For over two centuries, public space has been gradually adjusted to meet the needs of a rapidly growing traffic. Thanks to the mass-motorization of the 50's and 70's in the US respectively Europe and the subsequent development of private mobility, less visionary Traffic Design quickly generated an ugly and alienated architecture. The needed infrastructure had to be built quick and, what was more important, it had to be cheap. In the name of the automobile, the urban space and plenty of landscapes were sacrificed: A threat to man and nature. The change came during the 90's-thanks to a shift in thinking that led to a different appreciation of nature and life quality. Buildings of all kinds-bridges, tunnels, parking garages, drive-throughs and service stations-slowly achieve the potential to become favorite landmarks. They reflect the automobile lifestyle perfectly and secure a new quality of living, especially in urban zones. This is good, since everybody spends more of his lifetime in those public spaces than within its own four walls. Therefore, it is important and necessary to support this new paradigmatic way of thinking. This is effectively fostered by the car maker Renault, who in 2000 launched in Germany the «Renault Traffic Design Award». The competition credits not only completed projects, but also visionary concepts by students that demonstrate a inherent better quality. Looking at projects that have been awarded over the last six years, one notices a consistent increase in design quality. Individual traffic as much as the number of circulating automobiles being due to increase further in the next decades, the importance of good Traffic Design becomes more important every day-and not only in Germany — it seemed to make sense to gather various extraordinary projects from all over the world in one book, as a source of inspiration for designers, consumers and clients. As a whole, the projects not only show different cultural approaches to design, but also show the differing needs of different people, companies and their brands-this all in spite of ongoing globalization. But no matter how different they are, it is always important to plan ahead. Not just because most existing structures cannot fulfill the growing need for mobility, but also because new technologies and materials finally allow for more functional and-even more important-esthetical solutions to be implemented. A new way of thinking and approaching Traffic Design issues is badly needed and appropriate. After all, everyone everyday is confronted with this problem, not only car drivers.

Fire has accompanied man since the dawn of civilization. Until the appearance of modern heating systems, chimneys have been present in most homes, regardless of social status. From humble kitchen fireplaces, to the magnificent chimneys of palaces, this feature has developed at the hands of architects and industrial designers. Over the course of time designers have managed to optimise the heat and energy generated, and to avoid problems such as smoke and smells. However, heating the home is no longer the sole aim of chimneys and heaters. They create cosy, warm atmospheres, allowing us to enjoy the magnetism of their flames. The following pages present designs of both wood and gas fuelled chimneys and heaters, made from a variety of materials and original designs.

Non Intentional Design

Non Intentional Design (NID) is a term we have invented and which has not yet entered everyday linguistic use. (Perhaps this will change following publication of this book.) NID refers to the day-to-day redefining of the defined. NID deals with norms which are «abnormally» transformed — every day, everywhere, by everyone. It is about the use and the exploitation of objects already designed: the chair (also) becomes a coat stand, a surface to put things on, a ladder or — for example by piling books on the seat — a child's chair; staples are suitable for cleaning fingernails and for removing CDs from the computer; magnets on the fridge turn it into a notice board; steps are not just there to overcome differences in height, but also serve as seats and ramps for skaters; jam jars accommodate pens and Biros; cardboard boxes metamorphose into storage containers, a dirt track provides a shortcut... — the possibilities are endless. Look at your own living room, kitchen or desk from this perspective: you are no exception — you are also an NID person just like the rest of us. Non Intentional Design lends apparently unambiguous objects a polymorphism, implies transformation combined with clever invention and novel functions. NID is created out of necessity, convenience and play. It is frequently reversible and sometimes the product will be given a definite new application. NID does not want to design anything; no new design is being created here. It simply uses, converts, and generates something new or replaces something old as a result. NID could spare us much expense and trouble and could open design professionals' eyes to a more sensitive perception of their clients' requirements. The cultural diversity of the otherwise mainly globally organized and available world of products proves itself in usage only. It is high time to recognize the purely everyday, though exciting reinvention of all objects: because NID re-empowers people by returning to them their confidence and autonomous use of the object world.

The woman, encased instead reservation in Atlas, silk, leather and lace, has a truly irresistible force.

Archi-Tectonics: Winka Dubbeldam

With her progressive architectural office Archi-Tectonics, Winka Dubbeldam has advanced to the very top of the New York architecture scene. Her innovative projects are grounded within the context of urban planning, society and technology and attest to a unique interplay of materials and methods. This monograph presents an impressive overview of the projects that have endowed her with international prestige. Language — English, German. Монография одного из самых прогрессивных архитекторов современности, Винки Даббельдам, представляет впечатляющий обзор проектов, которые принесли своей создательнице международное признание. Эмигранты из Европы в течение десятилетий меняли облик современной американской архитектуры. Винка Даббельдам безусловно входит в этот список выдающихся деятелей. Не ограничивая себя размерами, работая и над нью-йоркскими небоскребами, и над деревенскими домиками, Даббельдам зарекомендовала себя как одну из наиболее провокационных фигур в сфере объединения функции и формы, технологии и удобства, города и дома. Ее метод основан на том, чтобы вскрыть противоречия устоявшихся структур, раздвинуть границы архитектуры и найти неизвестные ранее формы для пространства и зданий. Ее идеи фантастичны и требуют глубоких изысканий, исследований и экспериментов. Основанная на передовых технологиях студия-лаборатория «Archi-Tectonics» выдвигает Даббельдам на первые позиции в мире современной архитектуры и даже позволяет заглянуть в будущее. Невероятные футуристические модели архитектора, представляющие собой искусственные острова — особые экономические и развлекательные зоны, соединенные друг с другом «умными» водными автострадами, – показывают нам то, как может выглядеть наше будущее. Данная монография представляет наиболее значительные проекты Даббельдам, которые помогут читателям проникнуть в самую суть ее необычного подхода к архитектуре. Здесь вы найдете, к примеру, фасад 12-тиэтажного хранилища в районе нью-йоркского Сохо. Закованное в стекло здание производит неуловимое впечатление водопада и гармонирует с улицей и соседними домами, не теряя при этом своего очарования как произведение искусства. Академия в Монровии построена исходя из экологических и социологических соображений и задумана как похожий на деревню ансамбль зданий, который удовлетворяет общинным, экологическим и экономическим требованиям. Причем подобный ансамбль вполне мог бы находиться в Манхэттене. «Archi-Tectonics» исследует более 20 проектов архитектора, включая такие поразительные как выставка «From HardWare to SoftForm», «Aida Hair Salon» и «Gipsy Trail Residence».

BRIGHT! Typography between Illustration and Art

Bright! illuminates typography, which for many artists is loaded with creative potential. How much power of expression is contained in a letter, a word, or a sentence, when these entities, which are very communicative in character to begin with, are presented as images and objects? How does typographical information respond to its environment, to graphic complements, abstraction, or visual reversal? Under the curatorship of Slanted (Weblog & Magazine), Bright! presents a unique collection of extraordinary typography-art. Including works of more than 200 artists, such as: Olaf Breuning, Elm-green & Dragset, Fischli & Weiss, Gilbert & George, Brigitte Kowanz, Ferdinand Kriwet, Barbara Kruger, Glenn Ligon, Michel Majerus, Maurizio Nannucci, Clunie Reid, Ugo Rondinone, Allen Ruppersberg, Ed Rusha, Aurel Schmidt, Steven Shearer, Paul Thek, Christopher Wool, Wayne White and many more. Includes conversations with: Marc Bijl, Tracey Emin, Ed Fella, Alex Hanimann, Tobias Rehberger, MarK Titchner, Lawrence Weiner.

Think Dutch! does not make any fundamental distinction between design and architecture. The book groups together the work of the young creative generation into 16 chapters with titles such as «Build on Water», «Celebrate Food», «Don't Create for Eternity» or «Get Educated». It poses thought-provoking questions such as: «Does this design yield new insight?», «When does it make sense to use bio-degradable materials in architecture»? and «How can we establish self-sufficient food chains»? It is this critical approach to creative work that has become integral to Dutch architecture and design in recent decades. This book presents 476 diverse architectural and design projects and products, devised by some of the most creative contemporary minds in this field; all provide positive proof of cutting-edge thinking, and investment in sustainable futures, exciting ideas that are inspirational, leading the way towards a brighter future. Text in English and German.

After the success of Or Glory 21st Century Rockers, acclaimed photographer Horst A. Friedrichs captures the spirit of The Rockers Jacket in modern times. First coming into its own as a symbol of youth rebellion in the 50s, the Leather jacket continues to fascinate as much for its beauty as its mythology. The leather jacket belongs to that select group of garments that can be described as iconic. No other western garment has been individualized that much, expressing the soul of who it belongs. The book features new exclusive pictures from the Lewis leathers vintage jacket collection. Iconic leather jackets never seen before, but also showing the contemporary replicas by Lewis Leathers.

Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni cultivates the art of understatement. Although one of Italy's most successful designers, he is barely present in the media. Nonetheless, within the haute volee of international design there is hardly a company on which Piero Lissoni has not left his mark. So far he is known more for his furniture design rather than his architecture. He is often thought of as a minimalist, but in reality Piero Lissoni's aim is to create a complementary cohabitation of different styles. His highest goal is simplicity: as a way of thinking, as an attitude, simplicity holds a great inner complexity. For Piero Lissoni it is always imperative to scale down and get to the bottom of things. In the metropolis of design an architect automatically also works as both designer and graphic artist. So far the name Piero Lissoni has been more often connected with his furniture than with his architecture. Committed to the humanist idea that one should be productive in different fields, his Milan studio pursues allround design, creating furniture, houses, hotels and yachts, as well as providing artistic direction for prominent furniture companies, for whom, in a process of constant dialogue, Piero Lissoni creates a clear and distinct brand image. A chair is as important to him as a house and the planning of a kitchen as significant as the concept for a building. In his design he tends to merge complex conditions and relationships into holistic yet simple forms. As an architect he understands himself as a specialist for the whole composition. It is his intention not to get lost in detail but to bring the details into context. Great liberality and seductive elegance are the trademarks Piero Lissoni bestows upon luxury labels all over the world. He has played a decisive role in raising kitchen and bath design to cult status. He designs for practicality yet incorporates the ritual of the act. He attunes his design to human criteria and only then begins with the technical implementation. Both his designs and his architecture are «quiet». Sometimes he places a stronger emphasis on dimension, proportion or colour, but most of the time his concepts lean towards the elementary, towards light-and-dark contrasts as well as towards gravity, which is balanced by the usage of less ponderous elements in order to stress light, air and empty space. His graphic designs are bright monochrome and translucent but they can also reveal a dark side. The austere black-and-white creates a neutral basis to which green or orange are added. This synthesis expresses the will to contradict, a fact which plays an important part in Piero Lissoni's character. In many ways his work seems almost schizophrenic: it is simple and yet highly complex.
