Among them, Vera and Ruedi Baur have selected the wittiest questions for the publication. They scrutinize different facets of design which are currently relevant in diverse fields, such as the natural sciences and society as a whole. The book documents the typographical wall with various photographs. All selected questions are reproduced in their original language. A text explains the idea and the realization of the project.
