Project Catalogue Graduation Show 2020
Design Academy Eindhoven 2020 ISBN 9789491400452 Acqn 31043
Pb 17x24cm 506pp col ills £44
Published by the Design Academy Eindhoven on the occasion of its 2020 graduation show, this
catalogue is an example of what has been referred to as the "extreme present". At once
intimidating and intoxicating, it is built around a reality that is in a state of permanent and
accelerated flux. Our relevance is dependent on our ability to uninterruptedly interpret this
evolving reality, and it is exhausting. The graduation projects presented here were largely
conceived in a past that today seems very distant, one in which things were taken for granted that
today, in a world defined by the pandemic, seem unthinkable. However, in many ways this body
of work is also anticipatory…

Science of the Secondary 11 – Banana
Atelier Hoko 2020 ISBN 9789811423338 Acqn 31068
Pb 17x25cm 56pp col ills £21
This issue examines one of the most ubiquitous, widely recognised and popular fruits on the
planet. Large-scale farming has made this tropical fruit accessible almost year-round in most
countries, while its near-phallic shape frequently stirs the sexual imagination of fully-grown adults.
But perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the banana is its role in the beginning and end
of our lives; its soft, easy-to-mash texture makes it suitable for both teething babies and the
toothless elderly. Learn everything about the banana, from its ripeness and size, to how to peel,
handle, and store it. Humorous but informative illustrations and photos complete this authoritative
banana guide.

Kawaii! The Intimacy Of The Japanese Handscroll
Tokyo Bijutsu 2020 ISBN 9784808710385 Acqn 30931
Pb 15x21cm 118pp col ills £28
Folding screens and hanging scrolls; these and many other Japanese art forms originated in
China. The same can be said of handscrolls, whose source was Chinese picture scrolls. In
Japan, however, the handscroll format developed in distinctive directions. In the "emaki", a long
painting illustrating the accompanying narrative and mounted on a scroll, it became an artistic
synthesis uniting literature and painting. The "emaki" is thus an original Japanese art form.

Tokyo Bijutsu 2020 ISBN 9784808710613 Acqn 30935
Pb 15x21cm 128pp col ills £28
For many Japanese the word ceramics is associated with tea bowls, a potter working at his
wheel, or traditions from long in the past - all rather austere and complex. But this title shows that
ceramics can also be adorable. A host of forms and vivd plants and birds, lovely dream-like hues
wrapped in glass-like glazes, the tender face of the flexible clay, adorable animals: what could be
more kawaii?

Raddar 2 – Interiors
T&P Publishing, Mudac 2020 ISBN 9791095513094 Acqn 31011
Pb 20x25cm 212pp col ills £39.95
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a re-examination of the architecture and design of our
interiors from a wide range of perspectives. As containment measures were imposed, the private
dwelling became central to the lives of many people worldwide; no longer a simple accumulation
of furniture and objects, the interior is an intimate, socio-cultural construction anchored in a
precise moment of space and time. A text by Swiss architect Philippe Rahm, who has long
worked on climate phenomena and is now looking at its relationship with the pandemic, is among
the ten articles by international contributors in this issue, guest edited by design historian Penny
Sparke.

When Skillful Participation Becomes Design - Making Clothes Together
Aalto University 2020 ISBN 9789526089256 Acqn 31020
Pb 18x25cm 240pp col ills £45
Design, use, and participation intersect in novel ways when a diverse community of people come
together to make clothes. Anja-Lisa Hirscher's book examines the fluidity that flourishes at these
intersections by introducing findings from three "research through design" experiments which
brought communities together to sew, upcycle, and design new garments. The study examines
concepts of skillful participation in alternative spaces of peer production and the designer's role in
facilitating the social and material aspects of making clothes together.

Aurelia Peter - Through The Mask
Everyedition 2020 ISBN 9783952489451 Acqn 31059
Pb 23x30cm 192pp col ills £35
Show and hide, open and protect, associate and dissociate - opposites and transitions determine
the essence of masks. The interest in ritual masks marks the starting point of this project of Swiss
arits and designer Aurelia Peter. At the centre of the exploration are three modern masks whose
different details are depicted on both sides (outside and inside). The publication illustrates the
phenomenon of the mask: making visible and recognizing that the mask can be based on cultural
as well as on social norms and values within a social system or under individual circumstances.

Kantava Maa - Solid Ground
Aalto 2020 ISBN 9789526038827 Acqn 31060
Pb 17x22cm 186pp col ills £33.50
'Solid Ground' by Nathalie Lautenbacher of Aalto University comprises a selection of photographs
and thoughtful essays in its close examination of ceramics and their appeal. While the field of
design currently covers a variety of different materials and technologies, and even operates within
immaterial domains, the ancient art of ceramics remains highly relevant. The book's seven
chapters reflect not only today's trends but also lasting phenomena within the field of ceramics.
Many of these themes are archaic, having evolved naturally over time. Writers from a variety of
fields search for bridges between culture, art, and academia, to discover the roots of this versatile
material.
