Here, There, Everywhere Droog Design
Droog 2014 ISBN 9789090281735 Acqn 23721
Pb 24x31cm 224pp 170ills 120col 41

'Here, There, Everywhere' explores the value of dead stock, of downloadable design, of copying
as a design method, of a self-invented service mentality typical of Manhattan, of the lack of an
explicit national identity inherent to Belgium, of the Russian love for bling, of an alternative
economy where materials become more expensive, and more. From the future of nomadic living
to imaginary brands, economic zones and societies, this book is a snapshot of realistic and
imaginative findings by Droog Lab in collaboration with designers, architects and thinkers
including Winy Maas, Metahaven, Jurgen Bey, Richard Hutten, Theo Deutinger, Mieke Gerritzen,
Erik Kessels and others.

Conditioned By Dress - The Relationship Between Mind, Fashion, Film And Performance
ArtEZ Press 2014 ISBN 9789491444159 Acqn 23758
Pb 16x24cm 128pp 64ills 59col 26

The first monograph dedicated to the work of filmmaker Anna-Nicole Ziesche, this publication
offers an in-depth look at her highly original body of trans-disciplinary work, which marks a new
point of departure for fashion design research. Ziesche graduated in London as a fashion
designer, and has since engaged in an examination of research practices that surpass the
traditional boundaries assigned to the disciplines of art and design. Using the dynamic media of
performance, film and animation, she reveals the continuously evolving designs and shapes of
garments on the body, questioning the nature of our relationship with fashion and how this
shapes self-identity.

Kindred Spirits (Strategic Creativity Series)
Design Academy Eindhoven 2014 ISBN 9789491400124 Acqn 23759
Pb 15x21cm 80pp 23ills 13col 10.75

Kindred Spirits is a project by Susana Cmara Leret, Research Associate at Design Academy
Eindhoven, and part of the G-motiv project within CRISP (Creative Industry Scientific
Programme). This publication brings together a range of perspectives that emerge when
designing with young addicts and healthcare professionals in a rehabilitation clinic, something
that requires a deep understanding of the everyday situations they face. Aiming to go beyond the
mundane to achieve more speculative or uncharted ends, it documents how the conception of a
set of smells influenced the youths treatment, allowing participants to see and discuss their
environment in new ways.

Resolutions - Responsibility In Graphic Design
Aalto 2013 ISBN 9789526051581 Acqn 23760
Pb 15x22cm 192pp 100ills 50col 24.95

The idea for this book was born in a course that looked at responsibility in graphic design.
Examining what responsibility means to someone working in the field, to the community, to the
client and to our planet, it emerges that social design is a core concern. Visual communication is
understood worldwide, and is also the language of the designer. Envisioned and created by a
team of students at Aalto ARTS, the collaborative project finds special relevance in the slogan,
Think global, act local. Filled with diverse illustrations, case studies and conversations, it delves
into the many values and actions inherent in living a responsible and contemporary life.
