Résumé:
"Legacy: Generations of Creatives in Dialogue" celebrates the legacy of renowned architects, artists and designers that have influenced the creative discourse over the last fifty years and brings them in critical dialogue with a young generation of upcoming influencers in the respective fields. Edited by Lukas Feireiss, the heart of this publication lies at the cross-generational exchange of ideas.

Résumé:
Femke de Vries is an artist/researcher who explores the interaction between clothing (as material objects of use) and fashion (as a process of value production). ''Dictionary Dressings'' is an ongoing research project by de Vries that uses the nature of the dictionary definition as a ''zero condition'' for a piece of clothing in order to decode clothes and explore an alternative fashion vocabulary. To generate inclusive modes of production, the artist brings together designers, researchers and students to explore opportunities. Overlapping and interlinking theory with hands-on making, she pushes beyond trends and accepted social and design codes to offer a fundamental shift in perspective that contributes valuable insights to the broader cultural discourse of fashion.

Résumé:
We are born into blankets. They keep us alive and they cover us in death. We pull and tug on blankets to see us through the night or an illness. They shield us in mourning and witness our most intimate pleasures. Curious, fearless, vulnerable, and critical, "Blanket" interweaves cultural critique with memoir to cast new light on a ubiquitous object. Kara Thompson reveals blankets everywhere--film, art, geology, disasters, battlefields, resistance, home--and transforms an ordinary thing into a vibrant and vital carrier of stories and secrets, an object of inheritance and belonging, a companion to uncover. "Object Lessons" is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic.

Résumé:
What good is design? In a world facing social unrest, political tribalism, and impending ecological doom, Tomás Maldonado poses philosophical inquiries into the role design plays during a moment of crisis and analyzes what “design” might mean as an ever-enlarging compass beyond stylization of specific objects. He discusses how design is both influenced by and central to ecological crisis. Written as a kind of obituary to the Modern movement’s wave of failed “concrete utopias,” Maldonado combines philosophy, sociology, radical countercultural thought, and the ecological sciences into a polemic that recenters design in the human environment.

From the pencil to the puppet to the drone—the humanities and the social sciences continue to ride a wave of interest in material culture and the world of things. How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines? ''Other Things'' explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects—from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers—that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo.
