Add to basketNeuware - Fünfzig Perspektiven auf das Buch als gestaltetes Objekt, zusammengestellt von Siri Lee Lindskrog und Amanda-Li Kollberg, dem Duo hinter dem Studio Formal Settings: Aus einer kuratierten Auswahl an Büchern des Hopscotch Reading Room heraus entwickelt - einer konzeptionellen Buchhandlung und einem Veranstaltungsraum in Berlin - konzentriert sich jeder Text auf ein einzelnes Buch und untersucht seine visuellen und haptischen Qualitäten, von Materialien und Layout bis hin zu Einband und Typografie. 'Unser Ziel ist es, die Rolle und das Potenzial von Büchern durch eine Designlinse zu verstehen - und zu erfassen, was sie durch ihre physische Form kommunizieren.'Die Autoreinnen stellen die Feinheiten des Buchdesigns vor und zeigen, wie die Form zur Botschaft werden kann, wie ein Buch Inhalte vermitteln, Haltungen ausdrücken und zugleich als eigenständiges Designobjekt bestehen kann. Sie erforschen und untersuchen jedes Buch als Designobjekt und stellen es in den Kontext der kulturellen Bewegungen, des politischen Klimas und der wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen, unter denen es entstanden ist. Diese Publikation zeigt, wie Buchdesign gemeinsame Sprachen und Kulturen fördern, Raum für den Austausch und die Erforschung von Ideen schaffen und die sozialen und kulturellen Dimensionen des Designs selbst hervorheben kann. Mit einem Nachwort des Designers, Autors und Pädagogen Prem Krishnamurthy, das einen weiteren Rahmen und Einblick in das Projekt bietet.

Insightful texts on book design that explore the visual, tactile, and cultural aspects of books through the perspective of graphic designers
Fifty readings on book design, authored by Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Formal Settings, unfold across the pages of this volume. Drawn from a curated selection of titles in the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room – a conceptual bookshop and event space in Berlin – each text focuses on a single book, examining its visual and tactile qualities, from materials and layout to binding and typography. “Our aim is to understand the role and potential of books through a design lens, mapping what they communicate through their physical form.”
The authors guide readers through the intricacies of book design, showing how form can become message – how a book can serve as a vessel, a statement, and an object of beauty in its own right. They explore and examine each book as a design object, situating it within the cultural movements, political climates, and economic conditions in which it was produced. This publication reveals how book design can foster shared languages and cultures, create space for the exchange and exploration of ideas, and underscore the social and cultural dimensions of design itself.
With an afterword by designer, author, and teacher Prem Krishnamurthy, providing further context and insight into the project.
