Résumé:
Written by Stanislaus von Moos and originally published in 1968, this first comprehensive and critical survey of Le Corbusier's life and work soon became a standard reference text. Now reprinted after being unavailable for the better part of two decades, the book with its straightforward prose, critical views and basic criteria by which the subject matter is organized and historicized, remains surprisingly pertinent in the context of a recent surge of interest in Le Corbusier studies. The reprint offers a substantially updated body of illustrations and chapters are supplemented by a critical survey of recent scholarship on the respective issues.

Résumé:
Max Huber (1919—92) is one of the most significant graphic designers of the twentieth century. In this comprehensive monograph, the first to be published, the authors trace and illustrate Huber's entire career, from his early years in Switzerland to his more mature work in Italy. This fully illustrated survey of his work demonstrates that Huber was among the first to apply the aesthetics of the avant-garde to a corporate and commercial environment, creating formal solutions that he would go on to use throughout his life.

Résumé:
The first complete monograph on the work of Swiss graphic designer Max Huber, one of the most significant designers of the 20th century. Huber's work was consistently innovative, and by combining painting and photography with other graphic media, he remained avant-garde throughout his career, bringing the utopian vision of the modern masters to bear on corporate typography and identity design. Three essays cover Huber's entire career from the early 1940s, including his wide-ranging work in the fields of magazine, identity and exhibition design as well as expanding on his close links with a circle of brilliant artists, designers and intellectuals such as Josef Muller-Brockmann, Achille Castiglioni and Italo Calvino, among others.

Résumé:
At the peak of the 1968/69 students' riots at American Universities, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, together with Steven Izenour, pursued their Design and Research Studio on the topic of Las Vegas at Yale School of Architecture. The results of this were condensed into the book 'Learning from Las Vegas' that became a classic almost instantly upon its first publication in 1972. The treatise excited the 1970s architecture world and has remained influential to architects, teachers and theoreticians to the present day. Some forty years later, 'Eyes that Saw: Architecture after Las Vegas' offers a richly illustrated collection of essays by renowned scholars of art and architectural history, eminent architects, and artists, investigating Learning from Las Vegas and its heritage from various perspectives. Each chapter builds on the knowledge of the radical influence it had on architecture and urban design, visual art, and even on history more generally. Published alongside are documents from the Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates Archive at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as an illustrated chronology of the resonance in international media following the publication of Learning from Las Vegas in 1972.
