Résumé:
Jost Hochuli, typographe, graphiste suisse, livre ici 26 réflexions – une pour chaque lettre de l’alphabet – sur les questions et les personnalités qui ont marqué sa pratique de la typographie. Tour à tour lumineux, déroutant, drôle, tragique, acerbe, critique, érudit… Jost Hochuli profite de la brièveté de la forme de l’abécédaire – jamais plus de deux pages par lettre – et du choix arbitraire des sujets pour raconter une anecdote, faire passer une idée qui lui tient à cœur, lutter aussi bien contre la calligraphie esthétisante que contre le modernisme à tout cran, faire des révélations sur Jan Tschichold et les monstres de l’histoire de la typographie suisse qu’il a côtoyés alors qu’il débutait sa carrière. À plus de 80 ans, il offre ici aux designers graphiques et typographes, jeunes et moins jeunes, un concentré de sagesses et de coups de gueules, appelant son lecteur à faire confiance à l’expérience de leur œil plutôt qu’aux injonctions dogmatiques des écoles. Paradoxalement aussi traditionnaliste qu’anticonformiste, ne s’écartant des sentiers battus que pour mieux revenir aux fondamentaux intemporels de la typographie – la lisibilité avant tout ! –, Jost Hochuli offre une voix puissante à un classicisme moderne stoïque issu de la typographie du livre. Chaque lettre abordée est le prétexte d’une maxime typographique dont la formulation précise et économe laisse penser que l’auteur a écrit ce livre dans le même esprit qu’un dessinateur de caractères réalisant un alphabet : en espérant traverser les époques.

Résumé:
Innovative textile-based artwork exploded across the Canadian Prairies in the second half of the twentieth century. Melding craft traditions with modern and modernist movements in art and theory, a diverse body of creators opened a beautiful new chapter in textile art. "Prairie Interlace" brings together some of the most important scholars of art and craft in Canada to examine the work of forty-eight artists working with textiles from the 1960s to 2000. Recapturing and recording lost histories, this book explores both artists working with textiles and centres of textile study and production, paying special attention to the contexts in which artworks were produced. Indigenous scholars, experts in textile techniques, and experts in Prairie textile history provide fascinating insight into an artistic movement which, until now, has been largely overlooked.

Résumé:
Michiel Schwarz and Joost Elffers declare the dawn of a new cultural era, as we transition from modernity to sustainity - towards a world that is more connected, more localist, more digital and more sustainable. As the authors of this manifesto argue, "sustainism marks a shift not only in thinking and doing but in collective perception - of how we live, do business, feed ourselves, design, travel and communicate, as much as how we deal with nature." In the twentieth century, whether we knew it or not, our world was shaped by modernist values, from the design of our cities to our homes, technologies and our conceptions of progress. Sustainism recasts our relationship to all of these things, binding ecological issues to a larger picture of our world. Through a series of graphically dynamic aphorisms, quotes and symbols designed for worldwide use by businesses, individuals and institutions, to signal support for sustainism, Michiel Schwarz and Joost Elffers show how the movement is already reshaping global culture, technology, food and media. With this concise manifesto, they launch the term sustainism into the public consciousness. The sustainist era has begun.

Résumé:
"The Earth that modernism built" traces the rise of planetary design to an imperialist discourse about the influence of the earthly environment on humanity. Kenny Cupers argues that to understand how the earth became an object of design, we need to radically shift the terms of analysis. Rather than describing how new design ideas and practices traveled and transformed people and places across the globe, this book interrogates the politics of life and earth underpinning this process. It demonstrates how approaches to modern housing, landscape design, and infrastructure planning are indebted to an understanding of planetary and human ecology fueled by settler colonialism and imperial ambition.
