Résumé:
''U-Joints – A taxonomy of connections'' looks at human history through its details, and invites us to see design and architecture in new ways. Comprehensive and interdisciplinary, U-JOINTS is a collective project that brings together the voices and viewpoints of more than 120 authors. Together they “tell” design and architecture in the form of stories, essays, interviews, statements, visits to factories, reportage, facts and figures and, not least, a vast taxonomy of joints. Photo portfolios examine how joints are produced, illustrate their diverse uses, or simply show the inherent yet often overlooked beauty of connections in the man-made world.

Résumé:
This book examines Dutch commemorative coins which will continue to be minted, despite the introduction of the Euro. In a lyrical article, Gert Staal explores the sentimental and symbolical significance of coins. The results of a workshop ‘Design by the mm3’, in which eleven artist/designers took part, is discussed in an article by Lilet Breddels and presented in numerous illustrations. Gerard Unger subverts his own specialization in typography by arguing that artists are perfectly capable of creating their own lettering for coin designs. Hans Jacobi, keeper of the Koninklijke Penningen Kabinet (Royal Coins Cabinet) in Leiden, throws light on the vicissitudes of Dutch coin design during the last twenty years. In an epilogue, Janwillem Schrofer, a member of the Advisory Commission for New Coinage and the president of the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, presents his outlook on the importance of good coin design.

This volume documents MVRDV`s project for the competition for the Musee des Arts et Civilisations in Paris, and includes all aspects of the design: visual as well as written. This book asks such urgent design questions as the meaning of a museum for non-Western art at a time when worldwide mobility is making the ideas of "Western" and "non-Western" meaningless. How does one represent authenticity in this context? Designed by MVRDV, this book allows the reader inside the design process to the original ideas conceived and problems faced by an architect.

Résumé:
Founded in 1987, the design collection of the Museum of Design Zurich now has more than 15,000 exhibits, 20,000 examples of packaging and the Archive for Swiss Design and is the first and most comprehensive of its type in Switzerland. "Take away" is the first in a series of publications which presents treasures from the collection on a specific theme. Like the exhibition of the same name, the focus here is the contentious world of items used in mobile food culture: stacking plates, paper cups, pizza boxes, picnic baskets as well as things like mini toothbrushes, folding furniture and much more. This book shows just how much mobile eating shapes our lives, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Not only has it changed what we eat, but also how, where and what we use to eat. Whether fast food, take away, system gastronomy or convenience food.

Résumé:
This publication studies methods for creating flexible looks for public and cultural institutions. The classic logos normally used by companies are the result of a unique process of compression and abstraction. By contrast, flexible looks do not conceal their diverse components of identity in a logo, forming instead a complex family of symbols from them. In the combination of a basic logo and a family of symbols, the look is in a position to represent the fundamentals (the philosophy of the institution, its program) and the specifics (e.g., temporary exhibitions and events). The author describes the effect and potential of looks and offers the criteria that distinguish fully developed, dynamic looks. Case studies of famous designers such as Karl Gerstner and Ruedi Baur enhance the analysis.
