Bringing together several texts by Jost Hochuli himself, contributions by well- known figures (including a preface by John Morgan and an interview with Robin Kinross) and a corpus of previously unpublished archival images, this monograph aims to raise interest in book design, and especially the inspirations and personalities that marked out the designer’s career. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions B42","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46486232432860,"sku":"S05415","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/typobiogarphy-josthocul-thewolof.jpg?v=1744936604"},{"product_id":"vitruvius-without-text-the-biography-of-a-book","title":"Vitruvius Without Text: The Biography Of A Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘De architectura’, written by Vitruvius in the first century BCE, is revered as the first treatise on architectural theory.

By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium sites.

Smith (1928-2021) was an artist from New Jersey whose textiles and ceramics were produced by some of Scandinavia's biggest design firms during the heyday of post-war modernism. One of the few Black artists of his generation to successfully collaborate with industry, he brought exuberant color to curtain design and decorated his ceramics with a unique pictorial language that fused abstract forms with African symbols. In his studio work, Smith did it all: painting, sculpture, drawing, assemblage, screen-printing, ceramics, and collage. He adapted army field jackets into wall sculpture, contrived shamanistic masks from vintage hats, and elevated the humble paper cut into high art with elaborate compositions. Smith had over 40 solo exhibitions during his life. Yet, because he emigrated to Finland in 1962, he is unknown to all but a small group of design connoisseurs in the United States. His unique body of work is the product of an artist contending with the grand historical forces of his time: racism, modernism, cold-war ideology, and the African diaspora.

This volume, with its detailed portraits of the three companies, explores the history behind these typefaces and the historical context in which they were produced. When all three factories closed in the 1990s, most of their archives were destroyed. As a result, this research quickly turned into a very detailed investigation aiming to document this period of history by means of primary sources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Triest Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605970731228,"sku":"26A015","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/NEW-WI20259556.jpg?v=1772068380"},{"product_id":"onishimaki-hyakudayuki-o-h-architecture-a-place-to-be-loved","title":"onishimaki+hyakudayuki ⁄ o+h: Architecture, a place to be loved","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis book is a collection of works by onishimaki+hyakudayuki \/ o+h, an architectural design firm led by the acclaimed young architects Maki Onishi and Yuki Hyakuda.

Examining this complex city through a series of case studies of its built environment, this book tells of an urban reality where migration is especially prevalent. Essays, photographs, and drawings illustrate the impact of migration on space, architecture, and territory.

At the turn of the twentieth century, a lack of water resources threatened to stall the growth of Los Angeles. The city began diverting water from the Owens River, which led to the eventual desiccation of Owens Lake and much of the surrounding valley. Todd Stewart (US) pairs his photographs of the region with select archival images, creating a complex visual map that the writing and notes of Robert Bailey (US) further deepen. If water is life, then 'The Course of Water' shows what happens when life is deferred. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Eriskay Connection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606449078492,"sku":"26W227","price":55.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/NEW-WI20259576.jpg?v=1772143911"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/collections\/NL_03_07_2026_Collage_Spread2.jpg?v=1772583365","url":"https:\/\/stoutbooks.com\/collections\/weekly-newsletter-03-07-26\/format-hardcover.oembed","provider":"William Stout Architectural Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
