The Dutch Look At A House

Corraini Editore 2021 ISBN 9788875708412 Acqn 31820
Pb 22x22cm 40pp col ills £16.95

At first glance a children's book, Jeane D'aam's illustrated story is actually an introduction to
modern Dutch architecture. Everything starts with a square. A square can be rotated, doubled,
divided in two, and then again in four. Its corners can then be cut, stretched, and more. One page
at a time, the shape of a house begins to appear. The Dutch, however, love houses with low roofs
in the countryside, so these shapes change again to become hexagonal. In cities, on the other
hand, a lot of rectangular houses are needed, perhaps joined together by a bridge. Finally, by
adding doors, windows, and a touch of colour, this series of geometric shapes turns into perfect
Dutch houses.

Lecturis 2021 ISBN 9789462264106 Acqn 31821
Hb 20x28cm 214pp col ills £30.95

The Netherlands consists of 352 municipalities, each with its own history, character, habits, and
even dialects. Sometime after Amit Biswas moved to the Netherlands in 2011, he became curious
about the meaning behind the logo of Eindhoven, where he lived. This soon became a full-on
investigation of all the municipality logos of the Netherlands. This book tells about the origin and
meaning of each logo and explains the shapes, forms, and colours that have been carefully
designed and visualised in each one. For the first time in Dutch history, 'Logo Land' compiles all
the logos that many take for granted and illuminates their fascinating stories in a superbly
researched effort.

Mark Gowing - Inside The Oblong

Formist Editions 2021 ISBN 9780648596356 Acqn 31817
Pb 17x24cm 288pp col ills £44.50

Spanning two decades of work, this portrait of leading Australian designer Mark Gowing's
uncompromising process features posters for commercial clients, exhibitions, film, music, and his

He examines varying levels of typographic and cultural coding, while also pushing the boundaries
of his craft. The book features an essay by John L. Walters, editor of 'Eye' magazine, in which he
discusses Gowing's belief that the process of good poster design can uncover new visual
languages.

Richdig By Wiedemann & Mettler

Everyedition 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31866
Hb 17x24cm 112pp col ills £41.75

Pascale Wiedemann and Daniel Mettler present 'Richdig', published with their intervention at the
Jelmoli department store in Zurich (October 2021). At the site, nineteen shop windows display a
word in cursive writing. The design is orange neon on a light blue background, while each word is
a maximum of 250 centimetres wide and dances restlessly in the imaginary heaven of products.
The words are nouns and adjectives, German and English. They are words used in everyday life
or short messages, but there are also words that describe a quality. All are slightly misspelled, but
in such a way that it does not necessarily change their pronunciation. A minor shift in reality.
