Paperback. Condizione: New. The focus of industrial design has shifted away from the simple desire to create a quality mass product and has moved toward emotional design, which seeks to trigger positive emotions and an immediate desire to buy. Is it possible that we stand on the threshold of a new era of B.A.N.G. design, which directly intervenes at the level of bits, atoms, neurons, and genes? These new perspectives and visions for design are the focus of Entry Paradise. The authors of this volume, including Francesca Ferguson, Werner Lippert, Ellen Lupton, and Peter Wippermann present a new guiding model for creative activities from design and architecture to town planning. Together with other prominent philosophers, sociologists, and media theorists, they discuss the design activities of the future and their potential impact on our own conceptions of city, house, landscape, and consumerism.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. When she left RADI designers, which she had cofounded, in 2003, the young French designer Florence DolÃÂ ac decided to develop her own work. Remaining true to her principles, she ventured to produce objects with a distanced attitude colored by humor. Her discourse treats themes as fundamental as our behavior in our familiar domestic surroundings, when doing housework, or in our free time. When we discover her creations we are constantly pushed to question anew how we sit down, eat, walk, lie down: she responds to questions of function and utility with wit and poetry. This monograph presents her work in chronological order with commentaries. The exhibition at mudac (musÃÂ e de design et d arts appliquÃÂ s contemporains) is documented in the book as a photo reportage.Florence DolÃÂ ac was awarded the coveted Prix de la presse pour les Arts et la Culture, the Globes de Cristal, in 2006. Since 2000 she has been teaching at the Ecole cantonale d Art de Lausanne (ECAL).…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The provision of attractive dwellings in Europe's population centers has long been a topic of central concern not only to architects but also to city planners, investors, and municipalities. Redensification and the creation of new residential developments are always accompanied by the question of sustainable approaches. In Alpine areas, such efforts must contend with topographical and structural framework conditions that raise the bar even higher. Living in the Alps presents intelligent ideas and approaches from selected residential developments and construction projects from Europe's eight Alpine countries; it examines not just dwelling itself but also the integration of various functions. New photo essays produced especially for the volume show how the structures in question are actually used. The publication offers planners, architects, cities, and towns encouragement and ideas for pursuing approaches to residential development and housing construction. Wohn Raum Alpen - Living in the Alps is published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name in Kunsthaus Meran ( Merano ), May 15th to September 12th 2010.…
