    Content: "Shipping containers are modular, affordable, and virtually indestructible. More and more often they are being used to build temporary structures such as pavilions, offices, galleries, and bars that can be easily moved if necessary. This phenomenon has a name: container architecture. Container Atlas presents a wide range of contemporary projects along with an in-depth investigation into the background and evolution of this topical field. The book illustrates how containers are being used as building blocks to accommodate the daily lives and special events of urban nomads. Because the structures that containers are used to build are not meant to be permanent, their architecture has a more short-term and playful character that often references current trends. Container Atlas features advertising, pop-up stores, and temporary exhibits that are built using this approach as well as sophisticated housing and office spaces. Found in both urban and rural settings, these container structures provoke and inspire while setting new standards in functionality and aesthetics. Including detailed reports by experts in the field, Container Atlas explains the historical development of container use in architecture, documents plans, describes associated costs, and suggests concrete solutions for common problems. The book also introduces the various types of containers currently in use today, from standard shipping models to modular pieces made to order out of various materials or with customized cutouts. Container Atlas is a practical and inspirational reference for architects, planners, and cultural activists as well as event and marketing managers, to guide them in deciding what types of containers are best suited to their upcoming projects. With years of theoretical and practical experience in the fields of container architecture and modular building, architect and professor Han Slawik and his team have established themselves as international experts in these fields."

    Series Statement: Basics typography (Vol. 01)
    Content: "Basics Typography: Virtual Typography addresses a fundamentally new form of typographical communication. The book explores the visual arrangement of words and letters in the context of multimedia. Here, this arrangement is not simply a spatial positioning of text information it is also bound by time. The increasing use of moving, virtual type can help to harmonise this time-based presentation of words on screen. The book touches on work from a variety of designers, including Channel 4 and Pentagram Design. This will provide an excellent introduction to the latest methods in typographical and visual communication."
    Content: "The Basics Typography series from AVA Publishing's Academia imprint offers an essential introduction to the subject of typography and the key elements that underpin it. Detailed studies of classical and contemporary work are used to support basic theories, making this an essential introduction to typography in all its forms. The first in the series, Virtual Typography examines visual data that appear in a near-typographical form. Typography is the translation of spoken word into print via a visual arrangement of words and letters. In the context of multimedia, this arrangement is not simply a spatial positioning of text - it is also bound by temporal progression. This book analyses the perception of this time-based type in the context of digital media. By conducting a wide range of case studies in the field of graphic design, motion graphics and digital communications, the book discusses how the visually stimulating effect of virtual typography can be deployed to counteract the ongoing acceleration of the written word in digital environments."
