 Item
Identifier: CC-30628-32068
Scope and Contents

Simon Cutts, publisher and poet, writes in an introduction, "It is by now difficult to substantiate any single definition of a book as made by an artist, and indeed this very issue may have been surpassed...These new books attempt to synthasise text, image, material, method of production and context into a unified single work. When this succeeds, the book functions as a primary form." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Stadtplan: Dreiundvierzig Typographische Bauprojekte / Hoffmann, Sandra ; Stahli, Christoph ; Gisi, Peter., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-31148-32616
Scope and Contents

The authors have taken the same brief dream-like story about a man or boy named Luis and re-created it in a series of urban rhythms and structures. According to text on the order card, letters, words, sentences, and black and white elements can be the building blocks of new parks and red-light districts, apartment and office buildings, stores and industrial centers, new city fringes and suburbs - a journey through typographical inner, intemediate and outer spaces. Although this book is designed in an exemplary manner, I did not find that their premise was supported by the images. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
