Foreword
_
Reduced, straightforward and clear – the new look of niggli
clearly aligns itself with the basic concepts that Arthur Niggli
laid down with Karl Gerstner, creator of the niggli logo,
in 1950. The streamlined design represents the concept
of our publishing program as well. niggli publishes books
on architecture, design and typography. Our publications
address all teachers, students and professionals in these
areas. We aim to produce books with high-quality content
and good design that support and inspire our readers in their
professional life. The high value we place on content is also reflected
in the inspired design and careful production methods
of our products. niggli has always been and continues to be a
name that stands for quality, a quality that we, with your help,
would like to bring to your customers, our readers.
As before, our new releases are grouped into three areas:
Architecture presents a variety of current positions and
concepts, featuring monographs on contemporary architects
and interior designers, Design meanwhile focuses on the field
of furniture design and presents one of the pioneers of Swiss
furniture design – Alfred Altherr junior. A useful tool in form
of a handbook is the monograph by the Berlin-based office
Moniteurs, offering insights into the design of orientation
systems. Our new typography titles not only focus on new
fonts, the 23rd issue of Slanted takes a look at contemporary
design in Switzerland. Switzerland, or more specifically Swiss
architecture, is also the focus of the first issue of archithese in
2014, the annually published Swiss Performance.
Our spring program is packed with outstanding titles that will
surely find an interested audience. We would like to reach out
to our colleagues in bookselling with an offer of intensified
future cooperation to support you in your efforts in selling our
books. Are you interested? Our sales representatives Giovanni
Ravasio and Hans Frieden are happy to advise you, or you can
directly contact Kirstin Meditz at the publishing house.
We hope you will enjoy our new releases and look forward to
our future cooperation.

The monograph Boden Wand Decke – Zur Poesie der Innenarchitektur
by the Zurich-based interior architecture office Gessaga Hindermann
serves as a working tool and a source of inspiration for design professionals.
It consists of two parts complementing each other – an image
volume and a text booklet.
The illustrated volume focuses on the latest design discourse and
presents Gessaga Hindermann projects in a comprehensive image
montage. The picture series also illustrate the working process and
thereby emphasize the core competency of the discipline – the draft,
the design itself.
Six authors discuss the influence and importance of tradition and
convention for the interior design process in the included text booklet.
The essays pick up on central important questions in design: they discuss
the connections between architecture, interior architecture and
scenography as well as aspects of user friendliness and the sociology
of space.
The combination of a documenting image series and discursive text
contributions by experts make this publication an insightful and instructive
compendium that connects theory to practice, thereby offering
a comprehensive depiction of design processes.
With texts by Christina Sonderegger, Alois M. Müller, Jörg Boner,
Sascha Stahl, Peter Schneider, Simon Libsig, Nader Taghavi, Bernadette
Fülscher, Robert und Trix Haussmann and others.

In 2000, Jérôme Gessaga und Christof Hindermann,
two designers and interior architects, founded
the company Gessaga Hindermann GmbH in
Zurich. Their aim is to develop and execute projects
in the area of interior architecture, product
and exhibition design. Their projects are a result
of intensive research into the working processes
and communication cultures of companies.

Having worked for well-known offices such as Gottfried Böhm, Joachim
Schürmann, Auer + Weber and Behnisch & Partner in the past,
wulf architekten have long since developed their very own position.
Inspired by a deliberate openness towards innovation, however, they
constantly challenge this position. Their way of finding solutions, unhindered
by preconceived ideas and concepts, is what the architects
call “identity through search”; this search also means movement and
change. The only, meanwhile important, constant is their humanistic
approach – a distinct focus on people as a starting point for all design
work. This central conviction shows in the sensuous quality and the
variety of the office’s built projects. Their numerous designs for competition
do not only serve to acquire new project commissions, they
have far greater significance: giving shape to new ideas, approaching
new topics, experimenting and testing the boundaries. In texts that establish
connections between central statements of the three partners
and their built projects, the publication Rhythm and Melody offers a
comprehensive insight into the way wulf architekten think and work.
Architecture, as already hinted at by the title, is not understood as an
isolated discipline here, but as part of a multifaceted cultural context.
_
The Stuttgart-based office wulf architekten, founded
in 1987 by Tobias Wulf (*1956), was joined by
Kai Bierich (*1957) and Alexander Vohl (*1961) as
partners in 1996. Among their main works are the
award-winning adidas factory outlet in Herzogenaurach
(2003), the Stuttgart fair grounds (2007)
and the State Revenue Office in Landshut (2011).
Apart from several school buildings, wulf architekten
is currently planning the new building for
the IHK Region Stuttgart as well as the German
Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, located
on the campus of the university hospital in Bonn.

Winterthur has undergone a structural change during the last
decades from an industrial working-class town to an attractive urban
agglomeration. The architectonic face of the city has meanwhile changed
as well.
The building of the Archhöfe played an important part in this,
closing off the station square at its southern end and thereby taking up
an attractive inner-city location. The eye-catching monolithic building
combines shopping center, service sector and residential development
under one tent-shaped roof. This makes the Archhöfe an impressive
example of multifunctional architecture as well as a construction successfully
planned and incorporated into a grown urban surrounding.
The book presents the project in plans and pictures, an essay by architecture
critic Hubertus Adam and further documentations. Its beginnings
date back to a competition in 2003, when BDE Architekten, who
secured the project back then, were still an up-and-coming team. Today,
ten years later, they have grown to be a renowned architectural office.

The works of Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto are of outstanding
importance in contemporary Japanese architecture. His aim is to
always integrate the social aspects of an assignment into his architecture.
The publication How to make a city focuses on Yamamoto’s longstanding
involvement with the topic of the dense city. The book, published
along with the exhibition of the same name at the Architecture
Gallery Lucerne, picks up on several selected newer works of the office
Riken Yamamoto, among them the project The Circle at Zurich Airport.
This project originated from a competition in 2009, which Yamamoto
won despite a large number of international submissions.
The multifunctional building complex, whose inner organisation adapts
medieval city structures in a modern form, is based on Yamamoto’s
research project on the Local Community Area, which is also presented
in the publication. It explores surprising as well as fascinating possibilities
for the aesthetic and sustainable design of dense urban structures.
_
Riken Yamamoto (*1945) founded the architectural
office Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop in
1973. Projects like the Yokohama Public Housing,
the Future University Hakodate or the Yokosuka
Museum of Art have gained international attention.
One of the recurring themes in Yamamoto’s
buildings is the importance of the public space,
the possibility of social interaction. From 2002 to
2007 he was a professor at Kogakuin University
and from 2007 to 2011 he taught at the State University
Yokohama. Since 2011, Yamamoto has been
a partner professor there and also holds a special
chair for graduate studies in the area of constructional
engineering at the University of Nihon.

Apart from the basic questions as to what constitutes a normal city,
this year’s conference focused in more detail on the concept of normal
urban dwellings. This topic once more brought together the different
disciplines concerned with urban development, not to debate and
dissociate their ideological principles but to communally work towards
improving planning and building culture, using concrete examples, and
thus contributing to the discipline of urban design. Architects, urban
planners, engineers, sociologists, politicians, artists, citizens – they
all are involved in the project of the normal urban dwelling and have
answered the following questions, among others:
What standards does the modern city dwelling need to fulfill? What
impact should private inner-city houses have on the public space? How
should they be arranged in the block and towards the street front?
How can the ground level interact with the street or square? What
type of facade facilitates communication between private and public
space? And what type of facade creates cityscapes? Which types and
traditions can we build on, which ones are less suited? What are the
different client concepts available for urban construction today?
Which laws, regulations or norms hinder the construction of normal
city houses nowadays? And what, on the other hand, could benefit
their construction? And finally, what training is required to plan and
build normal urban dwellings?
_
The German Institute for Urban Design at the
University of Technology Dortmund, under the
direction of Prof. Christoph Mäckler, focuses on
the research and teaching of the art of urban construction.
This term encompasses two things: a
focus on the artistic character of urban planning,
the aesthetic design of a city; and the idea that
city planning should combine different aspects,
such as social, economic, ecological, technical
and cultural requirements, in the design of urban
areas.
Authors of this issue (among others):
Prof. Klaus Theo Brenner, Klaus Theo Brenner Stadtarchitektur, Berlin
Prof. Dr. Andrzej Górak, Pro-rector TU Dortmund
Michael Groschek, Minister for building, living, urban develoment
and traffic
Jörg Hartmann, actor
Prof. Dr. Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, ETH Zürich
Prof. Christoph Mäckler, Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Sonne, Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst
Prof. Jörn Walter, Hansestadt Hamburg
This art of uniting a multidisciplinary conception
of the city into one harmonious townscape was
mainly lost with the emergence of the reductionist
idea of a functionalist, sociological and trafficoriented
urban design, but it was still defining the
young urbanism of the early 20th century, which
used the term “art of urban design” for it.
The aim of the Institute of Urban Design is to take
up this thread and tie together the disciplines
of architecture, urban and regional planning,
open space design, traffic management and civil
engineering that have been drifting apart over the
past decades.

Issue 1 / February 2014: Swiss Performance
The yearbook for Swiss architecture
The widely acclaimed Swiss architecture and building quality never runs out of steam in archithese.
For the first issue of 2014, after a year of research and observations, the editors once again collate
outstanding projects that have been built in Switzerland or by Swiss architects abroad in 2013. Between
new finds and the inescapable, archithese retraces the basics of Swiss architecture culture. By
putting a special focus on the works of young offices the review becomes an outlook as well. What
themes and ideas do they bring into the conversation? The review also includes a selection of book
publications, important projects from the field of built heritage conservation and spatial planning as
well as the original purpose of archithese: sharp to-the-point architecture criticism.

Issue 2 / April 2014: Bündnis – Alliance – Association
New forms of organization in the architectural profession
Every man for himself or all for one? The architect – an individualist grown lonely thanks to his
own egomania? The post-individualistic age of sharing and global communication, and the reawakening
of a communal spirit in the new millennium as an alternative to the seemingly unavoidable
corporate structure pose new questions about the organisational structure of the profession. The
evolution of architecture in the first half of the 20th century was defined by alliances, federations and
architectural associations. CIAM and many other groups forged alliances on the basis of common
ideas on design or politics to promote and propagate their respective approaches. Which models do
we have today? And what are we lacking? What is the role of established professional associations
and why are conferences as popular as ever despite growing digital networks? archithese takes a
look at the structures of the architecture discipline.

ISBN 978-3-7212-0897-9

Issue 3 / Juni 2014: Neomanie – Langeweile | Hype – Boredom
What is design and what influences it?
Endless strive for innovation or continuation of the same old. Creative volcano, expression or restraint
and strict order; a maximisation of possibilities or an integration into the cityscape? Autonomous,
canonical profession or free exchange of the disciplines, searching for new impulses?
The discourse surrounding hype and boredom is not simply a question of style, but has been defining
the struggle for architecture and cityscape for centuries. Does mastery also mean virtuosity – or
proportionality – or is it simply camouflage for a lack of ideas? Is neomania – the barely controllable
creativity and obsession with innovation – the driving force of architecture or do boring constructions
prove to be better in the long run?
What is media’s role in all of this? The wheel of topics, themes and names seems to be turning faster
and faster; one-hit wonders seem to have entered the realm of architecture and ever so often themes
and personalities now disappear before any substantial examination is even possible. The “hype”, meaning
artificially induced excitement about topics and protagonists, is not only a fast lane to success; it
also sparks rejection and backlash. What are the costs of media’s simplification for the production and
perception of architecture? Is the “slow” discipline architecture still resilient or do we already start to
think in seasons, summer hits and shooting stars?

Alfred Altherr junior made his mark in the area of modern Swiss
architecture as designer, architect, museum director, lecturer and exhibition
designer. Joan Billing and Samuel Eberli from Design+Design
reviewed and researched the comprehensive estate of this protagonist
of Modernism. They paved the way for a striking publication that puts
Altherr and his work back into the spotlight.
Already in his early years, Altherr was able to realize his first design
for a steel tube lounger at the company Embru in Rüti. He gained
relevant experience during his internship with Le Corbusier and Pierre
Jeanneret in Paris. Altherr played an important part as an advocate of
Swiss living culture He was a co-founder of the award “Die gute Form”
and founder of the first “objective furnishing design advice center” in
Winterthur. His aim was to promote the new lifestyle not only to the
young Swiss but also to the older generation.
This publication shows that design culture is able to consolidate
past and present. With texts by Alfred Altherr, Arthur Rüegg, Michael
Hanak, Susanna Koeberle, Peter Lepel, Claude Lichtenstein and Juho
Nyberg.
_
Design+Design is a platform for the cultivation
of design culture, especially vintage design. They
are based in Baden and regularly host the Vintage
Furniture Salon, which features international
gallery owners. Joan Billing and Samuel Eberli
believe that originals from their different time
periods exude a certain energy and soul.
www.designunddesign.ch
Alfred Altherr junior (1911–1972) initially trained as
an architectural draftsman and attended courses
on carpentry and metalworking. He went to Paris in
1931 to work for Le Corbusier and dedicated himself
to the study of modern and Japanese building
culture. Back in Zurich, he founded his own architectural
office at the age of 24 and started designing
prototype buildings, houses, interior designs
and standardized furniture. He realized multiple
pavilions for the Swiss National Exhibition 1939 and
the “Landi” bank. Later in his career he taught at
the Vocational School of the Arts Zürich, worked as
an editor for Bauen + Wohnen and Werk, acted as
executive director of the Swiss Werkbund, was one
of the founders of “Die gute Form”, director of the
Trade and Crafts Museum Winterthur and founder
of the objective interior design advice center, as
well as director of the Vocational School of the Arts
and the Applied Arts Museum Zürich.

Der Drucker ist ein Beispiel für das geplante

Er enthält einige Komponenten, welche

den Umsatz auf dem Markt konstant zu
halten oder zu steigern. Mittels Zahnrädern
zählt das Gerät mit, wieviele Seiten gedruckt
werden und diese Informationen werden
in unscheinbaren Chips dazu genutzt eine
Auskunft über den Füllstand der Patrone
zu geben. Wie der genaue Füllstand ist, ist
nicht bekannt und so melden die meisten

dieser noch eine Vielzahl an Seiten drucken
könnten. Nach einigen gewechselten
Patronen kommt es zu weiteren Meldungen
über einen verunreinigten oder defekten
Druckkopf. Der dem Gerät eingeschriebene
Todeszeitpunkt ist erreicht. Nach Auskunft
des Service lohnt eine Reparatur nicht, da
bereits für wenige Euros mehr ein neues Gerät
erhältlich ist. So landen täglich technisch

Auf den Geräten warnen grelle Hinweisschilder
vor dem Öffnen des Produktes. Die
Garantie erlischt sobald die erste Schraube
gelöst ist - vorausgesetzt der passende im
Handel schwer erhältliche Spezialschraubenzieher
wurde gefunden. Hersteller haben es
geschafft in uns ein Gefühl zu erzeugen, als

Tools for the Design Revolution.
Design Knowledge for the Future
_
The publication Tools for the Design Revolution shows the position of
current designs at a critical turning point in history and offers practical
guidelines and tools for sustainable design processes. The tools come
in the form of strategies for sustainable design that clear the way to a
social, ecological and ethically sustainable future. Letting go of traditional,
established product and design ideas is getting more and more
important.
In the past, design used to be a service for the industry. In the future,
the tools of design should be in the hands of the public. Terms like
“cradle to cradle” or “open source design” stand for a changing understanding
of design processes. Learning from each other, exploring
experimental strategies and mindsets in combination with scientifically
proven methods is the key to change.
Design is more than just giving an appearance to products – it plays
a vital role in changing the appearance of a society fit for the future
as well as in the formulation of sustainable lifestyles based on global
solidarity.
Tools for the Design Revolution invites you to take part in a critical examination
of topics like sustainability and your own consumer culture.

The Institute of Design Research Vienna (IDRV)
was founded 2008 with the goal of making an
independent, academically influenced contribution
to the establishment of the new field of design
studies. As a non-profit scientific organization, the
IDRV was created to foster interdisciplinary and
disciplinary discussions on concrete issues of the
worldwide design community, especially regarding
the areas of ecologically and socially sustainable
design as well as design history and teaching.

1 : 1 – Signage, Orientation, Identity is a special book. It not only describes
the projects of the last ten years and the way of working of the
communications design company Moniteurs, but the projects are also
graphically brought into focus: in this way the book shows Moniteurs’
orientation systems on a 1:1 scale. The concepts of individual projects
are presented in short, concise texts with many photographs and infographics,
while an interview with the three owners of the company,
Heike Nehl, Sibylle Schlaich and Isolde Frey, gives an insight into their
approach.

Typography and Graphic Design
_
The Alps, chocolate, democracy and graphic design – Switzerland is
known for reliability, quality and perfection, whether in the form of Emmental
cheese or a Swatch precision watch. Manifesting in the history
books of the western design hemisphere as the epitome of straightforwardness
and an objective design vocabulary, the paradigms of “Swiss
Style” still govern the creative sector today.
For over fifty years, these laid-down rules have been universally
accepted. But how is this prestigious heritage applied by designers
today? Where and when do they emancipate themselves and what is
the face of Swiss Style beyond the legacy of its founding fathers Emil
Ruder, Armin Hoffmann and Josef Müller-Brockmann?
On 320 pages, SLANTED takes a look at contemporary design
between tradition, transgression and progressivity, and presents Swiss
(graphic) design and typography by local design professionals.
The issue also presents works from neighboring disciplines like illustration,
photography and art in the context of contemporary creative
work in general; comprehensive studio portraits and interviews offer
insights into the work of newcomers and icons of Swiss graphic design.

Positions and Perspectives
_
Neue Schriften. New Typefaces. offers insight into the fascinating
world of type design. Positions in contemporary type design are presented
in words and pictures: key protagonists offer insights into their
thinking and working, take a position on current developments under
the new technical, aesthetic and socio-political conditions.
While in the 1970s just a few hundred new typefaces were published,
today we can choose from tens of thousands of fonts — with an
upward tendency. This publication, however, shows that current type
design is not subject to randomness or a fashionable hype. Seventy different
type designs present an overview of current developments. For
the exhibition Call for Type. New Fonts. New Typefaces. at the Gutenberg
Museum in Mainz, twenty typefaces were chosen and expanded
on in very personal reflections by their designers, which take the
form of interviews in the book. From the rich international cosmos of
typefaces, the book presents experimental type designs, based either
on a spontaneous idea or the concept of an individually chosen design
project; there are display fonts with a small range of styles or typefaces
for books with large type families, which, often over a number of
years, were developed systematically with passion, endurance and an
unswerving attention to characteristic detail.
Therefore this publication not only documents a high professionalism,
but also a great and passionate enthusiasm as the driving force of
today’s type designers.

Hohe Türme haben nicht nur aufgrund der biblischen Vorlage
des Turmbaus zu Babel einen kulturellen Hintergrund, sondern
gelten auch als Sinnbild für die Überwindung der Schwerkraft,
als Zeichen der Herrschaft über den Raum und damit
auch oft über die Menschen im Umkreis. In diesem Kontext ist
der ursprüngliche Widerstand gegen den Eiffelturm als ein
besonders herausragendes Beispiel der beherrschenden Macht
von technischen Türmen zu sehen.

Auslöser für die Entwicklung der Schrift war ein Gestaltungswettbewerb
für eine neue Signaletik des
Eiffelturms in Paris, zu dem Intégral Ruedi Baur
Paris eingeladen war.
Die Schrift sollte für zwei sehr unterschiedliche
Einsatzbereiche konzipiert werden. Eine große
Display-Variante für die Beschriftung und eine
Text-Variante für die Drucksachen. Während der Recherchen
wurde schnell klar, dass es nicht die Form
des Turmes, sondern dessen Strukturelemente
sind, welche einen interessanten Ausgangspunkt
für die Schriftgestaltung bilden. Charakteristisch für
die Struktur sind das Quadrat, das Doppelquadrat
und eine Reihe von Verstrebungen mit verschiedenen
Winkeln. Diese geometrische Formensprache
war das Ausgangsmaterial für den Konstruktionsund
Entwurfsprozess.
The trigger for the development of this font was a
design competition for a new Signality of the Eiffel
Tower in Paris, to which Intégral Ruedi Baur

was invited. The typeface was required to serve
two very different purposes: a large display variant
for signs, and a text variant for printed matter.
During research it quickly became evident
that it is less the shape of the tower as such, but
rather its structure elements which offered an interesting
starting point for the type design. The
characteristics of the structure are the square,
the double square and a series of struts at different
angles. This geometric form language was the
starting point for the construction and design
process.

How are fonts made? And why do we need new fonts at all? Why
are some fonts good, others bad? How do you use type? And what are
the basic things you need to know about good type design?
The book schriftgestalten (designing type) answers these and similar
questions by presenting works, drafts and experiments by influential
typographers and type designers. The variety of letters and the different
approaches to their work become apparent in these examples.
Some of them even personally comment on their work methods from
drawing the first sketches to applying a font in practice. schriftgestalten
offers inspiration and exclusive insights and takes you on a journey
through the vast field of typography.
