    ill. OPappband. / Hardcover. 1. Aufl. New Living (Das Neue Wohnen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It showcased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture--some of which were on view shortly after in the prestigious exhibition The International Style--and contrasted them with the impractical, unhygenic living spaces that were the norm. Visually diverse and full of experimental montage techniques, New Living pioneered a radical method of portraying architecture on celluloid. - // Sprache : Englisch (Sehr gut erhalten - NEU, ungelesen / in very good condition) Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 900.

    Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The glittering career of the multitalented Hollywood designer who dressed Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich and reinvented Swissair's iconic look. From the 1920s to the 1960s, Rene Hubert (18951976) belonged to the creme de la creme of costume designers. He designed costumes for stars such as Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe in one of her first roles. Shirley Temple danced the Hula in the film Curly Top wearing a grass skirt ensemble designed by Hubert; he was especially closely associated with Gloria Swanson, who encouraged him to relocate to Los Angeles when she met him in Paris in 1924. Hubert consented, and soon found himself working with directors Rene Claire, Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger, elevating their stars with his flair for opulent color and elegant lines. Hubert's international reputation helped him to win commissions in his native Switzerland, most notably for the Swiss National Exhibition in 1939, for Swissair uniforms and aircraft interiors, and for various theaters and textile companies. This richly illustrated publication compiles sketches, costume photography, stage photos and film still of Hubert's work. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic reflect on his multifaceted oeuvre at his numerous workplaces in Switzerland, Europe and the US. Excerpts from his unpublished memoirs provide a personal view of his life and the glamour of the era. SELLING POINTS: . Swiss designer Rene Hubert's costumes defined the golden age of Hollywood in the 1920s, '30s and '40s; he was closely associated with Gloria Swanson. His work achieved iconic status again in the 1950s, when he designed the uniforms and interiors for Swissair . First book on the design work of Hubert: a survey of his fashion, arts and crafts and industrial work. Includes sketches, images of his costumes and dresses, stage photos and film stills Iconic costumes for international celebrities Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

    Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A facsimile edition of the world-famous design manual for the Swiss Federal Railways' iconic and unique pictogram signage system. In 1980, famed Swiss graphic designer Josef Muller-Brockmann (191496) laid the cornerstone for a uniform visual identity for the Swiss Federal Railways with his legendary Visual Information System at Train Stations and Stops. Because of Switzerland's multilingualism, the manual proposed a signage system that largely excluded language. With his functional typography, Muller-Brockmann conceived an intuitively comprehensible signage system for use throughout the country to guide passengers with the help of pictograms. Muller-Brockmann's manual, greatly expanded in 1992, is a prime example of a complex design project that succeeds through extreme rationality and consistency. This complete English translation makes the manual accessible for the first time to a broader public. Andres Janser examines the project in the context of Muller-Brockmann's conceptual work and the systematic international design for which railways everywhere were striving during the period. AUTHOR: As a teacher in Japan and at the design schools in Zurich and Ulm, as well as a lecturer and consultant, Josef Mueller-Brockmann was a distinctive voice in the design world. His posters are legendary and his magazine New Graphic Design (195865) spread the doctrine of sober design based on constructive principles across the continents. SELLING POINTS: . Josef Mueller-Brockmann was a leading figure in Swiss graphic design. Beginning in the 1950s, he helped to pioneer the Swiss Style that would shape graphic design worldwide for decades. In 1980 he designed the signage system for the Swiss Federal Railways, unique in its near-total absence of language and reliance on universally understood symbols and pictograms. . Facsimile reprint of the 1992 Passenger Information System manual that later became a signpost for successful graphic design systems. Now available in a complete English translation with introductory essays. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

    Trade Paperback. Condición: New. Did you know that around half of the world's extant highrise structures were erected only within the past ten years? 'Highrise: Idea and Reality' offers a comprehensive examination of the highrise phenomenon and its surprisingly recent international ubiquity. A wide range of contemporary highrises are explored in their broadest cultural and civic contexts--contexts which can vary greatly from continent to continent, and from culture to culture--illuminating not only the effects of these imposing buildings upon their immediate landscapes, but also the everyday lives of their inhabitants. Alongside a wealth of photographic documentation, essays by architectural scholars and journalists Karin Gimmi, Andres Janser, Andres Lepik, Clifford A. Pearson, Eric Schuldenfrei, Martino Stierli and Marisa Yiu offer theoretical elaborations on the function of the highrise and its symbolic power as 'the' signature structure of the modern city.
