Book excerpt: When spontaneous student protests erupted in Hong Kong on 28 September 2014 as a reaction to proposed changes in the electoral process, the global media was rife with images not only of the protesters themselves, but also the myriad informal structures and designs they had created. Barricades, shelter and sculptures were constructed from everyday objects, the umbrellas that coined the movement?s name were used for protection from police enforcement. The exhibition presents this act of civil disobedience through the objects that were spawned by the movement, illustrating that design not only shapes and defines products, but can function as an agent of change in politics, communication and social innovation. 00Exhibition: Vitra Design Museum, Weil, Germany (12.03.2016-29.01.2017)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the theoretical foundations of the processes of planning and design. When people – alone or in groups – want to solve problems or improve their situation, they make plans. Horst Rittel studied this process of making plans and he developed theories – including his notion of "wicked problems" – that are used in many fields today. From product design, architecture and planning – where Rittel’s work was originally developed – to governmental agencies, business schools and software design, Rittel’s ideas are being used. This book collects previously unavailable work of Rittel’s within the framework of a discussion of Rittel’s theories and philosophical influences.

Download or read book Ferrari written by Lionel Froissart and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 1997 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in the early 1950s, Enzo Ferrari - who was already established as a master car builder - decided to diversify, he set out to find a premier couturier to adorn his cars, creations he likened to the loveliest Italian women. Legend has it that Enzo Ferrari and designer Battista Pininfarina first met midway between their respective places of work, as neither would agree to meeting on the other's territory. Their encounter was to result in some of the most extraordinary sports cars of the twentieth century. It also marked the beginning of the uncontested rule of Ferrari in the automobile world. The marriage of the house of the prancing horse with the Carrozzeria Pininfarina immediately proved a happy and prosperous one. With the introduction of the now-classic 212 Inter (of which only seventeen were produced), the partnership launched what was to become the world's most prestigious and celebrated line of sporting automobiles. Soon came such unforgettable models as the 375 America Berlinetta and the 250 GT Berlinetta - considered by some to be one of the most beautiful cars ever designed - along with an extraordinary suite of Ferrari admirers, from King Leopold of Belgium to Ingrid Bergman (who sat behind the wheel of the 375 America Berlinetta at the 1954 Paris Auto Show). The Ferrari-Pininfarina story is one of constant innovation, mixed with equal parts inspiration and technical expertise, and no small amount of personal drama: the famous Dino, introduced in 1965, was a tribute to Enzo's son Alfredino, who conceived and designed the Dino's V-6 engine from his hospital bed shortly before he died. Today, this heritage of automotive excellence has been passed on to the son's ofBattista and Enzo, whose legacy continues to generate the boldest, most applauded sports cars in the world. Here the story of these extraordinary men, and their new and dynamic vision of the car, is told in photographs, drawings, and drawing-board sketches of the most beautiful Fer

Download or read book Fornasetti written by Barnaba Fornasetti and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elaborate volume, authored by the designer’s son, is a splendid celebration of one of the world’s most inventive design minds. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, Fornasetti was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to be an "artist’s book" that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s own approach to design. Fornasetti’s work is organized by type and includes paintings, sculptures and etchings, furniture, graphics, textiles, glass, screens, trays, and ceramics, as well as smaller categories. With unique and exhaustive access to the archives, this epic undertaking covers detailed technical, biographical, and bibliographical information, including a list of exhibitions and a register of the complete works. A must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Download or read book Yves Saint Laurent written by Roxanne Lowit and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yves Saint Laurent is a name synonymous with style, elegance, and high fashion. When he came on the scene at Dior and then started his own line, he quickly changed the way people regarded haute couture and the world of fashion itself. He revolutionized women’s evening wear when he introduced Le Smoking, a woman’s tuxedo, and made couture accessible to a younger generation. Yves Saint Laurent is Roxanne Lowit’s personal photographic history of Saint Laurent, the man and the fashion, from 1978, the year she first met him, to the last show he gave in 2002. With contributions from YSL’s muses and admirers, including Catherine Deneuve, Betty Catroux, Lucie de la Falaise, Pat Cleveland, and Valerie Steele, this reduced format hardcover represents the backstage experience at YSL’s shows as Lowit saw them herself. Whether surrounded by beautiful models or peeking at the catwalk from the wings, every moment was a magnificent photo opportunity. Lowit shares magical moments of YSL with the world—intimate, social, absorbed in fashion—and creates a unique portrait of this towering figure of postwar couture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how mathematical sequences abound in our natural world in this definitive exploration of the geography of the cosmos You need not be a philosopher or a botanist, and certainly not a mathematician, to enjoy the bounty of the world around us. But is there some sort of order, a pattern, to the things that we see in the sky, on the ground, at the beach? In A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, Michael Schneider, an education writer and computer consultant, combines science, philosophy, art, and common sense to reaffirm what the ancients observed: that a consistent language of geometric design underpins every level of the universe, from atoms to galaxies, cucumbers to cathedrals. Schneider also discusses numerical and geometric symbolism through the ages, and concepts such as periodic renewal and resonance. This book is an education in the world and everything we can't see within it. Contains numerous b&w photos and illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Van Cleef & Arpels saga started with the dynastic marriage of Leon Arpels' daughter Estelle to Alfred Van Cleef. Both the Van Cleefs and the Arpels family were renowned diamond merchants, and Estelle's husband joined up with his brothers-in-law in 1906 in opening up a store at 22 Place Vendome, the epicenter of the jewelry trade. The elegance of their designs and quality of their jewels made the firm an instant success. Since then Van Cleef & Arpels pioneered the minaudiere, a jeweled vanity case for ladies' cosmetics, patented an ingenious invisible setting for stones, and invented the fabled diamond "zip", among other renowned achievements. This lovely, full-color volume is a visual testimony to the success of one of the leading jewelers of modern times.
