Modern man in the making

Otto Neurath
- Lars Muller
- 15 Janvier 2024
- 9783037786765
Otto Neurath's famous Modern Man in the Making, first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1939, captures and describes the state of the world in the 1930s by using text and figurative illustrations. From 1925 onwards, Neurath and his team had worked on a new visual language termed "Isotype" (International System of Typographic Picture Education). At a time that saw the rise of new mass media making hitherto unthinkable amounts of information available, Neurath felt the need for a systematic visualization explaining facts, statistic data and comparative numbers in simple ways. The book can be seen as one of the most influential predecessors of today's ever-present infographics. Its mission was to analyze the "fundamental trends in the social, political and economic life of humanity." The topics covered in the book include diverse social issues of the time such as mortality, health, employment, trade, education, mobility, migration and demographics.

Modern Man in the Making shows Neurath's democratic endeavor to make knowledge intelligible and available to all. It is a reminder of graphic art's ability to inform and create context instead of presenting aesthetic qualities only. The book has inspired generations of designers and led to sometimes peculiar imitations and further developments. This pivotal historical picture-text book is made available again as a reprint of the original publication in the series XX The Century of Print - at a time in which new media force designers ever more so to break down complex data into easily comprehensible depictions.

The Doldertal, a small valley in the north of the city of Zurich, is best known in the history of architecture as the residence of Swiss architectural theorist Sigfried Giedion, whose book «Space, Time and Architecture» (1941) is considered a landmark in the historiography of modernity. In 1936, Giedion commissions two houses designed by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer - known as the Doldertal Apartment Houses - which to this day remain among the most important works of Neues Bauen in Switzerland.

Handbook of tyranny

Deutinger Theo
- Lars Muller
- 31 Mars 2023
- 9783037787199
Handbook of Tyranny portrays the routine cruelties of the twenty-first century through a series of detailed non-fictional graphic illustrations. None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence - they reflect the day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe.

Every page of the book questions our current world of walls and fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirror the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe.

The twenty-first century shows a general striving for an ever more regulated and protective society. Yet the scale of authoritarian interventions and their stealth design adds to the growing difficulty of linking cause and effect. Handbook of Tyranny gives a profound insight into the relationship between political power, territoriality and systematic cruelties.

Willy guhl thinking with your hands

Willy Guhl
- Lars Muller
- 20 Décembre 2022
- 9783037787151
As a pioneer of modern design, Willy Guhl created world-famous furniture such as the Eternit garden chair or Europe's first plastic shell chair. In the tradition of modernism and against the traditional Heimatstil, after 1945 he developed a holistic design approach oriented to human beings and their needs; functionality and reduction to the essential characterize his everyday objects. In collaboration with Swiss companies such as Dietiker, Eternit and Aebi, Willy Guhl designed seating furniture, planters and mowing machines.

Willy Guhl's designs, his teaching methods and his image archive bear witness to the innovations of the booming design industry of the post-war period and the changing professional image of the industrial designer. As a teacher and later head of the class for interior and product design at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts from 1941 to 1980, Willy Guhl influenced generations of Swiss designers, including Robert Haussmann, Kurt Thut and Andreas Christen. The trained carpenter and interior designer passed on his design knowledge "hands-on," with illustrative objects, by model making and storytelling.

This first comprehensive monograph illuminates Willy Guhl's legacy in the context of this design and teaching practice as well as current theories of the design discipline. As a thematically structured catalog of works, it offers a complete index of all design projects, and illustrates in sketches, plans and photographs his exploratory working method and his passion for material and technology, which is equally evident in the selection of exemplary student works.

Touch wood : material, architecture, future

Collectif
- Lars Muller
- 15 Novembre 2022
- 9783037786987
Wood is the building material of the 21st century. Understanding the renewable raw material and its potential requires recognizing it in its ecological, technological and cultural-historical contexts. These are explored in the publication and presented with inspiring examples - practical and visionary.

On this basis, the use of wood in architecture appears to be the order of the day, and Switzerland's leading role in wood processing and building aesthetics is demonstrated in an international context. Authors from various disciplines create the content framework in which wood can be experienced sensually and its possibilities and limitations can be discussed. Touch Wood - Material, Architecture, Future is aimed at an engaged audience of experts and laypersons who want to enrich their experi- ences with knowledge and thus become actors in the promotion of wood in architecture. In addition to documenting exemplary buildings in accessible texts and with numerous illustrations, the publi- cation also illuminates the many relationships that connect people with wood as a material.

René Hubert : the man who dressed filmstars and airplanes

Andres Janser
- Lars Muller
- 15 Novembre 2022
- 9783037787007
From the 1920s to the 1960s, Rene Hubert (1895-1976) belonged to the creme de la creme of costume designers. He designed costumes for stars such as Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and Marilyn Monroe in one of her first roles. Shirley Temple danced the hula in the film Curly Top wearing a grass skirt ensemble designed by Hubert; he was especially closely associated with Gloria Swanson, who encouraged him to relocate to Los Angeles when she met him in Paris in 1924. Hubert consented, and soon found himself working with directors Rene Clair, Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger, elevating their stars with his flair for opulent color and elegant lines.

Hubert's international reputation helped him to win commissions in his native Switzerland, most notably for the Swiss National Exhibition in 1939, for Swissair uniforms and aircraft interiors, and for various theaters and textile companies.

This richly illustrated publication compiles sketches, costume photography, stage photos and film stills of Hubert's work. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic reflect on his multifaceted oeuvre at his numerous workplaces in Switzerland, Europe and the US. Excerpts from his unpublished memoirs provide a personal view of his life and the glamor of the era.

Akris : a century in fashion: selbstverstandlich

Collectif
- Lars Muller
- 1 Octobre 2022
- 9783037787076
Selbstverstandlich is the German expression which, in the mind of Albert Kriemler, creative director at AKRIS, best encapsulates the aesthetic ideal that he wishes to accomplish with his fashion designs. For Kriemler, the embodiment of natural modernity is selbstverstandlich, evident in the wearer and also the use and functionality of the clothes.

Taking the collections as waymarks, the book encompasses the entire one hundred years of AKRIS history and its location in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The unsurpassed quality of the fabrics and craftsmanship employed in the creation of Albert Kriemler's art-inspired designs is dedicated to the woman of today and tomorrow. She comes alive in her clothes, and with her body language and presence imbues them with identity. Jessica Iredale describes the uniqueness and forward-looking nature of AKRIS. Iwan Baan, photographer, illuminates with his photo essays the hometown and the inside world of the brand. The meticulous book design confirms the AKRIS mindset: selbstver- standlich, naturally.

Wolfgang Laib : crossing the river

Wolfgang Laib
- Lars Muller
- 1 Mai 2022
- 9783037786963
Wolfgang Laib (born 1950 in Germany) is considered to be one of the most important artists of today. His work is characterized by a profound relationship with nature and a declared belief in simplicity. Eastern philosophies from India have also shaped his life and his artistic practice since the 1970s. The artist continues today to concentrate on just a few cyclical groups of work.

Ever since his journeys to India as a young man, Wolfgang Laib has been inspired by the idea of seeing humans as part of a larger whole. He also follows this way of life in his art: he tracks down the universal, the eternal, and works with natural materials such as pollen, rice, milk or bees wax.

At the Bundner Kunstmuseum, he presents an extensive, room-sized installation made up of thousands of tiny rice mountains. An important foodstuff, rice symbolizes vitality and is fundamental for our earthly existence. The process of creating this work of art is revealed in the book and is related to a conversation between Wolfgang Laib and the internationally renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. With this book, Wolfgang Laib reveals the spiritual dimension of art and leads us directly to the sources of his poetics.

Mobility / society : society seen through the lens of mobilities

Matthijs Van Dijk, Lowie Vermeersch
- Lars Muller
- 15 Octobre 2023
- 9783037787366
The way things flow: exploring the movement of bodies, data and goods.

Mobility shapes society in countless ways. Looking at society from the perspective of mobility reveals that its key moments of development coincide with the removal of obstacles to human flow?in the physical movement of people, goods, ideas, and spoken and written language.
This book explores mobility in various essayistic modes, from visual essays to scientific essay to broad cultural speculations. Mobility | Society addresses, among other topics, energy politics and oil's grip on everyday life; urban transportation policy; the restrictions placed upon differently abled bodies; patterns of data flow; human mobility and Blackness; the politics of speed; concepts of "freedom" in relation to mobility; the appearance and experience of permanence in architectural and other objects; geological movement; and the politics of mobile phones. The design of the book encourages the reader to discover and explore unsuspected relations between mobilities and aspects of our evolving society.

Talking bodies : image, power, impact

Bettina Richter
- Lars Muller
- 1 Octobre 2023
- 9783037787342
How advertising and art manipulate body-image norms: a visual analysis with strategies for resistance.

Images of bodies operate as powerful signifiers and as cultural determinants. Normative ideas of the body and beauty in particular shape images of the self and the world; they produce bodies that create inequalities and reflect the prevailing relations of power and violence. Which bodies are represented and how? Whose gaze determines them? Which bodies are not shown or only shown in a particular way and in a particular context? Talking Bodies examines mechanisms of representation of the body in media culture?posters and advertisements?from gender stereotypes to images of Black bodies and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies. With its focus on the construction and impact of body images and on possible strategies of resistance, Talking Bodies offers a critical contribution to current debates.

Future cities laboratory : indicia 03

Stephen Cairns
- Lars Muller
- 9 Février 2022
- 9783037786598
This third and final volume in the Indicia book series presents the results of the Future Cities Laboratory research program in the form of "actions" for sustainable city-making. It complements the first and second volumes of the series that respec- tively documented the research challenges and approaches that prefigured these results. Read together, the three volumes chart the full arc and many productive eddies of the five-year programme and its mission to shape sustainable future cities.
Research results are presented as condensed actions that take the form of general principles, recommendations, practical guidelines, and rules of thumb. The actions are neither technical standards nor prescriptive check-lists but invitations to explore, test and refine research insights within the context in which the reader lives, works and acts. The credibility, salience and legitimacy of each action is underpinned by scientific publications (journal articles, books and exhibitions) presented in extensive footnotes and suggestions for further reading.

The new experimenta in heilbronn

Sauerbruch Hutton
- Lars Muller
- 1 Janvier 2023
- 9783037787229
Chronicling the history and construction of a new science center building in Heilbronn.

This slim volume examines the architecture of the new Experimenta Science Center in Heilbronn from three different perspectives. Seen in terms of urban history, this building-designed by Berlin-based firm Sauerbruch Hutton-simultaneously stands as an icon and a tool for change. As a construction, it follows its own experimental path, both in organizational, structural and ecological terms. Finally, the project is the late offspring of a typological family of spiral buildings which stretches from antiquity via the modern movement up to the present. All three perspectives are captured in Florian Heilmeyer's concise and lucid texts and are illustrated by numerous photos and drawings.
