Grand Hotel
Redesigning Modern Life
From the utilitarian inns that
punctuated ancient trade routes to
the worldwide network of Hilton and
Hyatt, the hotel has transitioned
from a marginal building type to a
cultural phenomenon within the
global economy. Terms like
"boutique" and "lifestyle" have
become ubiquitous buzzwords in the
vocabulary of the hotel, and they
engender a new vision of an
affective and responsive spatial
environment.

Pride and Glory
The Rockers' Jacket
Photography: Horst A. Friedrichs
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.

Bright!
Typography Between
Illustration and Art
Typography 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 put on
stage as images and objects? How
does typographical information
respond to its environment, to
graphic complements, abstraction,
or visual reversal? Under the
curatorship of Slanted, "bright!"
presents a collection of pictorial
typo-art, focusing on moving ahead.
