The book—an anachronism in the digital age? You, the readers of this publishing program would not agree with this hasty assertion. And neither would we as publishers, nor our authors, artists, and the editors of our books. While new media will find their own importance and uses, the book will retain its merits and continue to develop them in a contemporary way. The analog sensation of the book is beyond any competition. Our focus in the creation of our titles is on the book as an object, its weight, and its material quality. The physical presentation, the presence of the book, continues to be the trusted and cultivated form of contact with the reader. In the bookshop, at exhibitions, in libraries. In this mediation considerations about the form and design of books are just as important as discussions about their content. We want to pay particular attention to this presence in our books and rely on your interest and our mutual support. Lars Müller

With an essay by Peter Sloterdijk Includes three fold-out pages The islands of Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea are places of pilgrimage for friends of contemporary art and architecture. Alongside works in public spaces as well as site-specific installations, the islands are also full of numerous museums and collections of contemporary art. This publication offers a comprehensive documentation of this unique cultural landscape surrounded by Japan’s Inland Sea. The photographs by the Dutch photographer Iwan Baan, ranging from tiny details to giant panoramas, create a comprehensive portrait of the islands with their fluid transitions between nature, art, and architecture. Numerous texts introduce readers to the individual areas and projects that are either permanently on display on the islands or have taken place there temporarily. In addition, other essays deal with the island as a cultural concept and phenomenon. Among others, the book presents buildings by Kazuyo Sejima, Ruye Nishizawa, Tadao Ando, and Hiroshi Sambuichi.

WhiCh Way is Paradise?

description of the terrestrial paradise also included four rivers flowing out of the garden — at least two of which were named as the two known rivers, Euphrates and Tigris — made locating it even more essential. Belief in the reality of paradise on earth has led generations of theologians and scholars to look for it in vain in Armenia near the headwaters of the Euphrates and Tigris, and even in Mesopotamia. The first century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus identified the third river Phison with the Ganges, and Gihon with the Nile. The fact that no common source could be found for the four rivers, poses a challenge that theologians and geographers have been grappling with ever since.10 How could rivers so far away from each other, like the Ganges and the Nile, originate in the Garden of Eden and how could they escape the flames that guarded the Garden? Philo Judaeus of Alexandria suggested that perhaps “Paradise is in some distant place far from our inhabited world, and has a river flowing under the earth.” Saint Augustine of Hippo ( 354– 430 ) also came up with an explanation: the rivers circumvented the flames by passing underground before they reemerged. Efforts to pinpoint the geographical location of the Garden of Eden are illustrated in the Christian mappae mundi, the world maps of the Middle Ages, which combined Christian cosmology with geography and history. Unlike the Ptolemaic map, which showed the uncharted parts of the world on a north-south axis, the terrestrial paradise of Christianity was to the east, with heaven above, so that the maps had to be on an east-west axis with the Garden
of Eden and India sitting atop the world. A thirteenth century mappa mundi shows the garden of Eden close to the Ganges as a simple square guarded by cherubim holding fiery swords. Although Egypt also had a divine river, it was not so close to earthly paradise as the Ganges in India. One of the most detailed mappa mundi was made in Ebstorf, northern Germany in 1239. It shows the Garden of Eden as a rectangle with Adam and Eve in the middle and the four rivers of paradise disappearing into the ground.11 The notion of the rivers passing underground led to yet another argument in favor of identifying the Ganges and the Nile as rivers of paradise. It was via these rivers that spices reached the common mortal’s world in the bazaars of Cairo and Venice. In the Judeo-Christian tradition fragrance has long been associated with divinity.12 ( Islamic heaven is also perfumed. ) The Three Magi visited the baby Jesus with offerings of frankincense and the oil of nard was used to wash his feet. It was believed that the Garden of Eden continued to produce fruit, fragrant flowers, and spices which found their way to the temporal world. A fourth century writer declared that marvelously scented unguents drip from the trees in the Garden of Eden. It was this fragrance that supplied all the nourishment Adam needed and he therefore had no need to eat. Father Philostorgius of Capadoccia writing in 425 said that if cloves were brought from India, it was because trees growing around river Phison — that is the Ganges — are offshoots of trees originally grown in paradise. Man could never enter the Garden but heavenly spices found their way out through the

Available September 2011 19 × 26 cm, 7 ½ × 10 ¼ in approx. 128 pages approx. 140 illustrations, hardcover ISBN 978-3-03778-259-0, English EUR 42.– GBP 45.– USD / CAD 65.–
Dan Graham, one of America’s most important contemporary artists, is best known today for his sculptural works and installations. His photographic works are generally not so well known, despite the fact that he first became famous for his photographic series, Homes for America, pictures of typical American suburbia in New Jersey. To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces represents an extremely important facet of his work, as does the question of what role it plays in postmodern society and in the context of everyday culture. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham, taken in the context of a study trip with the architecture faculty of Columbia University, together with a selection of original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures, because they were taken in the same locations, in the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham had photographed in the 1960s. This creates a fascinating reference system of repetitions and differences, in terms of both the temporal and the spatial, that asks questions of the viewer about architecture, public space, and their function in society.

Five North American Architects An Anthology by Kenneth Frampton In cooperation with GSAPP, Columbia University A view of North American Architecture by one of the most prominent experts in the field Includes contributions by Steven Holl, Rick Joy, John and Patricia Patkau, Stanley Saitowitz, Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe Available September 2011 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in approx. 240 pages approx. 100 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-256-9, English EUR 42.– GBP 45.– USD / CAD 50.–
Five North American Architects – An Anthology brings together five architectural practices which, while all distinct, share a particularly sensitive feeling for the impact of craftsmanship and climate on the generation of form, as well as an equally shared concern for the expressive tactility of material and the articulation of structure under the impact of light. The book is an in depth survey of recent work by Steven Holl (New York), Rick Joy (Tucson), John and Patricia Patkau (Vancouver), Stanley Saitowitz (San Francisco), and Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe (Toronto). The regional specificity of the work is considered against a larger North American context, allowing one to assess the practice of architecture across the continent today.

Studio Hannes Wettstein (Ed.) With contributions by Thomas Haemmerli and Max Küng Design: Prill & Vieceli First portrait of the renowned designer, Hannes Wettstein With its impressive pictorial diversity, the publication sheds light on the essence of Wettstein’s work Available September 2011 23 × 29 cm, 9 × 11 ½ in approx. 300 pages approx. 700 illustrations, hardcover ISBN 978-3-03778-265-1 English/German/Italian EUR 58.– GBP 60.– USD / CAD 85.–
Hannes Wettstein was one of the most innovative and influential designers in Switzerland. His products, furniture, and interior designs not only influence our everyday life, but also the way we understand design in the present day. In 2008 Wettstein died aged 50. For the first time his life’s work will now be celebrated and documented in a monograph. The publication presents images from Wettstein’s world—works, sketches, and personal objects. The essence of his work is palpable in their diversity and illustrates his design philosophy. The comprehensive catalog of works transforms the monograph into a reference work. Complemented by quotations and anecdotes from Wettstein’s life, and statements from personalities from the worlds of design and architecture, Seeking Archetypes forms a multi-layered portrait of an extraordinary designer. Hannes Wettstein (1958–2008) had completed an apprenticeship as a draughts-
man in structural engineering before he became a self-taught designer and architect. For a great many of his projects he received prestigious national and international prizes. Wettstein was a lecturer at various renowned European colleges and universities and acted repeatedly as a member of the jury for different design and architecture awards.

True Cities First major publication by Charlie Koolhaas Photographic portrait of the financial centers London, Guangzhou, Houston, Dubai, and Lagos
Available September 2011 approx. 19 × 26 cm, 7 ½ × 10 ¼ in approx. 240 pages approx. 200 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-261-3, English EUR 45.– GBP 45.– USD / CAD 70.–
True Cities is a photographic publication, a summary of ten years of Charlie Koolhaas’ research on global cities, to create a collage from a vast collection of images and words that have been collected from around the world. True Cities weaves a dense photographic patchwork of images of the historical financial centers London, Guangzhou, and Houston and of the emerging centers of commerce Dubai and Lagos. The book shows similarities and contradictions, structures and surfaces and relates to the people living there. True Cities will be part street photography, part raw documentary and energised observation. This will be Charlie Koolhaas’ first major publication documenting not only her visual exploration but accompanying literary dialogue and discussions. The book will demonstrate the way in which urban life forces us to conform to an endless array of cliches and mundane routines, whilst making us believe that we are living out our fantasies. Charlie Koolhaas (born in London, 1977) is a Dutch sociologist and artist. She
graduated from New York University in 1999. Her editorial career includes magazine work in New York and London.

Visual History of an Airline Jens Müller and Karen Weiland (Eds.) The fifth volume in the A5 series Comprehensive documentation on the Lufthansa brand identity
Available October 2011 14.8 × 21 cm, 5 ¾ × 8 ¼ in 128 pages approx. 300 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-267-5 German/English EUR 20.– GBP 20.– USD / CAD 35.–
Deutsche Lufthansa is one of the most important airlines in the world, with a long and diverse history that goes back to 1926. The visual identity of Lufthansa is just as long and diverse. The beginning of the 1960s saw one of the most important steps in the development of corporate communication. The company employed the designer Otl Aicher and his Gruppe E5 student group to develop a visual identity for Lufthansa. It was substantially realized in 1963 and up until the present day counts as one of the most groundbreaking corporate design solutions of the 20th century. With a focus on the famous brand identity, the design and advertising history of Deutsche Lufthansa from the 1920s to today is comprehensively documented here for the first time. This volume contains numerous illustrations from the corporate archive and background articles and interviews.

Posters lend themselves perfectly to serial display. The mediation of the message and of the identity of the advertiser is supported by the effects of recognition. However in contemporary advertising campaigns this awareness is only rarely used in imaginative and intelligent ways. This publication illustrates the creative and effective advertising potential of posters in series. What is vital here is that a design concept has been followed. By doing so a formal or content-driven approach is sensitively varied, with the posters in the series only slightly differing from one another. At the same time the free interpretation of a basic concept can lead to a wide and highly inspirational spectrum of interpre tations. What has been fundamental in the selection of campaigns for this book is the ability of the single poster to assert itself individually, while the fact that it belongs to a series is shown as being visually beneficial.

Martin Gasser Jakob Tuggener ( 1904–1988 ) kannte die Welt der Fabriken buchstäblich von innen. Ausgebildet als Maschinenzeichner bei der Zürcher Maag Zahnräder AG, wurde er im Zuge der Weltwirtschaftskrise Ende der 1920er-Jahre entlassen, worauf er sich seinen seit der Kindheit gehegten Traum, Künstler zu werden, mit einer Ausbildung an der Reimann-Schule in Berlin erfüllte.1 Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Schweiz begann er 1932 als freier Mitarbeiter für die Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon ( MFO ) zu arbeiten, vor allem für deren Hauszeitung mit dem programmatischen Titel Der Gleichrichter.2 Obwohl die Firma bereits einen eigenen Werkfotografen beschäftigte, betraute deren Direktor, Hans Schindler, Tuggener mit der Aufgabe, eine Art fotografische Innensicht des Betriebes zu erarbeiten, die via Der Gleichrichter die Kluft zwischen Arbeitern, Büroangestellten und Direktoren verkleinern sollte. Neben mehrteiligen Serien mit Titeln wie Was Arbeiter über ihre Arbeit sagen oder Köpfe aus Bureau und Werkstatt erschienen von Tuggener jedoch auch einseitige, montageartig angeordnete Bildreihen ohne Text von unbeachteten Szenen aus dem Fabrikalltag.3 Inspiriert waren diese kleinen Geschichten einerseits von Reportagen, wie sie damals in vielen illustrierten Zeitschriften üblich waren.4 Andererseits spielte bei Tuggener auch der Film eine wichtige Rolle. Unzählige Stummfilme, die er während der 1920er- und frühen 1930er-Jahre geradezu verschlungen hatte, beeinflussten seine fotografische Bildsprache, schärften sein Gefühl für Rhythmus und Dramaturgie von Bildfolgen und bestärkten seinen Glauben an die assoziative Kraft – entsprechend Sergej Eisensteins Theorie der Montage im Film –, die der Gegenüberstellung und Reihung von Fotografien innewohnt. Tuggener setzte dieses Prinzip der Montage jedoch nicht nur in seinen Reportagen und Filmen um, sondern vor allem im Medium Buch, das zu seiner hauptsächlichen fotografischen Ausdrucksform wurde. Bis zu seinem Tod 1988 komponierte er über sechzig druckfertige Buchmaquetten, das heisst als Bücher gebundene Bildfolgen von je über hundert meist ganz- oder doppelseitigen Originalfotografien, für die er jedoch nie einen Verleger fand. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er darauf bestand, dass seine «fotografischen Stummfilme», wie er sie nannte, unverändert und ganz ohne Text publiziert werden sollten. Als einzige Ausnahme erschien 1943 das Buch Fabrik, zu dem aber keine originale Buchmaquette bekannt ist, nur eine Art Vorläufer, eine 68-seitige Broschüre über die MFO, aus der Tuggener Fabrik entwickelte. Praktisch zeitgleich wie Fabrik produziert, mit zum Teil den gleichen Bildern, ist die MFO-Broschüre ein typisches Werkporträt, das ein vielfältiges, grundsätzlich positives Bild eines innovativen Industriebetriebs vermittelt, was schon durch das Titelbild des freundlich in die Kamera lächelnden Arbeiters angekündigt wird.5 Wie anders
Nomades du soleil ist das Ergebnis einer sechsmonatigen Reise, die der damals 32 Jahre alte Henry Brandt 1953 – begleitet von einem Führer, einem Dolmetscher und einem Koch – in die entlegenen Steppengebiete des nördlichen Niger unternahm. Der Auftrag zu dieser Expedition, für die er die feste, aber ungeliebte Lehrerstelle an einem Neuenburger Gymnasium aufgab, stammte vom örtlichen Musée d’ethnographie, dessen Direktor Jean Gabus Afrika selbst mehrfach als Ethnograf bereist hatte. Brandts Fahrt zu den Bororo, einem dem Volk der Peul angehörenden Hirtenstamm, der mit seinen Kuhherden die Sahelzone durchstreift, war bereits die achte Afrikamission des Neuenburger Museums. Mit einer Foto- und einer 16mm-Filmkamera ausgerüstet, sollte Brandt lebendige Bild- und Tondokumente nach Hause bringen, die dem Publikum anstelle «toter» Sammlungsstücke «des objets morts», S. 7 erlaubten, die exotischen Anderen besser zu verstehen und zu respektieren «de comprendre et respecter d’autres hommes», S. 7. Das notwendige Handwerkszeug hatte Brandt sich autodidaktisch angeeignet und, wie die Resultate zeigen, zum Antritt der Reise perfektioniert.

Während seiner Berliner Zeit verkürzt Tuggener seinen Vornamen zu «Jak». 2 Die Hauszeitschrift Der Gleichrichter. Nachrichtenblatt der M.F.O.-Familie war 1930 gegründet worden unter dem Motto «Ob Stift, ob Chef, ob arm, ob reich, hier drinnen ist ein jeder gleich!». 3 Zum Beispiel «’s Berti isch z’schbaat cho…», in: Der Gleichrichter, Nr. 4, 15.08.1936, S. 4–5, oder «5 Minute näch zwölfi. . .», in: Der Gleichrichter Nr. 4, 05.07.1937, S. 4–5. 4 Etwa auch in der Familienzeitschrift In freien Stunden ( Conzett und Huber ), in der Tuggener ab 1932 wiederholt publizierte. 5 Tuggener arbeitete ab ca. 1941 an beiden. Die MFO-Broschüre erschien im Frühling 1943, etwa zum gleichen Zeitpunkt, als Tuggener einen Verlagsvertrag für Fabrik unterschrieb ( 12.04.1943 ). Zum Thema Fabrik existieren zwei spätere originale Buchmaquetten: Schwarzes Eisen ( 1950 ) und Die Maschinenzeit ( 1951, beide Jakob Tuggener-Stiftung, Uster ). Zwei Buchmaquetten wurden posthum publiziert: Jakob Tuggener, Ballnächte 1934–1950, Scalo Verlag, Zürich, 2005, und Venedig 1954, Edition Buschö, Aarau, 2007. 6 Ursprünglich wollte Tuggener das Buch Schwarze Fabrik nennen, worauf sich Gauchats Umschlaggestaltung zu beziehen scheint. Gauchat arbeitete ab den frühen 1930er-Jahren auch mit Fotografien vor allem für den Eugen Rentsch resp. Rotapfel-Verlag. 7 Der Rotapfel-Verlag entwickelte sich um 1920 aus dem von Eugen Rentsch und Emil Roniger gegründeten Eugen Rentsch Verlag. Beide waren eher literarische Verlage, einer der wichtigsten Autoren war Romain Roland. Immer wieder wurden aber auch fotografische Bücher publiziert, so etwa verschiedene von Albert Steiner. 8 Das gleiche Bild erscheint in der MFO-Broschüre ( Nr. 21 ), hier aber ohne Spielzeugpüppchen. 9 1 .

Die parallel zu den Bewegtbildern entstandenen Fotos erschienen erst nach der Premiere des gleichnamigen und mehrfach ausgezeichneten Films 1956 im Lausanner Bücherclub «La Guilde du Livre». Während sich in den nahezu gleichzeitig veröffentlichten Afrikabüchern Yallah1 von Peter W. Haeberlin und Afrika 2 von Emil Schulthess die Abfolge der Bilder an der Reiseroute der Fotografen orientiert, ordnet sich Nomades du soleil ganz der nomadischen Lebensweise der Bororo unter, die den Zyklen der Natur gehorcht. Der Band gliedert sich in insgesamt drei Abschnitte, die jeweils von einer Doppelseite eingeleitet werden, mit einem vollformatigen Porträt rechts und der Überschrift vor schwarzem Grund links. Das erste Kapitel – «Ceux qui viennent d’ailleurs» [Die von woanders herkommen] – umreisst Herkunft und Existenzgrundlage der Bororo, Kapitel zwei und drei folgen dem Wechsel von Trocken- und Regenzeit ( «Le temps de l’herbe jaune» / «Le temps de l’herbe verte» ), der als wiederkehrendes Muster das Leben der Wanderhirten bestimmt.

In seinen Bildern wie im selbst verfassten Begleittext erweist sich Brandt als gleichermassen zurückhaltender und respektvoller Beobachter. Während in anderen Afrikabüchern jener Zeit – so beim Berner Reiseschriftsteller und Fotografen René Gardi – mitunter die alten Stereotypen einer kolonialen Weltsicht durchschlagen,3 lässt Brandt sich unvoreingenommen auf die manchmal befremdlichen Riten und Bräuche der Bororo ein und versucht sie nach Art eines Feldforschers präzise zu beschreiben. Auch als Fotograf wahrt er eine respektvolle Distanz. Die Aufnahmen – grösstenteils Landschaften und Porträts – sind

«Groebli sieht auf eine Art, wie nie zuvor gesehen wurde; er stellt Dinge dar, wie er sie selber noch nie gesehen hat», schrieb der niederländische Fotograf Aart Klein in seinem Vorwort zu Variation (S. 5). René Groebli hatte zunächst bei –> Magie der Schiene (1949) die Schwarzweißfotografie um einen Ausdruck von Bewegungsdynamik und Reiseerlebnis zu erweitern gesucht, indem er gegen alle fototechnische Präzision spontan aus der Situation heraus oder mit vorhandenem Licht fotografierte und dabei nicht nur ungewohnte Bilder fand, sondern auch Stimmungen evozierte. Auf einer Reise nach London kam er dann 1951 in Kontakt mit der Agentur Black Star, was unverhofft eine kurze, international erfolgreiche Praxis als Fotoreporter in Kriegs- und Krisengebieten des Nahen und Mittleren Ostens sowie Afrikas auslöste, mit Publikationen unter anderem in Life und Picture Post. Ausgerechnet aufgrund solcher journalistischen Schwarzweissaufnahmen erhielt er 1953 von der Firma F. Hoffmann-La Roche & Cie. seinen ersten Industrieauftrag für Werkfotografien: Nachdem eine französische Konkurrenz Künstler in ihre Werbekampagne einbezogen hatte, wollte das Pharmawerk seinerseits beim eigenen visuellen Auftritt neue Wege mit Au-

Und jetzt, 2011, sei clic 3 in Produktion, wie zu hören ist. Die sagenhafte Nummer 1 ist konzipiert und gestaltet von Ursi und Bernhard Luginbühl, von Leonardo Bezzola und Roberto Medici. Ein solches Foto- und Kunstbuch hatte die Schweiz bisher noch nicht vorgesetzt bekommen. Repros Marti, Hinterkappelen, Gesamtherstellung Stämpfli, Bern. Wie es sich für die vielen ehemaligen Retoucheure gehört, von denen manche zu Künstlern avancierten – darunter auch unser Bezzola –, ist der Band wunderbar sorgfältig belichtet und gedruckt, sattes Schwarz auf holzhaltig-mattem Papier. Und wie ist es fotografiert? Da herrscht natürlich nicht die Ästhetik des perfekten Einzelfotos, obwohl es darunter solche auch gibt – und nicht einmal wenige –, sondern der spontane Augenblick. Hans Finsler, der auch drin vorkommt, wäre kaum damit einverstanden gewesen, auch nicht die Berner FotoGrössen Paul Senn oder Kurt Blum. Schnappschüsse, «clics». Alle von sprü-

For most people locations that hold a particular importance for the development of our society and for the advancement of science and technology often remain hidden from view. They are separate and protected, such as CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, close to the city of Geneva. CERN is best known for its giant particle accelerator. Here researchers from around the world take part in a diverse array of fundamental physical research, in the pursuit of knowledge that will perhaps one day revolutionize our understanding of the universe and life on our planet. The Swiss photographer Andri Pol mixed with this multicultural community of researchers and followed their work over an extended period of time. In doing so he created a unique portrait of this fascinating “underworld.” The cutting-edge research is given a human face and even if we don’t fully understand the processes at work, the pictures allow us to perceive how in this world of the tiniest particles the biggest connections are searched for. With an explanatory text and scientific- philosophical essay. In his books Andri Pol (born 1961) seeks out the remarkable in the everyday. In his newest book, Where is Japan, Pol casts a sharp eye on the reality of Japan beyond European projections of the Far East. He has received multiple awards for his reportage work.

Klaus Merkel has been photographing stones, rocky landscapes and trees for over thirty years, which he pairs up in double pictures. He portrays the astounding harmony between the animate and the inanimate, between natural and designed manifestations. Fascinating affinities become visible when he shows the limestone blocks of the Great Pyramid of Giza alongside basalt cliffs in Northern Ireland, and the cultivated lime-tree walkway of a castle grounds next to the nave of a cathedral. As the forest of figures and pinnacles of Milan Cathedral is placed next to the sandstone columns of Bryce Canyon, fascinating connections between natural form and art emerge. The book thus invites the reader to examine and compare the multiple similarities of the surfaces’ structures of natural as well as artificial objects. Klaus Merkel, born in 1940, has worked as an artist in Mexico, Spain, and Berlin

“The buzz word is swarm intelligence, which has acquired an unforeseen reality in the era of Facebook and Twitter. The behavior of a collective without a center has become a social phenomenon. [. . .] Lukas Felzmann invites us to read the symbol of birds as aesthetic figures, as a language of the unconscious.” (Peter Pfrunder in his contribution to the book) Swarm is an extensive series on the flock movements of migrating birds. His breathtaking photographs offer a unique view of the beauty but also the complexity and diversity of shape variations. This aerial ballet has a rhythm of upward explosion and downward fall to rest. Sometimes the forms would explode, blooming like plants or fireworks. At other times they seemed more stable, slowly drifting like constellations of negative stars. Swarm looks up into the sky and follows flight through the dynamic landscape of air currents. Lukas Felzmann was born in Zürich in 1959. After leaving school and training
as a primary school teacher he moved to the USA to study art. He works as a freelance artist in San Francisco and teaches photography at Stanford University. His work has been exhibited in Switzerland, Germany, the USA, and Egypt.

telehor. Internationale Zeitschrift für visuelle Kultur Facsimile Reprint and Commentary Klemens Gruber and Oliver Botár (Eds.) Reprint of the legendary special edition of the telehor magazine about László Moholy-Nagy on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its publication Key texts on modern photography and film-theory
Available August 2011 21 × 29.7 cm, 8 ¼ × 11 ¾ in 138 pages, 56 illustrations spiral binding (reprint), paperback (commentary) in slipcase ISBN 978-3-03778-253-8 German/English/French/Czech EUR 50.– GBP 50.– USD / CAD 75.–
In 1936 the first and only issue of the magazine telehor (Greek for tele-vision) was released in four languages, as a special edition on and by László Moholy-Nagy. To celebrate its 75-year anniversary a facsimile reprint of the magazine will be produced, accompanied by a commentary volume. The reprint makes the magazine accessible again in terms of its artistic and theoretical-historical dimensions. Particular attention has been paid to the production process. Thus the volume appears spiral-bound, an ultramodern technique in the mid-1930s. The commentary contains an editorial statement that places the magazine, telehor, in the context of the art and media of the 1920s and 1930s and unlocks the position of the artistic avant-garde at the intersection of two epochs. László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) is one of the central figures of the European
avant-garde. His move from Budapest through Vienna to Berlin, his call to the Bauhaus in Weimar/Dessau by Gropius in 1923, his flight from the Nazis first to the Netherlands, then to London, and finally to Chicago, where he became director of the “New Bauhaus” and founded the “School of Design”, all these stations set the horizon for his poly-artistic research.

René Schwarzenbach, Christian Rentsch, Klaus Lanz, and Lars Müller (Eds.) In cooperation with the Department of Environmental Sciences, ETH Zürich This visual reader offers a new approach to explaining climate change and making the topic accessible to a wider public Continues the series of our well-known bestsellers The Face of Human Rights and Who Owns the Water? This visual reader sheds light on climate change on the basis of reportage, case studies, and striking image sequences. Presented alongside chapters on the history of the earth and of climate and on the “climate engines” (solar energy, greenhouse gases, and global warming) are both the consequences of climate change and the political strategies designed to combat it. In the foreground are existential problems as formulated by the Millennium Developmental Goals: poverty and hunger, health and underdevelopment, but also the interdependency between climate change, economics, and politics. Unavoidable in this context as well are problems related to migration, megacities, and ethical questions of human rights, equity, and solidarity. For Climate’s Sake! addresses these questions rationally, at the same time evoking an emotional response.

Ungewöhnlich heftige Regenfälle im Frühling und Sommer verursachten in verschiedenen Landesteilen Chinas Dammbrüche, Erdrutsche und schwere Überschwemmungen. Mehrere hundert Menschen starben, Millionen mussten vor den Wassermassen fliehen. Im Juli schwoll der Yangtse so stark an, dass der grösste Staudamm der Welt, der Drei-Schluchten-Damm, in Gefahr geriet: Bis zu 100 000 Kubikmeter schlammigen Wassers mussten pro Sekunde abgelassen werden, um den bis zur Kapazitätsgrenze gefüllten Stausee zu entlasten. Dies führte zu schweren Überschwemmungen am Unterlauf des Yangtse. Miao Qiunao / Keystone
Wochenlange Hitze und Dürre führten in weiten Teilen Russlands zu Waldbränden. Im August standen Wald und Torf auf einer Fläche von 9000 Quadratkilometern in Flammen, mindestens fünfzig Dörfer brannten vollständig nieder. Selbst Städte waren bedroht, hier Wyksa, 500 Kilometer östlich von Moskau. Anfang August war auch die Hauptstadt in dicken, giftigen Rauch gehüllt. Die Behörden forderten die Menschen auf, in den Wohnungen zu bleiben und Fenster und Türen geschlossen zu halten. Laut offiziellen Angaben stieg die Sterblichkeit in Moskau gegenüber dem Vorjahr um knapp 70 Prozent. Nikolay Sinev / Ria Novosti

Eine Hitzewelle mit Temperaturen von über 40 Grad Celsius und ausbleibende Regenfälle führten im Juli und August zum Ausbruch schwerer Waldbrände in Portugal, hier im Weiler Bouça in der Gemeinde Manhouces bei São Pedro do Sul. Tausende Hektar einzigartiger, ökologisch bedeutsamer Pinien-, Eukalyptus- und Korkeichenwälder wurden zerstört. Zwar hat Portugal jedes Jahr mit Waldbränden zu kämpfen, im Juli 2010 wüteten jedoch rund 600 Brände, so viele wie seit fünf Jahren nicht mehr. Rafael Marchante / Reuters 186

Strassen und Brücken wurden mitgerissen, über 1,7 Millionen Häuser beschädigt; Millionen Menschen wurden in die Flucht getrieben, hier im Distrikt Muzaffargarh im Punjab. Pakistans UN-Botschafter Haroon schätzte, dass 15 bis 25 Prozent der Ernte vernichtet wurden. Die Zerstörungen an der Infrastruktur werfen das Land in seiner wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung weit zurück.

Green roofs, artificial mountains and geological forms; buildings you walk on or over; networks of ramps and warped surfaces; buildings that carve into the ground or landscapes lifted high into the air: all these are commonplace in architecture today. New technologies, new design techniques and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a re-thinking of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground. The book Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice: not as a crossdisciplinary phenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies, and technical problems within architecture. Stan Allen is the Dean of the School of Architecture / Princeton University, and the
owner and principal of SAA / Stan Allen Architect in New York. Marc McQuade is an architect at Adjaye Associates in New York.

Touch Me! The Mystery of the Surface bof! Benutzeroberfläche Professorial Chair, ETH Zürich (Eds.) A book about the depth of the surface
Available June 2011 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in approx. 240 pages appox. 500 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-229-3, English ISBN 978-3-03778-254-5, German EUR 30.– GBP 30.– USD / CAD 50.–
Based on his work at the ETH Zürich, Gregor Eichinger calls for a serious discussion about the architectural user interface. This intensive discussion revolves around ideas including how surfaces open up deep-seated secrets, how time is carefully inter woven within them, what alchemy has to do with architecture, why a good bar has to be a sketch, how one reads ornament, why we no longer look up at the ceiling, why cleanliness gets in the way of everything, how architecture is created from the inside, and much, much more. The text of this conversation is interwoven with a variety of related quotations and complemented by a sensuous series of images, which deals with the formative relationship between architectural surfaces and people. Prof. G regor E ichinger runs an architecture practice in Vienna and was
professor of architecture and design at the ETH Zürich from 2004 to 2010.
E berhard Tröger is an architect and taught in professor Eichinger’s department
at the ETH Zürich until 2010.

Architectural Papers V concentrates on the new conditions for architectural practice and the epistemologies that may inform it now that the financial bubble has collapsed and living and working conditions have significantly changed. Essays, studies, and interviews, along with a selection of illustrative projects, tackle the actual issues of growth and shrinking, economy and ideology, craftsmanship and social space in the city, and materiality and sustainability in architecture. The Architectural Papers series covers a wide range of topics related to teaching and architectural culture in general, and is aimed at expanding the narrow boundaries of the discipline. Established in 2005, the series is edited by Chair Prof. Dr. Josep Lluís Mateo at ETH Zürich.

Buckminster Fuller Reprints Edited by Jaime Snyder R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 –1983) was an architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome, and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. For more than five decades, he set forth his comprehensive perspective on the world’s problems in numerous essays, which offer an illuminating insight into the intellectual universe of this renaissance man. These texts remain surprisingly topical even today, decades after their initial publication. Long out of print, they are now being published again, together with commentary by Jaime Snyder, the grandson of Buckminster Fuller. Designed for a new generation of readers, Snyder prepared these editions with supplementary material providing background on the texts, factual updates, and interpretation of his visionary ideas.
