Résumé:
Bar, surface, body, and space are the fundamental elements of the design process. Every form, however complex, may be understood as a variation of them. And underlying every concrete design is a design methodology that can be analyzed, taught, and learned as a transformation of these four categories. Taking this theory as its starting point, this book is nothing less(...)

Résumé:
Bar, surface, body, and space are the fundamental elements of the design process. Every form, however complex, may be understood as a variation of them. And underlying every concrete design is a design methodology that can be analyzed, taught, and learned as a transformation of these four categories. Taking this theory as its starting point, this book is nothing less than a foundational work for architects, designers, and lay people with an interest in cultural history. It details what could be called the unrivaled grammar of design. With a systematic aim and progressively increasing complexity, it unfolds the creative potential of these categories with succinct texts, uniform drawings, and a broad array of examples from architecture, design, and art. However, the book also occupies an exceptional position as a physical book: the layout makes it especially easy to compare and combine different design steps, and the separate binding of individual groups of pages makes doing so even easier. The result is a kind of construction set that invites the reader to play as well as research.

Les Americains contained Frank's 83 photographs in the same sequence as all subsequent editions, with the image on the right hand page, but juxtaposed with historical texts about American society and politics, gathered by Alain Bosquet. The following year, in the first American edition, the French texts were removed and an introduction by Jack Kerouac was added. Over the subsequent 50 years, The Americans has been republished in many editions, in numerous languages, with a variety of cover designs, and even in a range of sizes. It is the most famous photography book ever published, and it changed the face of the medium forever. Robert Frank discussed with his publisher, Gerhard Steidl, the idea of producing a new edition using modernscanning and the finest tritone printing. The starting point was to bring original prints from New York to Gottingen, Germany, where Steidl is based. In July 2007, Frank visited Gottingen. A new format for the book was worked out and new typography selected. A new cover was designed and Frank chose the book cloth, foil for embossing, and the endpaper. Most significantly, as he has done for every edition of The Americans, Frank changed the cropping of many of the photographs, usually including more information. Two images were changed completely from the original 1958 and 1959 editions.

Résumé:
The term 'style' has fallen spectacularly out of fashion in architectural circles. Once a conceptual key to understanding architecture’s inner workings, today style seems to be associated with superficiality, formalism, and obsolete periodization. But how did style—once defined by German sociologist Georg Simmel as a place where one is 'no longer alone'—in architecture actually work? How was it used and what did it mean? In ''Style and solitude,'' Mari Hvattum seeks to understand the apparent death of style, returning to its birthplace in the late eighteenth century, and charting how it grew to influence modern architectural discourse and practice. As Hvattum explains, German thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth century offered competing ideas of what style was and how it should be applied in architecture. From Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s thoughtful eclecticism to King Maximilian II’s attempt to capture the zeitgeist in an architectural competition, style was at the center of fascinating experiments and furious disputes. Starting with Johann Joachim Winckelmann’s invention of the period style and ending a century later with Gottfried Semper’s generative theory of style, Hvattum explores critical debates that are still ongoing today.

Résumé:
This new flexi edition of an architectural and historical journey across the world's greatest bridges explains why these structures continue to fascinate us as examples of engineering genius and artistic vision. Whether they span rivers or harbors, cultures or countries, bridges have long been a symbol of man's ingenuity and perseverance. Starting with ancient bridges built by the Mongol and Roman Empires through today's most striking examples of bridges, this book examines the world's most important bridges and the history, legends, and people behind them. Two-page spreads filled with photographs, plans, drawings, and informative texts deepen readers' appreciation of the science and technology of bridge-building. The book also introduces historic events in which bridges have played a central role, profiles the figures who commissioned and built the bridges, and offers reexaminations of some of the world's most familiar bridges. From the glory of the Golden Gate bridge through the imposing presence of London's Tower Bridge to the grandeur of the Millau Viaduct in France, "Bridges that changed the world" is a celebration of our steadfast desire to connect with and discover the world around us.

Now readers can enjoy a chronological cross-section of essays, polemics, and reviews drawn from more than three decades of Banham's writings. The volume, which includes discussions of Italian Futurism, Adolf Loos, Paul Scheerbart, and the Bauhaus as well as explorations of contemporary architecture by Frank Gehry, James Stirling, and Norman Foster, conveys the full range of Banham's belief in industrial and technological development as the motor of architectural evolution. Banham's interests and passions ranged from architecture and the culture of pop art to urban and industrial design. In brilliant analyses of automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and the American predilection for gadgets, he anticipated many of the preoccupations of contemporary cultural studies. Los Angeles, the city that Banham commemorated in a book and a film, receives extensive attention in essays on the Santa Monica Pier, the Getty Museum, Forest Lawn cemetery, and the ubiquitous freeway system. Eminently readable, provocative, and entertaining, this book is certain to consolidate Banham's reputation among architects and students of contemporary culture. For those acquainted with his writing, it offers welcome surprises as well as familiar delights. For those encountering Banham for the first time, it comprises the perfect introduction.

Résumé:
In Nachbau, the Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling delves into the presentation of art in shifting historical and architectural contexts. His starting point is the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, one of the first to specialize in Modern art, founded at the beginning of the last century. In 1937, some 1,400 works from its collection--including pieces by artists such as Matisse and CEzanne--were declared ""degenerate"" and locked away by the Nazi government. The museum itself was destroyed in 1944 and 1945, rebuilt after the war, and is now about to be partially demolished once again in the course of renovations. Working in the museum's confines, using four photographs of its galleries taken between 1929 and 1944 by Albert Renger-Patzsch, (a key photographer in the ""Neue Sachlichkeit,"" or ""New Objectivity""), Starling reconstructs that era's art placement and surroundings in a detailed, film set-like installation, bringing this charged historical background forward into the present. This two-volume artist's book on the project documents and elaborates on the installation and ideas it explores: the continuities, transformations and alterations that the artist shows shaping art and history. Simon Starling, born in Surrey in 1967, lives and works in Glasgow.

Résumé:
Exhibitions, platform events and publications track graphic design and boost its development. They enable designers and enthusiasts to keep tabs on recent experiments in the discipline and to appreciate the work of its stellar exponents. Indeed the public at large is starting to acquire an affinity and a feel for this strand of graphic culture. Tapping this trend, graphic design is still an applied art with the ability to cross over into other creative approaches and other cultures. British pop culture and musical genres are good examples of this. Vaughan Oliver is one of the graphic designers to have been spotted and then elevated to stardom for their work with a label, band or publication. Yet the picking-out of an individual style or attitude must not let us forget, and must not mask, the fact that the quality of such graphic output stems primarily from its complementarity with its subject. For Blue Note or 4AD, beautiful sleeves weren’t vital; the music and editorial project took pride of place. A lesser talent of the designers behind the artwork was to grasp this state of affairs and act accordingly. Peer recognition is relatively secondary, though it has the merit of underscoring excellence – and, even better, the exacting quest for the finest possible result.

Yet the picking-out of an individual style or attitude must not let us forget, and must not mask, the fact that the quality of such graphic output stems primarily from its complementarity with its subject. For Blue Note or 4AD, beautiful sleeves weren’t vital; the music and editorial project took pride of place. A lesser talent of the designers behind the artwork was to grasp this state of affairs and act accordingly. Peer recognition is relatively secondary, though it has the merit of underscoring excellence – and, even better, the exacting quest for the finest possible result.

Résumé:
In the spring of 2000, a man in Oregon hid a box of toys in the woods, posted the geographic coordinates of its location on a Web site, and issued a challenge for others to find it. People used their GPS receivers to find his treasure, and a new game was born. Today over a million people worldwide participate in geocaching, hiding stashes of trinkets in a variety of locations - from a grove of trees to a cliff ledge to the depths of a riverbed - and then inviting others to find them, leave a note, and swap a treasure of their own. In "Local Treasures" Margot Anne Kelley offers one of the first books on "geocaching," exploring what compels ordinary people across the world to take part in these extraordinary treasure hunts. Kelley traveled throughout the U.S. to chronicle the sites and stories of geocaching adventures, from the rocky coasts of Maine to the deserts surrounding Las Vegas to the starting point of the Mason-Dixon Line. Each full-color photograph exposes a vision of America quite unlike that presented in a traditional guidebook : truly off the beaten path, these are non-idealized landscapes, often places with special meaning for the players alone. Kelley's accompanying writings explore the world of geocaching communities, their rare ability to integrate new technologies with the natural world, and their complex and often ambivalent relationships to the surveillance technologies that sustain the game. Kelley's text is an examination of a new and creative diversion emerging from the intersection of the virtual world with the real. With a foreword by Frank Gohlke.
