The Future Does Not Exist Retrotypes

Editions B42 2014 ISBN 9782917855522 Acqn 24188
Hb 22x32cm 84pp 171ills 105col 27
All that really exists is past futures, ones set in motion in times preceding our own. The
publication begins with this hypothesis, with project authors Alain Bublex and Elie During going
on to formulate ideas, perform research and collect and present materials that, in the process,
consolidates and makes concrete these futures nurtured by bygone ages. This richly illustrated
book first deals with the future as a concept, for instance, as seen in the evolution of industrial
objects, then goes on to address the notion of retro-futurism through an investigation of this
underlying trend of contemporary culture, from science fiction to pop music, and from architecture
to fashion and design.

Transforming Tradition - A Method For Maintaining Tradition In A Craft And Design

Context
Aalto 2012 ISBN 9789526044118 Acqn 24443
Pb 18x25cm 266pp 90ills 60col 36
This study explores the idea of maintaining tradition in the context of craft and design, based on
the view that tradition can be beneficial for contemporary lives. Research has shown that
traditional knowledge and artefacts that have been inherited through generations often
demonstrate an excellent quality in use and design, reflecting a harmony between aesthetics and
function. This study proposes a concept of Transformation of Tradition, the idea of which is to
keep old but valuable traditions alive and sustainable by making them suitable for contemporary
lives.
