The book lives—and is stronger than ever! Talk of the crisis of books and their<br />

replacement by digital media is the order of the day—we are all the more<br />

convinced of the inherent qualities of this medium. With our meticulously<br />

produced publications in the areas of architecture, design, photography,<br />

art, and society, we invite you to linger and immerse yourselves. Instead of<br />

superficial efficiency and the rapid transfer of knowledge we aim to provide<br />

space for what is permanent. Space, for instance, for the time needed for<br />

architectural design to mature through a series of sketches—the new t<strong>itle</strong>s<br />

with the drawings of Pritzker Prize winners Wang Shu and Eduardo Souto<br />

de Moura provide evidence of this. In the Encyclopedia of Flowers the reader<br />

grows ever more absorbed while contemplating the cascades of flowers<br />

by Japanese florist and artist Makoto Azuma. With photographs by Iwan Baan,<br />

Torre David documents a “vertical favela” in an unfinished skyscraper in<br />

the center of Caracas. La Malcontenta: 1924–1939 transports us to the first<br />

half of the twentieth century and the bohemian community of the time, which<br />

frequently met at Palladio’s Villa Malcontenta in Venice. These are just a few<br />

examples from our richly varied fall program. As an independent publisher,<br />

thematic relevance and aesthetic coherence represent both a motivation and<br />

a measuring stick.<br />

Encyclopedia of Flowers<br />

Flower Works by Makoto Azuma photographed by Shunsuke Shiinoki<br />

Edited by Kyoko Wada<br />

Design: Kenya Hara<br />

A book for anyone who loves fl owers, photography, or art<br />

The book’s illustrations show more than 2000 fl owers and plants<br />

The book contains an index listing the scientifi c names of all the featured<br />

plants<br />

Flowers have been a universal cultural object for millennia. They are an important<br />

aesthetic element in everyday life worldwide, and have played a highly symbolic role<br />

in art throughout the ages. Over the past few years, Makoto Azuma has created a<br />

furor in the art world with his fl oral installations, in which he creates unusual new<br />

shapes from plants and fl owers and their component parts. Inspired by the Japanese<br />

tradition of ikebana—the art of fl ower arranging—Azuma creates novel and previously<br />

unseen aesthetics by bringing together unusual plants that wouldn’t usually meet in<br />

nature—some of them exotic —in extraordinary arrangements. Shunsuke Shiinoki, who<br />

opened the “haute-couture” fl orists Jardin des Fleurs in Tokyo in 2002 in association<br />

with Makoto Azuma, captured these exceptional fl oral installations in extraordinary<br />

photographs.<br />

MAKOTO AZUMA, born in 1976 in the prefecture of Fukuoka, Japan, is a fl orist<br />

and artist. His plant and fl ower installations have been appearing at prominent art<br />

institutions worldwide since 2005.<br />

SHUNSUKE SHIINOKI, born in 1976, is a fl orist and photographer. In 2002, he and<br />

Torre David<br />

Anarcho Vertical Communities<br />

Edited by Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpner, Urban-Think Tank Chair<br />

of <strong>Architecture</strong> and Urban Design, ETH Zürich<br />

Photographs by Iwan Baan<br />

Documentation of the “vertical favela” in the center of Caracas<br />

Fascinating portrait of a place that shows the contradictions of modern society<br />

as if through a magnifying glass<br />

Torre David is an incomplete skyscraper in the center of the Venezuelan capital<br />

Caracas that has been occupied and reconstructed by local residents. Work on the<br />

building, named after the fi nancial investor David Brillembourg, who died in 1993,<br />

was suspended during the Venezuelan fi nancial crisis of 1994. After the offi ce tower—<br />

the third highest in Venezuela—had stood empty for many years, it was taken over by<br />

the local population in 2008. The occupants made the building their own with<br />

improvisation and skill—it is a “vertical favela,” now containing not just housing but<br />

also other everyday facilities such as an improvised doctor’s offi ce, shops, and more.<br />

Photographer Iwan Baan has documented Torre David and its occupants,<br />

creating a portrait that captures the contradictions of the place while at the same<br />

time revealing urban structures that have emerged dynamically and without planning.<br />

ALFREDO BRILLEMBOURG was born in <strong>New</strong> York in 1961. In 1993 he founded<br />

Urban-Think Tank in Caracas, Venezuela. Since May 2010, Brillembourg holds a chair<br />

in architecture and urban design at the Swiss Institute of Technology, Zürich.<br />

HUBERT KLUMPNER was born in Salzburg in 1965. In 1998 he joined Alfredo<br />

Brillembourg as director of Urban-Think Tank in Caracas. Since 2010, Klumpner holds<br />

a chair in architecture and urban design at the Swiss Institute of Technology, Zürich.<br />

IWAN BAAN, born in Alkmaar, Netherlands, in 1975, is an architecture and documentary<br />

photographer. His photographs feature regularly in such journals as Domus, A+U,<br />

“My typical way, say, of designing a large building<br />

for the campus is that I think about it and<br />

make some small sketches, maybe for two months.<br />

Then—and this is a very typically Chinese way—<br />

one morning I get a feeling that is very clear. I pull out<br />

the paper, and I draw it from this end to that end,<br />

maybe working four hours before I fi nish the design.<br />

Wang Shu<br />

Imagining the House<br />

The only publication by this year’s Pritzker Prize winner<br />

The book offers unique insights into Wang Shu’s design process<br />

The content connects connects with other publications featuring featuring sketches sketches created<br />

by well-known architects (Steven Holl, Eduardo Souto de Moura, etc.) produced<br />

by <strong>Lars</strong> <strong>Müller</strong> <strong>Publishers</strong><br />

Buildings by Chinese architect Wang Shu—this year’s winner of the Pritzker Prize—<br />

feature clear and simple contemporary designs that make use of traditional methods<br />

and materials. The reuse of building materials is characteristic of his buildings.<br />

Shu’s design process always begins with an intense study of the location. The<br />

architect spends as long as possible on the site, absorbing its atmosphere. He then<br />

produces drafts in the form of hand-drawn sketches, creating them in relatively<br />

quick succession. Imagining the House follows this process in various buildings.<br />

Photographic documentation of the locations elucidate Shu’s on-site research.<br />

The reproductions of drawings in this book demonstrate how the designs change<br />

and become more concrete over the course of the process. The book provides<br />

unique insights into the work of an architect who has hitherto received little attention<br />

in Europe, thereby addressing a considerable omission in the publishing world.<br />

WANG SHU was born in 1963 in the province of Xinjiang, China. He founded his<br />

architecture offi ce Amateur <strong>Architecture</strong> Studio in 1997. In 2012, he was awarded<br />

the Pritzker Prize.<br />

Sketchbook No. 76<br />

Facsimile of a sketchbook of Eduardo Souto de Moura, Pritzker Prize<br />

laureate 2011<br />

Inspiration for architects and students interested in the evolution of<br />

architectural design<br />

The t<strong>itle</strong> shows the importance of drawings in the creative process<br />

While Floating Images: Souto de Moura’s Wall Atlas explores the architect’s<br />

visual archive as the basis for his work, Sketchbook No. 76 focuses on his concrete<br />

sketches. The publication is a reproduction of his sketchbook and gives insight<br />

into the architectural design process, which here can be quite literally experienced<br />

and understood. The publication records his fi rst ideas, fl eeting sketches, studies,<br />

and spontaneous jottings that offer a starting point for every project but also function<br />

as a working resource for developing existing ideas further and trying out any number<br />

of variants. Sketchbook No. 76 is a homage to the medium of drawing and makes<br />

it clear that it remains an essential element of the creative process.<br />

EDUARDO SOUTO DE MOURA, born in Porto in 1952, is regarded as one of the most<br />

important contemporary architects. In 2011 he was awarded the Pritzker Prize for<br />

his architectural work.<br />

PEDRO BANDEIRA EVERYTHING IS ARCHITECTURE<br />

tecture firm, but the firm is itself certainly a work of architectural<br />

intelligence. 10 <strong>Architecture</strong> as creative expression, along with other<br />

arts, will always be the result of complex, transdisciplinary, intuitive<br />

processes that imply in their authorial 11 and poetic expression<br />

the healthy confrontation of objectivity and subjectivity, science<br />

and art, rule and exception. And while architecture essentially<br />

persists as a “ specialist in generalities, ” the mixing of images<br />

should come as no surprise — rescued from different origins and<br />

sharing the same place ( the wall ), to build something new and<br />

necessarily beautiful . . . and false.<br />

Various questions immediately arise: Do the images have an<br />

isolated value of their own or does that value derive from their<br />

association? Do they remain linked to their origin, do they keep a<br />

reference, or are they legitimately decontextualized? Do the<br />

images exist on this support due to their content or their superficial<br />

form? Are they sought with specific intent or casually found?<br />

Do they have an ephemeral meaning or do they express a desire<br />

to be forever? Are they a means, a vehicle, or an end? Do they<br />

comprise a whole, comprise an archive? Can they be appropriated?<br />

Are they worth more than a thousand words? Are they<br />

reality or representation? Do they simulate or replace the object?<br />

And above all: how do they relate to the planning and thinking of<br />

architecture?<br />

As unbelievers in a contrasted black-and-white reality ( images<br />

can be all and none of this ), we imagine that background wall as<br />

a vestige of an ambiguous mental map between determinism and<br />

chance, denouncing the same distance we’ll find in the space that<br />

wavers between the architectural plan and the work or between<br />

the built work and its later appropriation or perception. There will<br />

always be an observer who legitimizes the relativism, but under<br />

the t<strong>itle</strong> Eduardo Souto de Moura: Floating Images on Design Process,<br />

we aim to stratify in an illusorily objective manner the images<br />

taken as methodology for thinking out the architecture project.<br />

At a time when architecture seems to be giving way to new<br />

paradigms ( in which the discipline seems to lose its autonomy, in<br />

which regulations seem meant for mindless architects, in which<br />

only specialization seems to legitimize architectural production,<br />

321. Eduardo Souto de Moura, Braga Municipal Stadium, 2000-2004, photography Paulo Catrica.<br />

and in which low-cost competition results in a shortage of time<br />

and quality ), these Floating Images assert themselves as a vestige<br />

of a time and method that will not stop representing a certain<br />

sense of resistance and will consequently also not stop justifying<br />

the exceptional nature of an architect and a work that can only be<br />

copied naively and superficially. This architecture, as Álvaro Siza<br />

says, needs time that’s not there today. However, there is no nostalgia<br />

in this sense of loss. Eduardo Souto de Moura always knew<br />

how to stand against every expectation. He is, when least expected,<br />

unpredictable.<br />

By focusing our attention on images on a wall in order to use<br />

them to legitimize a method, we are consciously withdrawing<br />

from another field of references linked to the word. This risk<br />

( which we hope will be lessened by the written contributions ) is<br />

evident in the precept that generally, the philosophers since Plato<br />

have always seen in the image an inferior form of representation, that<br />

is, an obstacle to thought. Traditional philosophy is dualist: image is<br />

on the side of the material, authentic thought is immaterial. To think,<br />

one has to go beyond images. 12 We can go even farther by stating<br />

that thought is previous to images, previous to the word itself. Even<br />

so, maybe what most appeals to us in the risk of focusing almost<br />

solely on images is precisely the abdication from “Authentic<br />

thought ” ( which in Plato’s Republic was attributed solely to God )<br />

in favor of thought that does not necessarily live from the ant-<br />

Floating Images<br />

Eduardo Souto de Moura’s Wall Atlas<br />

Edited by André Tavares and Pedro Bandeira<br />

Shows Eduardo Souto de Moura’s visual universe and sources of inspiration<br />

A book on the interplay between images and completed buildings<br />

Photographs, newspaper cuttings, postcards, drawings, and slides: on entering the<br />

studio of Eduardo Souto de Moura, winner of the Pritzker Prize 2011, one is confronted<br />

with a variety of images on the walls that engage in a dialogue. How do these photos,<br />

drawings, and illustrations impact his design practice? What is the relationship<br />

between the image and the completed building? Floating Images: Eduardo Souto de<br />

Moura’s Wall Atlas uses this question as an opportunity to examine the architect’s<br />

visual universe. He has added images from his extensive collection of drawings and<br />

project sketches and reorganized them in this atlas. Complex relationships are<br />

formed between the individual illustrations and projects. Essays by Pedro Bandeira,<br />

Eduardo Souto de Moura, Diogo Seixas Lopes, and Philip Ursprung round off the<br />

publication and provide a contextualization in terms of the history of art and images.<br />

ANDRÉ TAVARES, born in 1976, is an architect and runs Dafne Editora, a small<br />

architectural publishing house in Porto. He writes regularly and is the author of<br />

several books on the relation between architectural culture and the public sphere.<br />

PEDRO BANDEIRA, born in 1970, is an architect and teaches at the school of<br />

architecture of the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal. He develops specifi c<br />

architectural projects for a generic client in parallel to his theoretical approach<br />

to issues of photography and the architectural image.<br />

Sou Fujimoto – Sketchbook<br />

Facsimile of a sketchbook by Sou Fujimoto<br />

Insights into the design process of the Japanese architect known for<br />

his unconventional buildings<br />

Thematic links to other publications of sketchbooks (Wang Shu,<br />

Eduardo Eduardo Souto de Moura, Steven Holl)<br />

The works of Sou Fujimoto resist any form of conventional categorization. This young<br />

Japanese architect stands for unconventional buildings that cannot be described<br />

by standard criteria and defi nitions such as inside/outside or public/private.<br />

Clear divisions such as between fl oor levels and rooms are shattered by his complex<br />

ground plans and interlocking structures which—in a reference to the idea of the<br />

cave—he describes as “primitive future.” With this approach he creates forms that<br />

are committed to a playful interaction between user and space. Alongside private<br />

residences, such as the well-known N House, his library for Musashino Art University<br />

has achieved particular recognition. In addition he was represented at the 2010<br />

Venice Biennale with a design for a house.<br />

In his personal sketchbook Sou Fujimoto offers insights into his design process.<br />

Through the sketches, drawings, and notes readers can trace how his complex<br />

concepts are made manifest and develop on paper.<br />

SOU FUJIMOTO, born in Hokkaido, Japan, in 1971, established his architectural practice<br />

Sou Fujimoto Architects in 2000. In 2008, he was World <strong>Architecture</strong> Festival winner<br />

in the Private House category, and was awarded a RIBA International Fellowship<br />

in 2012. Recently he completed the new library and museum for the Musashino Art<br />

University in Tokyo.<br />

In her illuminating book on Louis Kahn, Sarah Williams Goldhagen<br />

summarized how the American architectural community, including<br />

Kahn, reacted to Whyte’s book or to the book Lonely<br />

Crowd by David Riesman6. Tange’s reaction to these propositions<br />

was the opposite; his was an almost Nietzschean affirmation<br />

of the new situation. Unlike other leftist intellectuals, both in<br />

the US and in Japan, he welcomed the megalopolis as a collective<br />

alter-ego of this Organization. Tange’s Organization Man,<br />

who belonged to the new social elite of the dawning era, was<br />

actually unlike Whyte’s, who was listless, lived in the suburbs,<br />

and lacked social aspirations. To continue the Nietzschean metaphor,<br />

Tange’s Organization Man was a ‘superman’ of the information<br />

society. “Tokyo Plan, 1960” is a city for these superman<br />

(fig. 14). For him, the megalopolis was a city transcending the modern<br />

metropolis and the mega-structure was its architectural<br />

form.<br />

height limit and featured an office block, divided into upper and<br />

lower levels, spanning between two vertical cores. Due to the<br />

height limit, however, the proposal failed to convey the impression<br />

of a city in the air composed of bridge-like clusters (fig. 15).<br />

[Translator’s note: I assume ‘height limit,’ refers to the one in effect,<br />

not the newly proposed height limit, though this is ambiguous<br />

in the manuscript I received.]<br />

In February of the same year, Weekly Asahi published an article<br />

on the development of the Marunouchi area, Tokyo’s most prestigious<br />

business center7. The article featured Teiji Ito, a prominent<br />

historian who criticized the strategy of the Mitsubishi-jisho<br />

(Mitsubishi Estate), Japan’s largest developer and a major landowner<br />

in the Marunouchi district. Ito criticized Mitsubishi for not<br />

trying to take on the challenge of new possibilities following<br />

height limit revisions. For the purposes of comparison, Teiji Ito<br />

introduced another “City in the Air” project by his close friend<br />

Arata Isozaki, one which had never been published before its inclusion<br />

in this article (fig.16). Ito later stated that in those days,<br />

Isozaki repeatedly said he was not interested in building anything<br />

below 31 meters. His new project for Marunouchi was designed<br />

only for provocation. Isozaki argued that this project<br />

could be built with minimum destruction of existing structures.<br />

Isozaki’s city in the air was dramatically juxtaposed to Mitsubishi’s<br />

city on the ground, expressing a striking contrast between<br />

the architect’s visions for the future and the vulgar capitalist reality<br />

of the time.<br />

At the same time as the release of his Tokyo Plan 1960, Tange<br />

was commissioned by Hideo Yoshida, the president of Dentsu,<br />

Japan’s largest advertising agency (and later the world’s largest),<br />

to build their headquarters. Tange had already built their<br />

Osaka branch in 1960 and designed the Totsuka Country Club for<br />

Yoshida. Yoshida, known as an avatar of the spirit of the advertising<br />

business, shared the architect’s ambitions for a rising nation.<br />

As head of the advertising agency, Yoshida must have been<br />

greatly impressed by an hour-long television program on Tokyo<br />

Plan 1960 by the National Broadcasting Company. Yoshida insisted<br />

that Dentsu should build a monumental building which<br />

would symbolize the company. The final outcome, eventually<br />

In the same issue, Tange’s second scheme for Dentsu, taller than<br />

completed in 1967, was, however, a rather mediocre one when<br />

the first, was also published, along with his own argument re-<br />

considered among Tange’s buildings from the 1960s and it has<br />

15 Tange; First scheme garding the possibilities presented by changes to building codes,<br />

failed to draw much attention. However, the initial intention was<br />

far more ambitious, in response to the client’s own ambitions.<br />

for Dentsu Headquarter<br />

1961(<br />

which Mitsubishi deliberately ignored to avoid the foreseeable<br />

troublesome procedures(fig.17. An initial Dentsu plan within the<br />

height limit regulation had been a temporary solution; Tange’s<br />

This awkward outcome is related to a dispute over revision of the<br />

team, keeping aware of the situation, waited for implementation<br />

building codes, which had prohibited building anything above 31<br />

of these new regulations, still under review. After it became clear<br />

that the height limit was indeed to be changed, the Dentsu proj-<br />

ect was again revised to a height of 21 stories, fully 100 meters<br />

by Takashi Asada, who had been Tange’s senior partner and<br />

high (fig.18) 8. In order to realize this additional height, Tange pro-<br />

would organize the Metabolist group. In 1963, the building codes<br />

posed that Yoshida appeal to landowners in the neighborhood (<br />

were revised in a limited way, permitting building an extra 30%<br />

Floor Area Ratio, although only in exceptional cases, such as re-<br />

his proposal was accepted enthusiastically.<br />

developments larger than one urban block in size. Tange’s first<br />

<strong>Architecture</strong> for the World<br />

Edited by Seng Kuan and Yukio Lippit<br />

In cooperation with Harvard University Graduate School of Design<br />

<strong>New</strong> research on the work of the 1987 Pritzker Prize laureate<br />

Includes numerous illustrations, including photographic and archival<br />

material such as Tange’s exceptional drawings<br />

Kenzo Tange (1913–2005) is a peerless fi gure among twentieth-century Japanese<br />

architects, unmatched in his talent, infl uence, and versatility. This collection of essays<br />

represents a new generation of original research that reframes Tange in the context<br />

of Japan’s unique embrace of modern architecture as well as global discourses of<br />

cultural identity, technology, and the synthesis of the arts. Case studies on celebrated<br />

works clarify Tange’s wide-ranging interests and design methodology through<br />

collaboration with allied fi elds such as art, engineering, furniture design, and photography.<br />

The book will appeal to both specialists and general readers with an interest in<br />

the visual culture and built environment of modern Japan.<br />

In the Life of Cities<br />

Parallel Narratives of the Urban<br />

Edited by Mohsen Mostafavi<br />

In cooperation with Harvard University Graduate School of Design<br />

Publication about the complex relationship between urban artifacts and urban<br />

activities<br />

With concrete examples from numerous cities around the world<br />

This volume addresses the complex relations between urban artifacts and urban life.<br />

The contributions show how architects, planners, and urban designers describe and<br />

give shape to the city, while novelists, humanists, and other scholars examine its operations<br />

and performances. The essential question is: How does the physical character<br />

of an urban environment infl uence or enable the events that take place within a<br />

specifi c setting? Contributors from a wide range of fi elds address the role and life of<br />

cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, MumMumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary<br />

photography present the layered realities of urban life today.<br />

With contributions by Arjun Appadurai, Eve Blau, Svetlana Boym, Lindsay Bremner,<br />

Whiteout City:<br />

Tel Aviv’s Culture of the <strong>New</strong><br />

Rafi Segal<br />

Introduction<br />

Out of a Middle East charged with political conflicts and religious tension,<br />

Tel-Aviv emerges as an urban retreat, an attempted escape from the burdens<br />

of Israeli reality. In order to maintain a sense of normalcy, independence and<br />

participation within the international scene, Tel Aviv offers a ‘counter-place’<br />

an alternative urban life which is at the same time both an integral part and<br />

detached from Israeli society. In contrast to the more conservative side of<br />

Israeli society which has presented the country as ideological, religious, nationalist,<br />

right-wing, segregated, restrictive, conservative, oppressive, and<br />

violent, Tel Aviv has done almost everything possible to show it is exactly the<br />

opposite. The city, through its local cultural figures, media and official<br />

municipal campaigns has continuously expressed, in words and actions, its<br />

separatism, secularism, liberalism and ‘live and let live’ state of mind.<br />

The country’s intense pre-occupation with borders, national security,<br />

restriction and control of physical movement, and policing of public space, is<br />

counter acted with a sense of expansiveness, of having no boundaries or limitations.<br />

This is a notion felt in everyday life, in the city’s urban space, the heterogeneous<br />

composite of its population, its business relations, and nightlife<br />

scene (nicknamed Sodom or Gomorrah). Tel Aviv presents a place where anything<br />

is possible and everything is allowed, with minimum constraints or<br />

restrictions, as a recent Lonely Planet guide concludes: “(Tel Aviv) the total<br />

flipside of Jerusalem, a modern Sin City on the sea rather than an ancient Holy<br />

City on a hill. Hedonism is the one religion that unites its inhabitants. There<br />

are more bars than synagogues, God is a DJ and everyone’s body is a temple.<br />

Yet, scratch underneath the surface and Tel Aviv, or TLV, reveals itself as<br />

a truly diverse 21st-century Mediterranean hub . . . it is home to a large gay<br />

1 Obitiberum eum quae sedia volorrovit lam<br />

2 Imus sunto beat. Obitiberum eum quae sedia volorrovit lam et estiame nonet.<br />

community, a kind of San Francisco in the Middle East.” 1 The sense of disconnect<br />

from the country’s amplified political tensions is perhaps the strongest<br />

notion felt by anyone visiting the city, tourist and Israelis alike. It is this urban<br />

experience that draws so many young Israelis to the city. Tel Aviv simultaneously<br />

provides a sense of relaxation and of intense, overwhelming urban<br />

activity, yet does not offer any distinguishable sites to visit. The city has no<br />

monuments, no exceptional architectural works, no important religious<br />

buildings or other tourist attractions.<br />

Tel Aviv’s practice of detachment has been part of its raison d’etre, since its<br />

conception in the early twentieth century. It is a city which elevated the idea<br />

of being ‘the first at’ within the context of the Zionist revival in Palestine, and<br />

established itself upon the myth of a white city, a city built out of sand upon<br />

the empty dunes along the Mediterranean. As such, it saw itself as a new kind<br />

of urban center which celebrated its youth, cultural independence, lack of ties<br />

to history, or traditional commitments to urban context and architectural<br />

style. With a story of new beginnings, of first events, actions, of creating history<br />

from everyday life, Tel Aviv epitomized the modern Jewish revival: it<br />

offered the first Hebrew town, school, skyscraper and allowed the first<br />

Hebrew political assignation 2 . The narrative of the new, the progressive, the<br />

making of something out of nothing, which is the leitmotif of Zionism’s settlement<br />

of Palestine, is perhaps the most consistent historical narrative from<br />

which to understand Tel Aviv’s inconsistent urban development. This perpetual<br />

desire for renewal has often been confused for the city’s lack of identity.<br />

I would argue here the opposite, that this in fact is a sign and expression<br />

of its identity. Tel Aviv’s desire to continuously be re-born, redefined and<br />

re-experienced is an essential part of what the city is about. The dynamics of<br />

erasure and renewal, of detachment and re-inventing and imagining the city,<br />

serves to draw in and produce the activity, energy and social media connectivity<br />

that sustain it as an urban center and validate the narrative it set to follow.<br />

The continuous pursuit of renewal also results from the gap between Tel<br />

Aviv’s urban aspirations and its geo-political condition. Once detached from<br />

Israeli reality it seeks to participate within a larger international scene. In this<br />

Anniversaries offer the opportunity to consider the past as an active interlocutor with<br />

the present and the future. For the Harvard University Graduate School of Design,<br />

this means highlighting people, events, objects, and ideas in a rich institutional history<br />

to bring the collective memory of seventy-fi ve years into sharper focus for design<br />

practice today and tomorrow. Attempting a comprehensive account of the institution<br />

would run the risk of homogenizing a history characterized so consistently by heterogeneity<br />

and multiplicity. Instead, this book employs an episodic approach, framing<br />

selected moments as journalistic dispatches from the past. These reports are<br />

grouped within paired themes: Design as Research/Design as Critique, City as Practice/City<br />

as Form, the Continuous Institution/The Shifting Institution. Short essays<br />

by a range of GSD faculty signal current directions in teaching and research, pointing<br />

toward a future that is at once inherited and projective.<br />

The City in the City –<br />

Berlin: A Green Archipelago<br />

Edited by Florian Hertweck and Sébastien Marot<br />

Critical Edition, Original 1977<br />

Critical version with commentaries of Oswald Mathias Ungers’ manifesto<br />

Contains two original texts as well as previously unpublished colored drawings<br />

Interviews with the protagonists of the time Rem Koolhaas, Hans Kollhoff, Peter<br />

Riemann, and Arthur Ovaska allow readers to follow the genesis of the text<br />

In the manifesto The City in the City – Berlin: A Green Archipelago, Oswald Mathias<br />

Ungers and a number of his colleagues from Cornell University presented the fi rst<br />

concepts and intellectual models for the shrinking city. In contrast to the reconstruction<br />

of the European city that was popular at the time, they developed the fi gure of a<br />

polycentric urban landscape. However, the manifesto really began to exert an effect<br />

beginning in the 1990s onwards, when the focus of the urban planning discourse<br />

turned to the examination of crises, recessions, and the phenomenon of demographic<br />

shrinking. This critical edition contains a previously unpublished version of the manifesto<br />

by Rem Koolhaas, as well as interviews with co-authors Rem Koolhaas, Peter<br />

Riemann, Hans Kollhoff, and Arthur Ovaska. Introductory texts explain the development<br />

of the manifesto between Cornell and Berlin, position the work in the planning<br />

history of Berlin, and reveal its infl uence on current approaches.<br />

Guido Beltramini<br />

Palladio in Private<br />

Comprehensive biography of famous architect Andrea Palladio<br />

Andrea Palladio’s villa architecture is still admired for its elegance and harmony, but<br />

little is known about the person behind the buildings. Experienced Palladio researcher<br />

Guido Beltramini has worked meticulously on material from historical documents<br />

about Palladio’s person and life, and assembled a full picture of the architect. Palladio<br />

in Private follows his career, his rise from being the ordinary miller’s son Pietro della<br />

Gondola to become the architect Andrea Palladio. Beltramini does not just explore<br />

Palladio’s origins, his training as a stonemason, and his complex relationship with<br />

powerful clients and scholars, but also his private life: his jovial character, his life as a<br />

married man with fi ve children, and not least his profound conviction that architecture<br />

can and must enrich life. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations.<br />

GUIDO BELTRAMINI, born in 1961, has been director of the Centro Internazionale<br />

di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio in Vicenza since 1991. He has curated<br />

numerous exhibitions at venues including the Venice Biennale, the Royal Academy<br />

With numerous photographs, sketches, and documents<br />

In the<br />

1920s and 1930s, the Villa Foscari in Venice, better known as La Malcontenta,<br />

became a meeting place for intellectuals, artists, and members of the nobility such as<br />

Sergei Diaghilev, Boris Kochno, Serge Lifar, Winston Churchill, Robert Byron, Diana<br />

Cooper, Bruce Chatwin, and Le Corbusier. It was an era of inspiring encounters<br />

between aristocrats, the avant-garde, snobs, and intellectuals that ended when Italy<br />

entered World War<br />

II. Antonio Foscari recounts this lively period in the building’s<br />

history and talks about its then owner, Albert Clinton Landsberger, and his friends<br />

Catherine di Rochegude, Baronesse von Erlanger, and Paul Rodocanachi, who not<br />

only lovingly renovated the villa, but made it such a lively place for the fi rst time.<br />

The text is complemented by numerous photographs dating from this exciting time<br />

that convey an impression of what was happening in the villa in those days.<br />

ANTONIO FOSCARI is an architect and has been a professor of architecture at<br />

the University of Venice since 1971. In 1973, he restored the Villa Malcontenta, built<br />

for his ancestors by Andrea Palladio, and has concentrated his research on buildings<br />

by the great Renaissance architect since that date.<br />

And Now the Ensemble! is intended as a challenge to architects, their clients, and<br />

commissioning authorities to understand and create urban development<br />

as a dynamic and collective work of art; in short, to make dialogue central to design.<br />

Design, atmosphere, and use can make every new building relate to its local surroundings.<br />

As a design process, this contextual expansion does not simply imitate<br />

the urban pattern, but interprets what is already there, to some extent modernizes<br />

it, makes the familiar alien by employing unusual atmospheric imagery, and ultimately<br />

transforms the accumulated chaos of soloists into an orchestrated whole.<br />

Le Corbusier’s Pavilion for Zurich<br />

Model and Prototype of an Ideal Exhibition Space<br />

Edited by by the Institute of Historic Building Research Research and Conservation, ETH Zürich<br />

Richly illustrated book of the last and forward-looking work by Le Corbusier<br />

First publication on the Pavilion at Zürichhorn, Zürich, that explains the role<br />

and signifi cance of the building<br />

Le Corbusier’s Pavilion for Zurich uses numerous handwritten documents, drawings,<br />

and papers to trace the history of Le Corbusier’s last built work. This dwelling,<br />

which is also a museum, was initiated by Zürich gallery owner Heidi Weber. With its<br />

abstract forms and colors, it represents an intellectual legacy of the famous architect<br />

in which the further development of architecture as envisaged by Le Corbusier is<br />

clearly legible. From the fi rst ideas and sketches from 1949–50 to the opening in 1967<br />

and beyond, the genesis of this exceptional building—the completion of which the<br />

architect did not live to see—is presented with lavish use of illustrations and docudocuments. This book explains for the fi rst time the signifi cance of the pavilion, which<br />

differs strongly from the beton brut of Le Corbusier’s late work, in terms of its position<br />

as one of the architect’s central and forward-looking works.<br />

CATHERINE DUMONT D’AYOT, born in France in 1965, studied architecture at the<br />

Landscape as an Attitude<br />

Conversations with Günther Vogt<br />

Edited by Medea Hoch, the Chair of Günther Vogt, Department of <strong>Architecture</strong>,<br />

ETH Zürich<br />

The book gives an insight into the design philosophy of well-known landscape<br />

architect Günther Vogt<br />

Shows modern approaches to landscape architecture<br />

A book for architects, urbanists, and landscape architects<br />

Inspired by the architects’ tradition of passing on experience in conversation form,<br />

this paperback book provides insights into the ideas, methods, and memories of one<br />

of Europe’s most innovative landscape architects. In twelve concise conversations,<br />

Vogt inquires into the meaning of landscape architecture in the context of the<br />

worldwide urbanization process, and tries to defi ne this young discipline’s position.<br />

To this day, our concept of landscape appears to be infl uenced by an Arcadian ideal.<br />

Only when landscapes are understood on several levels, as the product of natural,<br />

cultural, and social processes, can atmospheric and living urban landscapes appropriate<br />

to the specifi c situation be created. Günther Vogt sees landscape architecture<br />

decidedly as part of a city, given its close relationship to topography, architecture,<br />

and infrastructure.<br />

GÜNTHER VOGT is a landscape architect and owner of Vogt Landscape Architects<br />

Zürich, with branch offi ces in Munich, Berlin, and London. Since 2005, he is a professor<br />

for landscape architecture at ETH Zürich. Current work includes public realm and<br />

streetscape designs for the athletes’ village for the Olympic Games in London 2012,<br />

now known as East Village.<br />

“... Just a while ago I stood in a landscape while it was<br />

raining and came to the conclusion that the<br />

importance of the sun is overvalued—somewhat like<br />

Joseph Beuys, who once said that Duchamp’s<br />

silence was overvalued. A landscape in the rain is<br />

far more atmospheric than in the sunlight. But<br />

we rarely allow our perception to expand in this way.”<br />

Oil Baron City (1872–1920)<br />

Baku<br />

Oil and Urbanism<br />

Edited by Eve Blau with Ivan Rupnik<br />

In cooperation with Harvard University Graduate School of Design and Sasa Randic<br />

With a portfolio of contemporary Baku by photographer Iwan Baan<br />

First study on the relationship between oil and and urbanism from an architectural<br />

architectural<br />

point of view<br />

Features maps, archival images, and photographs of present-day Baku<br />

Baku: Oil and Urbanism is the fi rst architectural study of the relationship between<br />

oil and urbanism. Its focus is Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and formerly part of the<br />

Russian Empire and Soviet Union. Since the late 19th century, oil and urbanism have<br />

been intertwined in the spaces of the city. Later, Baku was the site of one of the most<br />

spectacular experiments in Soviet urban and infrastructural design —“Neft Dashlari,”<br />

the fi rst off-shore drilling facility in the world, a city built on trestles in the Caspian Sea.<br />

Today, Baku is undergoing its second major oil boom. The book examines how urban<br />

design, planning, and architecture have dealt with the issue of oil in varying political<br />

conditions. Working with maps and archival photographs, the book analyzes sites,<br />

buildings, urban fabric, plans to understand the evolution of the city.<br />

EVE BLAU is adjunct professor of the history of urban form at the Harvard University<br />

Graduate School of Design. Previously director of the architecture degree programs<br />

at the GSD and curator of exhibitions and publications at the Canadian Centre for <strong>Architecture</strong><br />

in Montreal, she has written extensively on modern architecture, urbanism,<br />

and the post-socialist city.<br />

Charlie Koolhaas<br />

True City<br />

Photographic portrait of the fi nancial centers London, Guangzhou, Houston,<br />

Dubai, and Lagos<br />

First major publication by Charlie Koolhaas<br />

With True City, a photographic essay on the “global city” of the twenty-fi rst century,<br />

photographer and sociologist Charlie Koolhaas weaves a dense photographic<br />

patchwork of images of the historic commercial centers of London, Guangzhou, and<br />

Houston and the emerging centers of commerce Dubai and Lagos. For her research,<br />

the author has visited these cities and taken photographs which refl ect contemporary<br />

life in a concentrated way. The images illustrate current issues such as the contradiction<br />

between cultural homogenization and local diversity at a time of globalization.<br />

True City starkly contrasts the various urban landscapes with their inhabitants to<br />

reveal the differences and similarities between the cities, their cultures, the architecture,<br />

and the people living in them. The book is part street photography, part raw documentary<br />

and intense observation. Literary text collages by the author supplement<br />

the visual explorations and form an associative network with them.<br />

CHARLIE KOOLHAAS, born in London in 1977, is a Dutch sociologist and artist. She<br />

graduated from <strong>New</strong> York University in 1999. Her editorial career includes magazine<br />

work in <strong>New</strong> York and London.<br />

From Camp to City<br />

Refugee Camps of the Western Sahara<br />

Edited by Manuel Herz<br />

In cooperation with ETH Studio Basel<br />

Deals with refugee camps from an unconventional, unconventional, urbanistic perspective<br />

A wide-ranging and richly illustrated documentation of urban phenomena and<br />

processes in refugee camps<br />

From Camp to City examines the theme of the refugee camp in the context of<br />

urbanism and architecture. Using the examples of of the refugee refugee camps in the Algerian<br />

desert in which Sahrawis originally from the Western Sahara have been living for<br />

35 years, the book looks at the “urban” aspects of these settlements. In contrast<br />

to the standard way of seeing refugee camps as scenes of human misery and despair,<br />

the examination concentrates on how people live and dwell in refugee camps,<br />

on how they work, move around, and enjoy themselves, and looks at the spaces and<br />

structures that are created in the process. With numerous images and texts, individual<br />

aspects of urban life are presented and analyzed in the different chapters. As an<br />

examination of a “borderline case” of urbanity, the publication does not ignore<br />

the problematic aspects of this theme, but on the contrary: its potential explosiveness<br />

is further underscored by the focus on a “vocabulary of the urban.” It allows<br />

an understanding of the camps as a political project. The publication is based on<br />

research studies of the ETH Studio Basel, Institute of Contemporary Urbanism at<br />

the ETH Zürich.<br />

MANUEL HERZ is an architect, based in Basel, Switzerland. Amongst his recently<br />

constructed buildings are the Jewish Community Center and Synagogue of Mainz<br />

(Germany) and the mixed-use building Legal / Illegal in Cologne. He currently is the<br />

head of teaching and research at ETH Studio Basel—Institute of the Contemporary<br />

City. Besides his work as a practicing architect, he researches and works in the fi eld<br />

of architecture of “humanitarian action.”<br />

Imagine Peace<br />

A Critical Visual Encyclopedia<br />

Edited by Ruedi Baur and Vera Baur Kockot, Design2context<br />

Design: Megan Hall<br />

An impressive visual encyclopedia of the iconography of peace<br />

Comprehensive selection of widely varied visualizations of peace<br />

Can one visualize peace? Are there signs, symbols, and images that present a positive<br />

image of peace as opposed to receiving their meanings in opposition to war?<br />

Over several years of research, the Design2context Institute has intensively examined<br />

the representation and representability of peace and has compiled a comprehensive<br />

collection of images. In order to include a number of historical, cultural, and political<br />

perspectives, the archival aspect is supplemented by workshops in crisis regions.<br />

The encyclopedia—which, as new sociopolitical situations continue to arise and call<br />

for new pictures, must inevitably remain incomplete—provides a broad overview of<br />

the iconography of peace, and is also intended to assist in gaining an understanding<br />

of the concept. This book represents a signifi cant contribution to future discussions<br />

on the need and desire for peace in political and social life.<br />

The Magic of Things<br />

Edited by the Museum of Design Zürich<br />

With an essay by Gerda Breuer and an insert by Bettina Richter<br />

Shows numerous posters by important Swiss designers such as Niklaus<br />

Stoecklin, Peter Birkhäuser, or Otto Baumberger<br />

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Magic of Things in the Museum of<br />

Design Zürich, August 29, 2012–January 6, 2013<br />

The Magic of Things explores a former advertising strategy of Swiss product posters<br />

in which banal, everyday objects—butter, a sewing machine, or shoes—are presented<br />

as desirable objects enticing us to buy. Free from any further contextualization, the<br />

objects acquire a sensual presence and magical aura. The product poster had its<br />

heyday in Switzerland in the 1940s with designers such as Niklaus Stoecklin, Peter<br />

Birkhäuser, or Otto Baumberger. As consumer society developed, however, the exclusive<br />

focus on the product and the brand name was no longer enough—in advertising,<br />

the feelings associated with the object as it related to life grew increasingly important.<br />

Today it is in the cultural poster that the magical depiction of things is experiencing a<br />

kind of renaissance.<br />

Trust Design<br />

How Design Can Increase Our Trust. Or Damage It.<br />

Edited by Scott Burnham<br />

In cooperation with Premsela, the Netherlands Institute for Design and Fashion<br />

The book examines how design builds or damages our trust in products<br />

Concrete examples illustrate the concept of “trust design”<br />

A source of inspiration for product designers and architects<br />

Trust has become a critical issue in our society. Something as simple as eating or<br />

shopping for food becomes an exercise in trust as we weigh organic claims against<br />

reports of genetically modifi ed foods and contamination. How can trust be strengthened<br />

through the objects, services, and spaces we use? What are the ingredients<br />

of trust? Does trust have a color? A look? A feel? Can you design trust? Can you trust<br />

design? For a topic of such vast importance in our daily lives, little attention is paid<br />

to the real-world, tactile qualities of trust. Trust Design shows how trust can be communicated<br />

between the design of the object, system, or space, and the audience or<br />

end-user. Featuring examples of products, systems, services, interfaces, and spaces<br />

designed with trust in mind, Trust Design brings an often intangible concept into<br />

the physical world.<br />

SCOTT BURNHAM is a writer, researcher and creative director focusing on new<br />

approaches to design, and understanding design’s impact on society, from products<br />

and services to public spaces. He directed the “Trust Design Project” for Premsela,<br />

Current topic: the meaning of copyright in the digital age<br />

Contrasts copyright with the right to copy<br />

With contributions by renowned authors from the fi elds of design, architecture,<br />

art and copyright law<br />

Design culture is obsessed with authenticity. Copying is often deemed reprehensible,<br />

and borrowing another’s idea or incorporating elements of his or her work into one’s<br />

own is viewed as a sign of creative impoverishment. But is this right? What’s wrong<br />

with interpreting someone else’s creation? Musicians have been quoting each other’s<br />

work for centuries—why shouldn’t the same thing happen in other creative disciplines?<br />

Where does quotation end and copying begin, and how original is an original<br />

anyway? Is intellectual property protection appropriate in an age of digital distribution,<br />

when it’s diffi cult to identify a product’s author, maker, or inventor? And in a culture<br />

in which quotation and copying have long led to enrichment and innovation, should<br />

these acts be made impossible? In this book, several thinkers from the worlds<br />

of design, architecture, art, business, and copyright law elaborate on the future of<br />

copyright and the right to copy.<br />

The latest work by photographer Thomas Flechtner<br />

Artistic refl ection of the ephemerality of news headlines<br />

The confrontation of anarchic nature with man-made agendas in over<br />

one hundred photographs<br />

<strong>New</strong>s represents a further development of the much-acclaimed work of artist Thomas<br />

Flechtner. Whereas in Snow he looked at snow as a metaphor for timelessness, calm,<br />

distance, and loneliness, and in Bloom Flechtner used atmospherically condensed<br />

studies of plants to examine the boundless colorfulness and movement of grown<br />

nature, for his new project <strong>New</strong>s Flechtner collected newspaper front pages over<br />

a period of one year, scattered plant seeds from very different countries over them,<br />

watered them, and, fi nally, exposed them to the sun. He recorded the way the “news”<br />

was gradually bleached and overgrown with plants in more than one hundred color<br />

photographs. Flechtner contrasts the anarchy of nature with the agenda of mankind,<br />

while also questioning the fl eetingness of memory and the demands made on it in<br />

shaping today’s world.<br />

THOMAS FLECHTNER, born in Winterthur in 1961, studied at the Ecole de<br />

In Jesus’ Name<br />

A critical photographic contribution to the topic of “modern” religious<br />

organizations<br />

After Protokoll and Tropical Gift, In Jesus’ Name is the third part of the author’s<br />

trilogy on the topic of power relations<br />

After examining political and economic structures of power in Protokoll and Tropical<br />

Gift, in the publication In Jesus’ Name photographer Christian Lutz turns his focus on<br />

the ritual and social behavior patterns within a religious organization. For several<br />

months he has documented the evangelical group “International Christian Fellowship”<br />

in Switzerland. With a coolly distanced view, his photographs show the yearning<br />

for belonging and for jointly experienced spirituality that is made manifest in large<br />

religious events. They reveal that at such meetings—in stadiums but also in remote<br />

camping sites—location and clothing play a less important role than the experience<br />

of community and cultic ritual. Lutz critically questions the emotionally charged<br />

meetings and reveals parallels to other social mass events such as rock concerts or<br />

football matches.<br />

CHRISTIAN LUTZ, born in Geneva in 1973, studied at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts<br />

de l’Image, “Le 75” in Brussels. His artistic work has been awarded many prizes in<br />

Switzerland and abroad, and is regularly shown in exhibitions.<br />

The Dirty Colors of Growth<br />

China’s Huai River<br />

Photographical documentation of the ecological consequences<br />

of the Chinese economic boom<br />

After From Somewhere to Nowhere, Seibert’s documentation of<br />

China’s migrant workers, he presents his next book on another pressing<br />

issue in China<br />

Published to accompany the exhibition Andreas Seibert—Huai He in<br />

the Fotostiftung Winterthur, October 27, 2012 – February 17, 2013<br />

China’s spectacular growth has brought not just prosperity, but also serious damage<br />

to the environment. For photojournalist Andreas Seibert, the present state of the Huai<br />

River is a clear example of these problems. Several stretches of the river have been<br />

so seriously polluted by toxic waste that people are advised not to even touch the<br />

water. Seibert has traveled along the river from source to mouth in order to record<br />

how it changes from a stretch of water rising amidst unspoiled nature into a large and<br />

poisonous river. Pictures taken on his travels present the poor hinterlands which are<br />

generally forgotten in discussions on China, and show the people who live on and<br />

near the river—in a habitat on the brink of destruction.<br />

Reset – Beyond Fukushima<br />

Will the Nuclear Catastrophe Bring Humanity to Its Senses?<br />

Edited by Adriano A. Biondo and <strong>Lars</strong> <strong>Müller</strong><br />

Photographs by Kazuma Obara<br />

The photo book documents the fi rst days, weeks, and months in the Fukushima<br />

region after the nuclear catastrophe<br />

With photos directly taken on site as well as portraits and interviews of workers<br />

of the nuclear power plant<br />

Current topic: nuclear power, an issue of debate on the political agenda<br />

Ever since the fi rst days following the disastrous events that took place in Japan in<br />

March 2011, photojournalist Kazuma Obara has been visiting the sites and the people<br />

affected. He even visited the Fukushima power plant itself, where he talked to<br />

the workers involved. The series of portraits and interviews he produced is published<br />

for the fi rst time in this publication.<br />

Obara’s photographs offer touching insights about the consequences of the events<br />

surrounding Fukushima. Recollected in this book, they offer a long-term perspective<br />

and pose the question of responsibility. They bring to mind just how far-reaching<br />

the consequences of this catastrophe are, for the people on site as well as worldwide.<br />

The book offers a view that goes beyond the pure facts on site—Beyond Fukushima.<br />

KAZUMA OBARA, born in Iwate in 1985, Japan, is a photojournalist. He studied social<br />

sciences at Utsunomiya University and continued his studies at Days Japan Photo<br />

Journalism School. Three days after the earthquake disaster, he began documenting<br />

what was happening in the affected areas. His photographs from the Fukushima<br />

Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant have been published all over Europe.<br />

IMperfect<br />

HealtH<br />

the MediCaLization<br />

of arChiteCture<br />

Today we are anxious about ground pollution,<br />

food safety, smog, obesity and aging. Because almost<br />

everything in our surroundings is perceived as<br />

a possible source of disease, the health, defence<br />

and fortification of the body is an obsessive pursuit.<br />

Design is also affected<br />

by such anxieties. Imperfect<br />

Health investigates the<br />

historical connections between<br />

health, design and the<br />

environment, bringing to light<br />

uncertainties and contradictions<br />

in cultures informed by<br />

Western medicine, to insist on<br />

a challenging hypothesis:<br />

that urbanism, landscape design<br />

and architecture take care<br />

of their “inhabitants,” instead of<br />

seeking an ultimate cure.<br />

Architectural Papers V<br />

AFTER CRISIS <strong>Lars</strong> <strong>Müller</strong> <strong>Publishers</strong><br />

Architectural Papers V concentrates on the new conditions for architectural<br />

practice and the epistemologies that may inform it now that the fi nancial bubble<br />

has collapsed and living and working conditions have signifi cantly changed.<br />

Essays, studies, and interviews, along with a selection of illustrative projects, tackle<br />

the actual issues of growth and shrinking, economy and ideology, craftsmanship<br />

and social space in the city, and materiality and sustainability in architecture.<br />

The Architectural Papers series covers a wide range of topics related to teaching<br />

and architectural culture in general, and is aimed at expanding the narrow<br />

boundaries of the discipline. Established in 2005, the series is edited by Chair<br />

Prof. Dr. Josep Lluís Mateo at ETH Zürich.<br />

( TO GIVE YOU A HAND )<br />

Modern hand-yeroglyphs function as<br />

a sort of unofficial global communication<br />

system which effectly cross over the<br />

multiples barriers formed by diverse<br />

national languages.<br />

Even if sometimes, certain similar signs<br />

have different meanings from one<br />

culture to another, there is definitely<br />

a common hand sign language.<br />

This visual expression is intercultural.<br />

Created everywhere, by everyone, at<br />

any time, those signs belong to no one<br />

in particular and to all of us in general.<br />

The visual collection ( which you are<br />

holding in your hands ) is presenting<br />

hand signs in various situations and<br />

demonstrates how represented in<br />

different parts of the world, they are<br />

expressing symbolically and without<br />

words the unlimited actions of the<br />

human family.<br />

For Future’s Sake!<br />

A Visual Reader of Climate Change<br />

René Schwarzenbach, <strong>Lars</strong> <strong>Müller</strong>, Christian Rentsch and Klaus Lanz (Eds.)<br />

In cooperation with the Department of Environmental Sciences, ETH Zürich<br />

This visual reader offers a new approach to explaining climate change<br />

and making the topic accessible to a wider public<br />

Continues the series of our well-known bestsellers The Face of Human Rights<br />

and Who Owns the Water?<br />

For Future’s Sake! sets itself the goal of conveying the knowledge revealed by<br />

current climate research in a manner that is both concise and appealing. It differs<br />

from other books on climate change principally in the way it is conceived as a<br />

visual reader that deliberately uses the effectiveness and power of the image to present<br />

the theme in a graphic way. Extensive series of images with large photographs<br />

and informative diagrams accompany well-researched essays on and around the<br />

themes of climate history, research and policy and thus offer an in-depth examination.<br />

The book provides insights into the history of the earth’s climate and reveals<br />

the factors that are responsible for climate change. It poses questions and provides<br />

answers: why is the earth becoming warmer? What are the consequences we must<br />

reckon with? What can we do against this? Who determines the future? As both<br />

a volume of illustrations and a reader, For Future’s Sake! is directed at all those who<br />

want to equip themselves with knowledge and understanding to confront what is<br />

probably our planet’s most pressing problem.<br />
