Edited by Jane Withers Studio, Social Sauna - Bathing and Wellbeing presents a new perspective
on global sauna culture, ritual and design. By defining the sauna's essence and exploring how
this practice is evolving for the 21st century, the authors reveal how sauna is a deeply social
practice that can offer renewed benefits for health, wellbeing, and community. Social Sauna
explores sauna culture from ancient global traditions of steam bathing through to modern
experimental sauna practices. The publication reveals the important role that design plays in
creating spaces that contribute to wellbeing. With examples such as the Bathing Culture sauna in
Gothenburg by architects raumlabor, the Agora sauna created for the nomadic SALT festival and
Steam of Life by JKMM Architects for Burning Man Festival. Creatives such as Bauhaus Sauna
Society observe sauna traditions and stage sauna lectures and workshops, developing their own
rituals with a deep respect for the vernacular spirit.

A Magazine #21 - Curated by Lucie and Luke Meier (REPRINT)

A Publisher 2020 ISBN 9789077745229 Acqn 30706
Pb 23x30cm 242pp col ill £58

The co-creative directors of the German fashion house Jil Sander were tasked with curating this
issue. Lucie and Luke Meier approached their assignment as a call for reflection and an open
dialogue on the dualities of a theme that is present in all of their work: human nature/mother
nature. In this juxtaposition of the natural world with the constructs of built architecture and our
cultural phenomena from recent history, a basis is formed for the exploration of scales,
geographies, and an abundance of personal contributions from the Meiers. Photography, painting
and illustration, interviews, music, poetry, and more all culminate in a carefully considered
whirlwind of impressions.

Faire (42, 43, 44, 45) vol 12

Editions Empire 2022 ISBN 9791095991427 Acqn 33259
Pb 21x29cm 148pp col ills £40

'Faire' is distributed in the form of anthologies of three or four issues. This volume kicks off with a
non-comprehensive overview by Victoire Le Bars and Benjamin Thorel of 20 issues of
'F.R.DAVID', the unclassifiable journal that emerged in 2007. Thierry Chancogne then offers an
analysis of typographic writing, seeking to answer how writing, with its personal dynamics,
functions in conjunction with the industrial and normative generalisation of typography.
Furthermore, James Langdon looks at the conundrum of the visual communication of
neuroscience, while Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey analyses the inherent redundancy of graphic design
templates in four case studies.
