Content: "Three hundred years ago, intellectuals of the European Enlightenment constructed a mythology of technology. Influenced by a confluence of humanism, colonialism, and racism, this mythology ignored local wisdom and indigenous innovation, deeming it primitive. Today, we have slowly come to realize that the legacy of this mythology is haunting us. Designers understand the urgency of reducing humanity's negative environmental impact, yet perpetuate the same mythology of technology that relies on exploiting nature. Responding to climate change by building hard infrastructures and favoring high-tech homogenous design, we are ignoring millennia-old knowledge of how to live in symbiosis with nature. Without implementing soft systems that use biodiversity as a building block, designs remain inherently unsustainable.Lo--TEK, derived from Traditional Ecological Knowledge, is a cumulative body of multigenerational knowledge, practices, and beliefs, countering the idea that indigenous innovation is primitive and exists isolated from technology. It is sophisticated and designed to sustainably work with complex ecosystems. With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and four chapters spanning Mountains, Forests, Deserts, and Wetlands, this book explores thousands of years of human wisdom and ingenuity from 20 countries including Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, India, and Indonesia. We rediscover an ancient mythology in a contemporary context, radicalizing the spirit of human nature."--

Content: "An exploration of the art of stage design through in-depth interviews with the world's designers. Each chapter focuses on a particular designer and contains images of their most famous productions alongside text explaining the entire creative process from initial ideas and sources of inspiration to the final design. The whole range of performing arts is covered, including theatre, opera and ballet."

Content: "The art of scenography for acting, opera and ballet is the focal point of this book. Tony Davies questioned 15 internationally-renowned Stage Designers - artists, architects and 3D Designers - about their concepts and methods. In detailed interviews they talk about their work: from the basic design to the performance. Sketches, plans and large format pictures allow a look into the fascinating pictorial world of Ralph Koltai (UK/Hungary), Richard Hudson (UK), David Hockney (USA), Ming Cho Lee (China), Adrianne Lobel (USA), Gunther Schneider-Siemssen (D), amongst many others. Stage Design is a source of information as well as inspiration: for all those that enjoy the world of theatre or are theatre professionals."

Uniform Title: Elements of architecture (Taschen (Firm))

Content: Elements of Architecture focuses on the fragments of the rich and complex architectural collage. Window, facade, balcony, corridor, fireplace, stair, escalator, elevator: the book seeks to excavate the micro-narratives of building detail. The result is no single history, but rather the web of origins, contaminations, similarities, and differences in architectural evolution, including the influence of technological advances, climatic adaptation, political calculation, economic contexts, regulatory requirements, and new digital opportunities. It's a guide that is long overdue-in Koolhaas's own words, "Never was a book more relevant-at a moment where architecture as we know it is changing beyond recognition."Derived, updated, and expanded from Koolhaas's exhaustive and much-lauded exhibition at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, this is an essential toolkit to understanding the fundamentals that comprise structure around the globe. Designed by Irma Boom and based on research from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the 2,600-page monograph contains essays from Rem Koolhaas, Stephan Trueby, Manfredo di Robilant, and Jeffrey Inaba; interviews with Werner Sobek and Tony Fadell (of Nest); and an exclusive photo essay by Wolfgang Tillmans.In addition to comprehensively updated texts and new images, this edition is designed and produced to visually (and physically) embody the immense scope of its subject matter: Custom split-spine binding: our printer modified their industrial binding machine to allow for the flexible, eight-centimeter thick spineContains a new introductory chapter with forewords, table of contents, and an index, located in the middle of the book (where it naturally opens due to its unique spine)Printed on 50g Opakal paper, allowing for the ideal level of opacity needed to realize Boom's palimpsest-like designTranslucent overlays and personal annotations by Koolhaas and Boom are woven in each chapter to create an alternative, faster route through the bookPrinted at the originally intended 100% size for full readability

Note: "A group of students from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, organized by Dean Mohsen Mostafavi, were engaged in a multi-year research studio in Rotterdam and Cambridge, which formed the basis for this book and the exhibition "Elements of architecture" at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale"--page 2437 , "Floor, ceiling, roof, door, wall, stair, toilet, window, façade, balcony, corridor, fireplace, ramp, escalator, elevator" -- Cover , Conceived by Rem Koolhaas and made with the Harvard Graduate School of Design
