From Design To Design - Masaaki Hiromura

ADP 2016 ISBN 9784903348476 Acqn 25985
Pb 19x26cm 256pp 250ills 175col 29.95
Based on an exhibition of Masaaki Hiromuras personal repertoire as a designer and architect,
this handsome volume offers insight into his design process and the thought that goes into a
design. He addresses questions of whether new designs are of added value, or if such a design
is necessary, and thereby also considers the negative aspects and potential drawbacks. It
features numerous works and projects on every scale by Hiromura in its analysis, from signage,
and labels, to domestic objects and entire interior design schemes. Richly supplemented with his
own writings on the nature of design, the book includes an in-depth interview with the architect.

means to resolution among both professionals and the wider public. Calling upon designers to

Atlas Of Cape Horn - The Cartography Of Southern South America 1500-1725

Thoth Uitgeverij 2016 ISBN 9789068687071 Acqn 26148
Hb 25x35cm 176pp 150ills 100col 35.50
The discovery of a sailing route around Cape Horn brought the exotic spices of the Maluku
Islands closer to Europeans, yet its interest was not just commercial. Speculations about the
exact nature of the sea area south of the 50th parallel could be dismissed, whereby safe
navigation also became possible. Cartography in the 16th century developed rapidly as a result of
the many exploratory voyages in that time, which in turn produced trustworthy navigational charts
by the beginning of the 18th century, not to mention a new global view. With their imaginative
decorations and refined use of colour, the maps reproduced in this book are now rare and
treasured historical markers.

Les Presses Du Reel 2016 ISBN 9782840668541 Acqn 26267
Pb 24x33cm 328pp 650ills col 43.95
Through 650 images drawn from the French National Institute for typographic research

change, exploring the little-known world of typography design through a diverse selection of
projects drawing on both an age-old craft tradition and the most radical innovation. The Atelier
National de Recherche Typographique (ANRT) was set up by the French government in 1985, in
order to revitalise typeface design in France, a sector beset by problems. Its remit was soon
extended to cover fields of typographical research and practice beyond type design proper.
Between 1985 and 2006 the Atelier trained around a hundred students, contributing to a
spectacular revival of French typography.
