Abstract

Today's visual culture is shaped by a vast wealth of influences from diverse styles, cultures, and eras. Handcrafts including crochet, papercraft, and the design of costumes and masks are being melded with the techniques of more traditional art forms such as installation, sculpture, collage, photography, and illustration. A new visual language is currently being formed out of the skillful and unusual combination of creative styles, as well as the use of an expanded range of materials and techniques. One of the most striking aspects of today's visual culture is its handcrafted quality. The recent work of many creatives is characterized by craftsmanship and an intensive, even laborious exploration of the featured techniques, materials, or styles. High touch is a term used in design theory to describe an accessible, human visuality. The book High Touch is a compilation of current work that is broadening and enriching this definition in a contemporary way. It presents a rich selection of innovative, often handmade design created with the full spectrum of materials and stylistic devices in existence today--all of which also strive to expand this palette of visual possibilities in a meaningful way.

Abstract

Pieter De Bruyne (1931-1987), Pionier van het postmoderne is een exclusieve publicatie van het hele oeuvre (catalogue raisonnée) van meubelontwerper en interieurarchitect Pieter De Bruyne, die 25 jaar geleden overleed. Het werk van De Bruyne wordt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken benaderd. Dit geeft een diverse en nieuwe kijk op het omvattende oeuvre. Dit boek toont de opzienbarende evolutie van een van onze belangrijkste ontwerpers en geeft tegelijk een beeld van het naoorlogse modernisme en de postmoderne jaren in Vlaanderen.Het boek bevat onder meer een biografie, een volledige oeuvrelijst (330 meubels, interieurs en gebouwen), tal van essays van bevoorrechte getuigen, sleutelteksten van De Bruyne zelf en nooit eerder gepubliceerde tekeningen, schetsen en foto’s."Pieter De Bruyne (1931-1987) was een interieurarchitect en meubelontwerpen wiens werk het louter functionele overstijgt. Studiereizen en onderzoek naar de geschiedenis van het meubel resulteerden in de concretisering van de essentie: het meubel en het interieur dat voorbij elke functie ook een verhaal vertelt. Van abstract tot referentieel, van gebruiksmatig tot visueel beeld, elk van zijn ontwerpen doen ons reflecteren dat een object ook subject is: over architectuur, over herinneringen, over geometrie, over het licht, over structuur... en over het leven zelf." (Filosoof Jan Wüst)

Abstract

There never was a time when there was not motion, and never will be a time when there will not be motion. Aristotle Mobility is a challenge that architecture has always had to confront; Aristotle was merely the first to philosophize about it. In the present age of digital nomadism, the art of building, with its traditional focus on immobility in fixed places, finds itself confronted by the temptation to relinquish its characteristic rootedness and to abandon itself to the irresistible pull of mobility. In countless manifestos, avant-garde architects describe how they intend to dissolve buildings and indeed whole cities, create an architecture based on a machine aesthetic that prominently involves mobility, and give their buildings legs or wheels.Notwithstanding the many prophets of doom that see solid, sedentary architecture sacrificed to mobile lifestyles, architects continue to take up the challenge and design portable houses. The results are often both practical and innovative, as is demonstrated on the more than 800 pages of this new title in the Construction and Design Manual series, in which 43 international design teams present works ranging from architectural follies to handicapped accessible furnishings and life-saving shelters.
