s to be lived with day in, day out. Photos of these objects go hand in hand with an essay by writer and curator Dieter Roelstraete, who talks us through Chermayeff’s work in the context of ‘thing theory’, a school of thought that focuses on human-object interactions. Readers move back and forth between their own view of Chermayeff’s creatures and Roelstraete’s reflections on the nature of ‘things’, as he also draws on cultural figures like Heidegger, Francis Ponge, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Karl Ove Knausgård, and our relationship to the indomitable presence of objects in our lives.

Résumé:
Cette publication de référence de la sculptrice Regina, figure du second futurisme italien des années 1930, liée au Movimento Arte Concreta, dont l'œuvre méconnue apparaît comme l'une des plus fascinantes et novatrices du panorama artistique européen du XXe siècle. L'ouvrage vise à rendre compte de l'ensemble des dimensions d'une personnalité unique, restée à tort en marge de l'histoire et redécouverte aujourd'hui comme une figure complexe, expérimentale, multiple et poétique. La légèreté des matériaux, le dynamisme des formes, un langage fait de synthèses géométriques et d'abstractions lyriques donnent vie aux œuvres de Regina, associées à une pratique quotidienne déterminée et rigoureuse. Plus de deux cents œuvres – sculptures, mobiles, dessins, maquettes en papier et carnets de notes – structuent un parcours qui se déploie à travers les thèmes, les époques, les relations avec les mouvements d'avant-garde et les événements biographiques, de l'époque fasciste aux années de prospérité de l'après-guerre. Avec des essais de Christine Macel, Lorenzo Giusti, Chiara Gatti, Paolo Campiglio, Paolo Sacchini, et un projet photographique de Delfino Sisto Legnani.

Besides his work as a painter, designer, and prolific writer of picture books, the Italian artist Bruno Munari (1907–1998) devoted himself to children’s art education.

Résumé:
To study Gio Ponti’s prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti’s rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy’s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti’s work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life’s work. Materializing Ponti’s core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.

Best known for New York’s Central Park luminaires (1982), the ornamentation at Rice University’s Baker Hall in Houston (1997), and his work on Yale University’s Bass Library entrance pavilion and Sterling Memorial Library stairwell entrance (2007), the sculptor Kent Bloomer (b. 1935) has not only influenced the discussion around ornament in contemporary architectural practice, but has inspired developments in a range of disciplines that include history, music, art, philosophy, and biology. With a retrospective look at Bloomer’s work as a point of departure, scholars from a variety of different fields explore his contributions to the history of ornament as both a social and an artistic phenomenon.

Résumé:
In ''Victor Papanek: designer for the real world,'' Alison Clarke explores the social design movement through the life of its leading pioneer, the Austrian American designer, theorist, and activist Victor Papanek. Papanek's 1971 best seller, ''Design for the real world: human ecology and social change'' has been translated into twenty-two languages and never fallen out of print. Its politics of social design, anti-corporatism, and environmental sustainability have found renewed pertinence in the twenty-first century and dominate the agendas of design schools today. Drawing extensively on previously unexplored archival sources, Clarke uncovers and contextualizes the movement's controversial origins and contradictions.
