Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chronicling the history and construction of a new science center building in HeilbronnThis 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Buckminster Fuller (18951983) was an architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome, and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. For more than five decades, he set forth his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems in numerous essays, which offer an illuminating insight into the intellectual universe of this renaissance man. These texts remain surprisingly topical even today, decades after their initial publication. While Fuller wrote the works in the 1960's and 1970's, they could not be more timely: like desperately needed time-capsules of wisdom for the critical moment he foresaw, and in which we find ourselves. Long out of print, they are now being published again, together with commentary by Jaime Snyder, the grandson of Buckminster Fuller. Designed for a new generation of readers, Snyder prepared these editions with supplementary material providing background on the texts, factual updates, and interpretation of his visionary ideas. Initially published in 1969, and one of Fuller's most popular works, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is a brilliant synthesis of his world view. In this very accessible volume, Fuller investigates the great challenges facing humanity, and the principles for avoiding extinction and exercising our option to make it. How will humanity survive? How does automation influence individualization? How can we utilize our resources more effectively to realize our potential to end poverty in this generation? He questions the concept of specialization, calls for a design revolution of innovation, and offers advice on how to guide spaceship earth toward a sustainable future. And it Came to Pass Not to Stay brings together Buckminster Fuller's lyrical and philosophical best, including seven essays in a form he called his ventilated prose, and as always addressing the current global crisis and his predictions for the future. These essays, including How Little I Know, What I am Trying to Do, Soft Revolution, and Ethics, put the task of ushering in a new era of humanity in the context of always starting with the universe. In rare form, Fuller elegantly weaves the personal, the playful, the simple, and the profound. Utopia or Oblivion is a provocative blueprint for the future. This comprehensive volume is composed of essays derived from the lectures he gave all over the world during the 1960's. Fuller's thesis is that humanity for the first time in its history has the opportunity to create a world where the needs of 100% of humanity are met. This is Fuller in his prime, relaying his urgent message for earthians' critical moment and presenting pioneering solutions which reflect his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does more with less and thereby improves human lives . . . This is what man tends to call utopia. It's a fairly small word, but inadequate to describe the extraordinary new freedom of man in a new relationship to universe - the alternative of which is oblivion. Buckminster Fuller. 7 illustrations Initially published in 1969, and one of Fuller's most popular works, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is a brilliant synthesis of his world view. In this very accessible volume, Fuller investigates the great challenges facing humanity, and the principles for avoiding extinction and "exercising our option to make it."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How a new generation of graphic designers has created fresh visual paradigms for Iranian culture. In the last two decades, Iranian poster design has achieved widespread admiration and distinction for its innovative explorations of type and typography, which have been notably accelerated by the implementation of new digital technologies. As Iran's early graphic designers emphasized illustration, so today's designers accentuate typography, giving rise to a new national visual language. An understanding of the new Iranian design paradigm also requires some familiarity with traditional Iranian art and culture. The posters presented in this latest installment of Lars Mueller Publishers' Poster Collection series have expanded the boundaries of Iranian poster design and showcased the energy, passion and enthusiasm of a new generation of designers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The designers Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa have compiled 204 everyday objects in search of "super normal design": alongside examples of anonymous design like the Swiss Rex vegetable peeler or a simple plastic bag, there are design classics like Marcel Breuer's tubular steel side table, Dieter Ram's 606 shelving system, or Joe Colombo's Optic alarm clock of 1970. With products by Newson, Grcic, the Azumis, and the Bouroullec brothers, it also represents the generation to which Morrison and Fukasawa belong. The phenomenon of the super normal is located, as it were, beyond space and time; the past and present of product design both point to a future that has long since begun. The super normal is already lying exposed before us; it exists in the here and now; it is real and available: we need only open our eyes; Fukasawa and Morrison make it visible for us. 264 illustrations The designers Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa have compiled 204 everyday objects in search of -super normal design-: alongside examples of anonymous design like the Swiss Rex vegetable peeler or a simple plastic bag, there are design classics like Marcel Breuer's tubular steel side table, Dieter Ram's 606 shelving system, or Joe Colombo's Optic alarm clock of 1970.

Following the worldwide success of his Poemotion trilogy, Takahiro Kurashima presents a title that is in no way inferior to the previous ones in terms of surprise and viewing pleasure.

Then an astonishing panorama of unseen moires and patterns unfolds. The artist uses the digital tools for his creations in a virtuoso manner. At the same time he continues to catch up with the great models of kinetic art. Moiremotion is a school of vision and offers contemplative recreation for our eyes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Essential lectures on the art of landscaping from Roberto Burle Marx, described by the New York Times as "the designer most responsible for our utopian impressions of the Brazilian built environment Roberto Burle Marx (190994) remains one of the most important landscape architects in the history of the field, celebrated for his famous curving mosaic walkways at Copacabana Beach in Rio and the beautiful rooftop garden at Banco Safra in Sao Paulo. His distinctive and widely acclaimed work has been featured and referenced in numerous sources, yet few of Burle Marx's own words have been published. This collection of a dozen of Burle Marx's lectures, most of which have never before been available in English, fills that void. Delivered on international speaking tours, they address topics such as Concepts in Landscape Composition, Gardens and Ecology and The Problem of Garden Lighting. Their publication sheds light on Burle Marx's distinctive ethic and aesthetic of landscape, as "the real art in living." The lectures paint a picture of Burle Marx not just as a gardener, artist and botanist, but as a landscape architect whose ambition was to bring radical change to cities and society. Along with Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, the master planners of Brasilia, Burle Marx is the designer most responsible for our utopian impressions of the Brazilian built environment, with its superstructures of swooping concrete ringed by profuse green expanses." Jason Frago, New York Times AUTHOR: Gareth Doherty is Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Roberto Burle Marx was the subject of a huge and critically acclaimed New York Botanical Gardens exhibition last summer. SELLING POINTS: . "Along with Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, the master planners of Brasilia, Burle Marx (19091994) is the designer most responsible for our utopian impressions of the Brazilian built environment, with its superstructures of swooping concrete ringed by profuse green expanses. Burle Marx, Brazil's greatest landscape designer." - New York Times . A reprint of Roberto Burle Marx's assorted lectures.
