Summary:
Pattern can be derived from many sources, if we remember to look closely. While patterns have been around forever, there's a recent movement, a tendency among designers, to allow patterns to animate their work with colorful and exuberant complexity. "Over and Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns" collects groundbreaking work from fifty of today's most talented designers who create patterns by hand and use them in their work in inventive and innovative ways. From Deanne Chenk's patterns that adorn current fashion to those of Robin Cameron that explore her interest in art to Garret Morin's patterns that arose from an exercise for a character called Eloie, the examples in this book are pushing the boundaries of the traditional concept of what a pattern is. The selected works are often not an end result but the beginning of something else, of something bigger and broader. While the computer is sometimes involved in the production of patterns, the hand-drawn element is always evident in the uniqueness of these works. Featuring more than 250 vibrant and exciting patterns, "Over and Over" explores this magic on every single page and will inspire designers everywhere.

Summary:
Though inextricably linked with digital tools and culture, Antoine Picon argues that some significant traits in ornament persist from earlier Western architectural traditions. These he defines as the ‘subjective’ – the human interaction that ornament requires in both its production and its reception – and the political.

Summary:
Dans la mythologie grecque, Héphaïstos forgeait le fer de son souffle divin pour fabriquer les armes des dieux et des héros les plus valeureux. Plus tard, au Moyen Age, les arts roman et gothique ont produit de véritables chef-d'œuvre. Plus récemment, l'Art Nouveau a, lui aussi, exalté les multiples possibilités d'expression de ce matériau présent tant dans le mobilier intérieur que pur des éléments décoratifs architecturaux. Aujourd'hui, la tradition artisanale se conjugue avec l'innovation technologique pour permettre au fer forgé de figurer en bonne place dans le design du troisième millénaire. Vous trouverez dans cet ouvrage, illustré de nombreux dessins et photographies didactiques des idées et des projets (des grilles, des balcons, des gloriettes et des bancs...); des modèles à copier ou à modifier pour les adapter à son intérieur (des chaises, des tables, des lits, des lustres décoratifs...); des conseils pratiques pour apprendre à évaluer l'état des vieux objets de récupération, les nettoyer, les restaurer, les décaper, les peindre et leur donner une nouvelle jeunesse); une initiation progressive aux différentes techniques de traitement et de décoration du fer forgé (oxydation, sablage, brunissage, zincage, jusqu'à la délicate application de feuilles d'or et d'argent qui confère au métal un aspect noble et brillant.
