Moirémotion
Gift guide for Christmas: If you're on the search for a great gift, we can recommend "Moirémotion" by Takahiro Kurashima. The abstract graphic patterns start to move as soon as the reader overlays them with the special foil enclosed in the book: morié-effects create complex shapes, make circles start to spin, and let graphic patterns vibrate. Moirémotion is a school of vision and offers contemplative recreation for our eyes. Start your own search for new forms with this book.

NEW RELEASE: "The Delos Symposia and Doxiadis," the first comprehensive publication on the history and legacy of a groundbreaking series of events in the 1960s and 1970s, dedicated to rethinking and reshaping the built environment to solve the planet’s environmental and demographic problems, is out now. The Delos Symposia, choreographed around the charismatic Greek architect-planner Constantinos Doxiadis, was run according to ancient Greek practices of the “sympósion”, with banquets, dancing, and fancy dress parties taking place aboard cruise ships in the Aegean Sea. These meetings attracted some of the greatest minds of that time as diverse as Margaret Mead, Siegfried Giedion, Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Ward, Kenzō Tange, Jaqueline Tyrwhitt and Marshall McLuhan. The publication, edited by Mantha Zarmakoupi and Simon Richards and co-published by Evangelos Pistiolis Foundation, explores their ideals, commitments and fights, and the lessons they might offer for contemporary thinking on sustainable development.

Lukas Felzmann Across Ground
Lukas Felzmann's two-volume photobook "Across Ground" is a poetic exploration of the intersection of nature and culture in Californias landscape.
Photographer and journalist Urs Tillmanns writes in the Swiss online magazine for photography, Fotointern: "Both portfolios express Felzmann's typical photographic style, in which he focuses on the details of the motif, thereby making the essential the content of his images. [...] With his decelerated photographic style, Lukas Felzmann shows us a kind of landscape photography that can be taken as a role model."

39 Gartenpläne
NEUERSCHEINUNG: «39 Gartenpläne: Ungewöhnliche Gärten für ein gewöhnliches Haus», herausgegeben von Jonathan Stimpfle, Case Studio Vogt, bietet die Chance, einen der bedeutensten Lanschafts- und Gartenarchitekten des 20. Jahrhunderts wieder neu zu entdecken.
Das Haus und der Garten sind Grundsteine unserer urbanisierten Landschaft und prägen unsere alltägliche Umwelt, jedoch stellen Individualisierungstendenzen, Extremwetterereignisse, Digitalisierungs- und Privatisierungsprozesse die zeitgenössische Freiraumplanung vor grosse Herausforderungen. Bereits Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts skizzierte und realisierte der dänische Landschaftsarchitekt C. Th. Sørensen alternative Entwurfskonzepte, die bis heute relevant geblieben sind. «39 Gartenpläne» ist eine deutsche Neuauflage von Sørensens konzeptionellem Grundlagenwerk und ist um präziese Einschübe zu landschaftsarchitektonischen Entwurfstheorien und -strategien von Günther Vogt erweitert.
