Download or read book Richard Sapper written by Michael Webb and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a designer who has never been short of ideas. Lucid in concept, elegant in their restraint, Sapper's objects represent the standard against which functional design is held. Over the course of his career, Sapper has designed just about everything, from cars to flatware to televisions. Having studied philosophy, graphic arts, engineering, and economics, he puts a deftly erudite slant on all sorts of domestic objects, from tea kettles that mellifluously trill to brightly colored children's stacking chairs.

Download or read book Richard Sapper, Edited by Jonathan Olivares written by Jonathan Olivares and published by Phaidon Press. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth study of the work of German-born industrial designer Richard Sapper, most famous for designs such as the Tizio lamp and the Brionvega radio. Richard Sapper (1932-2015) a German-born designer who was based in Milan most of his working career, is considered one of the most important designers of his generation. Within his lifetime, he received numerous international design accolades, including ten prestigious Compasso d'Oro awards. Sapper developed and designed a wide variety of products, ranging from ships and cars, to computers and electronics as well as furniture and kitchen appliances. His clients included Alessi, Artemide, B&B Italia, Brionvega, FIAT, Heuer, Kartell, Knoll, IBM, Lenovo, Lorenz Milano, Magis, Molteni, Pirelli and many others. This investigation of Sapper's work, based on over forty hours of interviews with the designer Jonathan Olivares, studies his objects, the circumstances that shaped them and the resulting ideals that emerge. The inter-generational conversation explores themes that reoccur throughout Sapper's oeuvre, and which have a particular importance for a younger generation of designers and those with a desire to understand Sapper's work from a fresh perspective. An illustrated timeline, packed with images from Sapper's personal archives, reveals the incredible variety and technical brilliance of his work. Richard Sapper died in Milan on 31 December 2015. Designed by SM Associati, the agency of Marco Velardi from Apartamento magazine, the book opens with an image essay featuring candid commissioned photography by Ramak Fazel.
Book Synopsis Sapper Martin by : Richard van Emden
Download or read book Sapper Martin written by Richard van Emden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert John ('Jack') Martin was a thirty-two-year-old clerk at the Admiralty when he was called up to serve in the army in September 1916. These diaries, written in secret, hidden from his colleagues and only discovered by his family after his return home, present the Great War with heartbreaking clarity, written in a voice as compelling and distinctive as Wilfred Owen or Siegfried Sassoon and all the more extraordinary given that it is not an officer's but that of a private. From his arrival in France and his participation in the Somme, through offensives at Ypres and eventual demobilisation after the Armistice, we see wartime life as it really was for the ordinary Tommy. In these journals, introduced and edited by bestselling First World War historian Richard van Emden, we witness the cheerful Albert Martin getting to grips with life in the trenches and, together with his comrades in the Royal Engineers, confronting the ever-present threat of injury and death. We also see the mundane reality of life at the front line - the arguments with superiors, the joy brought by the arrival of packages from loved ones at home and the appalling conditions in which that attritional war was fought.

Book Synopsis The Soldier's War by : Richard van Emden
Download or read book The Soldier's War written by Richard van Emden and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 2008 sees the 90th anniversary of the end of the Great War, 'the war to end all wars' that still haunts and fascinates in equal measure. Richard van Emden's new book tells that story as never before through the words and pictures of the men who were there. The Soldier's War includes incredible never-published-before letters and photographs to reveal the true stories of a lost generation. The Soldier's War traces the war chronologically, taking stories from each year of the fighting and following the British Tommy through devastating battles and trench warfare to the armistice in 1918. The book also reflects on other lesser-known and more personal aspects of the war, such as the work of stretcher-bearers, army chaplains, and burial parties. Each chapter will begin with an exploration of the soldiers' post-war attitudes to an emotive and controversial aspects of the conflict. What were their attitudes towards the enemy? What did the troops at the front line really think about their generals? Did they remember their time in the war with any fondness? Central to The Soldier's War are the original and as-yet-unseen photographs that punctuate the narrative. Many soldiers carried lightweight VPK cameras (Vest Pocket Kodaks) and used them (illegally) to photograph the war as it unfolded. Between seventy-five and a hundred remarkable images will for the first time show trench-warfare as it really happened.

Book Synopsis Clubland Heroes by : Richard Usborne
Download or read book Clubland Heroes written by Richard Usborne and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This evocative study brings us back to the world of Buchan, 'Sapper' and Dornford Yates: the world of the British Empire, in which leisured London clubmen waged a peacetime Great Game of war against cads, crooks and beastly foreigners. The rules of the game were those of the public school, the stakes usually high--often Civilization itself. In these pages we can follow Hannay from Portland Place to Galloway and to the Black Sea, Bulldog Drummond from Mayfair to his last round, in the airship, with Carl Peterson, and Berry & Co from White Ladies in Hampshire to the Pyrenees and beyond. When it was first published, Clubland Heroes was recognized as a classic of its kind. This reissue--freshly revised and corrected in 1983--gives a new generation of readers the chance to meet the stift-upper-lip officer-class heroes of a bygone world."--Back cover.

Book Synopsis The History of Coffee in Guatemala by : Regina Wagner
Download or read book The History of Coffee in Guatemala written by Regina Wagner and published by Villegas Asociados. This book was released on 2001 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After it emerged as a market commodity in the 18th century, coffee was easily adapted to cultivation in the highlands of Central America. Guatemala in particular has relied on coffee cultivation as a part of its economic identity: it has been a premier export crop for over 300 years. The importance of coffee to the country lies in the large labour investment in each stage of production. The book covers agricultural, social, and cultural aspects of coffee culture in Guatemala in old photographs, charts, tables and maps. Wagner's work shows how Guatemala has met the economic complexity to which this product is subject, and why coffee remains the solid foundation crop of the country today.

Book excerpt: Design today is a global instrument. Bernhard Bürdek traces the progress of design from its beginnings in the late 19th century, through the most significant movements of the 20th century up to those recent developments in biological engineering which will shape the 21st century. Design is now a discipline in its own right and its expertise can be incorporated within interdisciplinary processes. The most important fundamental principles of design theory and methodology are presented, looking in particular at the communicative function of products and highlighting aspects such as corporate and service design, design management, strategic design, interface/interaction design and human design.
