Shopping is history, in both senses of the word. As shopping shifts online and the economic shocks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic push bankruptcies to ­unprecedented levels, retail is facing its own version of the end of days. The arsenal of commercial techniques that retail has developed can no longer function as usual. The entangled worlds of architecture, fashion, business and art that supplied those techniques now appear to us in a new way, as a museum of a culture that is now ­becoming extinct. At the same time, retail's techniques of attraction and distraction have become visible in a new way. Stripped of their use value, they reveal themselves as techniques of pure display. Retail Apocalypse presents a compendium of case studies, interventions, and object lessons rescued from the bonfire of retail culture. It ranges from Friedrich Kiesler's display windows to Gae Aulenti's Fiat show­rooms, from J. G. Ballard's dystopian fantasies to TELFAR's critical utopias, from Rem Koolhaas to Herzog & de Meuron.

Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was first and foremost famous for his furniture. In the 1940s, he broke with the established furniture tradition and designed a number of creations that regenerated Danish furniture design. At the Milan Triennials in the 1950s, he was awarded no fewer than five gold medals and won international acclaim for his furniture. But Finn Juhl was not only an excellent furniture designer: he worked with all aspects of the architect's profession. He gained international recognition as an interior designer for his work on the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. As an exhibition architect, he was the man behind the major showings of Danish applied art abroad which created the concept “Danish design" and paved the way for the Danish furniture industry's export triumphs in the 1960s. This book presents a full-length portrait of Finn Juhl as an artist designer, architect and cultural figure.

Da de højrøde Intercity-tog – trukketaf rød/sorte lokomotiver og bemandet med personale i brune og orange uniformer– i 1974 rullede ud i landet, gik det for alvor op for danskerne at"Statsbanerne" var i forandring. Vingehjul og kongekrone forsvandt ogerstattedes af bogstaverne "DSB" i moderne skriftsnit. DSBDesignprogram var imidlertid langt mere omfattende: man ville skabe et samlet,behageligt og letgenkendeligt rejsemiljø for de DSB-rejsende – lige frastationer til tog og færger. Det var første gang at en stor danskstatsorganisation udarbejdede et ’corporate image’ – et begreb der dengang kunvar kendt fra multinationale firmaer. Da DSB dækkede hele landet, blevdesignprogrammet datidens mest omfattende anvendelse af moderne dansk design,arkitektur og kunst – oplevet af næsten hele den danske befolkning og beundret internationalt. Drivkraften bag DSB Designprogram var arkitekt Jens Nielsen, der fra 1972 og20 år frem satte et markant aftryk på DSBs fremtræden i offentligheden, hvadangår grafisk design, stationsarkitektur, design af lokomotiver og vogne,færger, uniformer, catering, plakater og kunstnerisk udsmykning.

Building the ordinary into the extraordinary - brick by brick. This first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO® takes the reader on a visually stunning journey from the very earliest hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today. LEGO bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still at the very centre of LEGO's ethos: each brick connects to every other brick, allowing the construction of almost anything you can imagine. LEGO minifigures may be the friendly faces of the LEGO world, but bricks in all their different shapes and forms are its very foundation. The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks explores the brick's rich history in full colour and unparalleled detail. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, Daniel Konstanski has interviewed design masters, element testers and the so-called 'rock stars', the set designers, to reveal for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made. This is the book the fans have always wanted: a truly behind-the-scenes look at the story of the beloved LEGO brick and the company which makes it, with a wealth of exclusive visual material from the LEGO Archive in Billund.

Den amerikanske arkitekt og forfatter Michael Sheridan stiller i denne bog skarpt på en lang række arketypiske danske design, som har bevaret deres aktualitet takket være deres uovertrufne funktionalitet og enkle form.

Glæd dig til mødet med kunsten. Den er livsforandrende.Du bliver i bookazine no. 10 præsenteret for både udøvende kunstnere og deres praksis og for håndværkere, hvis viden og kunnen muliggør værkproduktion, ligesom du møder billedskolerektor, museumsdirektør og gallerist og inviteres med til det finske kunstnersamfund i Fiskars. I min samtale med designer Birgitte Due Madsen introducerer hun sin materialebaserede arbejdsmetode, som hun kalder fra ‘fra unika til duplika’. Hun ser sig dermed tilbage og læner sig op ad en lang tradition, hvor kunstnere og kunsthåndværkere har vekslet mellem at udkomme med kunst og at have samarbejder med virksomheder, som har seriefremstillet deres designs. Sådan var det for eksempel for Axel Salto, som i skrivende stund er udstillet på Clay Keramik Museum Danmark. Han er i øvrigt i (sviger)familie med Rikke Salto, som du også kan møde, hun fortæller om sit arbejde med at skabe messehagler i samarbejde med Selskabet for Kirkelig Kunst.“Der er nogle få, det går rigtig godt for, men det er ikke nok at være en god kunstner, man skal også forstå branchens dynamik og være god til at omgås andre”, sådan konkluderer Søren Ellitsgaard. Han har siden 2003 stået bag Litografisk Atelier, som samarbejder med en lang række anerkendte samtidskunstnere om udgivelse af litografiske tryk.Desuden skal man, inden man vier sit liv til en kunstnerisk karriere, have en accept af, at man højst sandsynligt kommer til at leve med at have patchworkøkonomi. Hvilke lapper, som kan inkluderes i et sådant patchwork, taler jeg med billedkunstner Pernille Kapper Williams om. Et bookazine om kunst, om præmissen, om nødvendigheden af og kærligheden til at skabe, om vedholdenhed og selvtillid, om ler, bronze, harelim og pigmenter, om tekstiler, træ og sten.God læselyst, designer, skribent og fotograf, Rigetta Klint

Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels, gesteigerten Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen sowie der erforderlichen Steigerung der Resilienz wirtschaftlicher Prozesse, nimmt die Relevanz von digitalen Assistenzsystemen für die Arbeitswelt stetig zu. Insbesondere der immersiven Technologie Augmented Reality (dt. erweiterte Realität ¿ AR) wird eine besondere Unterstützungswirkung als Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine in der digitalen Produktion beigemessen. In dieser Arbeit wird das Potenzial von Augmented-Reality-gestützter digitaler Assistenzsysteme für den Einsatz in der industriellen additiven Produktion ganzheitlich untersucht und anhand einer Systementwicklung zur unterstützenden Begleitung manueller Tätigkeiten in der Prozesskette des Laserstrahlschmelzverfahrens demonstriert und wirtschaftlich bewertet. Angesichts der interdisziplinären und anwendungsorientierten Natur dieser Aufgabe, wurde die gestaltungsorientierte Forschung als Rahmenwerk gewählt, welche die zweckdienliche und stringente Nutzung methodischer Werkzeuge zur Erschließung menschenzentrierter Systeme als Kern hat. Das entwickelte System befähigt Nutzende ohne Vorerfahrung zur Durchführung komplexer Rüst- und Wartungsaufgaben an der Produktionsanlage und trägt hierbei zu einer signifikanten Fehlerreduktion im Vergleich zur konventionellen Wissensvermittlung bei.

With the first appointment of the outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic to the Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the focus in the 2023-23 academic year was placed on transdisciplinarity, artistic daring and social awareness.The project supervised by Abramovic, entitled "Free Interdisciplinary Performance Laboratory (FIPL)", was realised in a class put together by her, in which she brought together over 20 students from the fields of music (classical and jazz, instrumental, vocal and composition), dance, design, photography, (physical) theatre and directing. The students developed individual or collective concepts for performances and learnt how to develop a long-term performative work form in an experience-based process. In a workshop entitled "Cleaning the House", which was organised according to a method developed by Marina Abramovicmethod developed by Marina Abramovic, the students developed a sense of the presence required in performances, including the exploration of their individual physical and mental limits. The outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic was the first holder of the new Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen in 2022/23. She focused on transdisciplinarity, artistic daring and social awareness.

Die Publikation untersucht die Wissenszirkulation zwischen Kunst und Design, wobei der wechselseitige Wissensaustausch von künstlerischem und nichtkünstlerische Objekt im Mittelpunkt steht. Ausgangspunkt ist die Annahme, dass Wissen in unterschiedlichen Formen rotieren kann. Wissen zirkuliert zwischen Menschen sowie zwischen nichtmenschlichen Wissensträgern. Im Zentrum stehen beispielhafte Orte , an denen Wissen zirkuliert: Die Ebene der Akteure (Künstler/-innen und Designer/-innen), der Objekte (Kunst- und Designobjekte) und der Bedeutungen. Infolgedessen wird Wissen auch nicht einfach als Wahrheit aufgefasst, sondern als ein historisches Phänomen, das zeit-, ort- und personenabhängig ist.

In a world facing global crisis after crisis, a new approach to urban development is emerging. This book is the result of three years of iterative research which explores the ways in which technology, community, and urban design can work together to create more sustainable and productive cities. The book offers insights into how enabling technologies and citizen empowerment are leading to new economic models and a collaborative culture. Through an in-depth analysis of the city of Rome, the research demonstrates how a focus on community building and new urban models can lead to more sustainable, resilient, and productive cities. The outcome of the research is a hyper-local tool that enables bottom-up initiatives to respond to specific needs and help develop new economies. This approach, combined with top-down initiatives from administrations could be useful for further creation of proposals that precisely address community needs. Findings of the research will be useful for policymakers, urban planners, makers, designers, and citizens who want to design and advocate for sustainable urban development models and thriving neighborhoods. With its practical insights and real-world examples, this book offers a roadmap for building more resilient and sustainable cities in the 21st century.

"Sustainable Packaging Materials" provides a concise introduction to the principles and practices of packaging sustainability. It addresses the important issues that concern packaging professionals, decision makers, managers, CTOs, legislators, researchers, and students, including the viability and future of recycling, bio- and oxo-degradable materials, and plastics alternatives such as paper, glass, and metal. Also covered are new regulations such as the extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, their consequences as to what materials are likely to be banned, and whether microplastics should be a concern for packaging companies.Written by an experienced professor, educator, author, inventor, and entrepreneur, this book offers uniquely clear answers to these challenges, helping readers to identify packaging materials that are likely to be phased out to meet new regulations, and to find alternatives to benefit their research and businesses. They will also be equipped to follow guidelines on the use of various packaging materials to stay ahead of the demands of the industry, and to make informed choices about packaging materials by considering sustainability, performance, and cost. Furthermore, they will be informed of the emerging packaging trends in both academia and industry, and understand the issues associated with microplastic pollution, and the actions recommended to mitigate these challenges.
