«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.» |

«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.» |

Leading German corporations as owners of art collections, which, in importance and size, are in no way inferior to those of public museums, has become quite a common phenomenon. The individual endeavors of artloving executives soon turned into a successful example of modern corporate culture. High-profile and professionally cared for corporate collections create a cultural indentity. CORPORATE COLLECTIONS takes a look at these comprehensive corporate collectors' activities in Germany. 70 corporate collections, their approaches, and their focuses are presented in this valuable book of plates. For quick reference, all corporations and their respective locations are listed in an index. CORPORATE COLLECTIONS explores the role of these corporate collections as sponsors of art whose influence so far has gone almost unnoticed. |

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». |

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. |

Broadcast design and television branding bear an important prominence in our world today. Audiovisual design, in terms of content and technology, is fast-paced: the TV landscape faces great changes in distribution channels and different content models. Those changes demand a strict strategic brand development, which should be suitable for the on-air designs as well as for a range of other media channels and merchandising.With Broadcast Design Bjorn Bartholdy introduces the corporate design of ten selected international TV channels like BBC, FOX or arte. It gives examples of on-air design positions, introduces the collaboration between channels and design agencies and features interviews of the channel's representatives. Enclosed is a DVD to show the audiovisual media in their natural environment: on screen. |

56 new projects present the new trends in Lobby Design all over the world. The lobby is a passing place, a transitory space. It is the first point of contact with the place visited from the street. The great challenge for the architect and client is to achieve a space in which the visitor would like to stay. The book is divided into chapters and gives an overview of all kinds of lobbies, such as in public buildings, airports and hotels but as well in private apartment houses. The projects will be presented in alphabetical order of the designers. As far as available plans will be shown. An index of contact information of the designers and architects is enclosed. |

Since streets become increasingly crowded, living on the top of a building promises privacy and distance. Rooftops have become the symbol of a new lifestyle — an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionally unused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into a new area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners have seen in this final section of a building their last chance to let their fantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities' skylines with extensions, attics and unique tops. This volume delivers a very close insight in the divers possibilities of the roof design of residential, corporative and other buildings. About 200 projects present the different types of roofs: Pitched roofs, flat roofs with planting vegetation, roof garden as a pool area or further floor space. An index with the contact dates of the designers is enclosed. |

The entrance to a house acts as its visiting card. Its conception has changed enormously over the years, as has its social uses, and the space that was once considered indispensable for receiving guests and keeping the house from view on first contact — whether out of a desire to preserve privacy or a belief that it was bad taste to put living space on display — has changed to such an extent that it is on the verge of disappearing from many homes. Even in cases where there is no hall, however, its absence constitutes a type of entrance that tells us about the personality of the occupants and the layout of the space. In fact, in many cases the entrance is the axis around which the space is organized and it takes on a far greater importance than is immediately apparent: if the entrance is well planned, the space will be used to greater advantage and the layout of the various areas will follow a logical order; in contrast, a misguided placement results in an erroneous starting point for a residential project. So, we are devoting these 192 pages to solutions for entrances, of various shapes and styles, belonging to different types of homes from all around the world, drawn up by a wide range of architects. |

In this book of Chinese Design, we are pleased to introduce a wide array of different architectural projects, and the various designers, architectural ateliers and developers that have made these works come to light. The distribution of the book has been done in three chapters according to the three main geographical areas — Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong — where most of these projects are located. A fourth chapter covers the architectural projects located in other parts of the Chinese mainland. Like the Great Wall, which with its 2.400 km is the only built structure on earth visible from outer space, China is so huge and profound, that to make an attempt to analyse its design is practically impossible. The basic principle, however, that seemed to influence space design in China was related to a number of different philosophies like Confucianism, Taoism or Fengshui. Although nowadays, in general, people do not really like being bound by ancient tradition, still most of them follow, or at least cannot ignore, that Fengshui laws of space direction or some other philosophies. China's complex, harsh and hazardous history partly explains one of the reasons why many residential houses and buildings look often like solid fortresses, with its inner space clearly separated and differentiated from the outer part of the house. Inside the house compound, the patio serves not only as a source of visual delight, but it is used also for outdoor inner living throughout the various seasons of the year. Finally we would like to introduce a few distinctisyve examples of iconography in China, symbologie that plays a very important role within Chinese design. Colours like red, aside form being the colour of the Chinese national flag, have signified fortune and luck, since ancient times. Visually, sometimes it seems as if every single city of the country lies under the overriding spell of the Chinese character script. China's extraordinary appetite for the new was certainly a powerful driving force for its rapid change. The end product is as somewhat general retrofuristic urban landscape spreading all over its cities. |

In every of the new compact design books are about 25 to 30 projects shown to the particular theme. As far as available, projects are presented with detailed plans. |

London may be known as a city of grey for its persistently cloudy skies, but when it comes to everything else, few cities on the planet can boast such a colorful palette of converging cultures and styles. Inherently vibrant and extraordinarily diverse, it has been one of the most important settlements on the globe for nearly two millennia and still stands today as an international leader in virtually every aspect of a modern society. |
