A propos de cet article

First edition. ~8.25" x 10.75" Staple bound softcover in decorated card covers. Unpaginated, approx 28pp with black and white illustrations. Well bound and clean; unmarked save for neat penned date, name and previous price to first page. Very modest rubbing to covers, and only hints of shelfwear. Essay entitled "Notes on Ephemera" by Daniel Solomon, illustrated with work by Jensen-Lewis, Daniel Solomon and Barbara Stauffacher, Hirshen & Van der Ryn, François Dallegret, Ulrich Franzen, André Courreges, Christian Girard, Shigeo Tanaka, Paul Rudolph and Soichi Hata and Akira Saito and others. This issue of Design Quarterly treated "architecture in an age of disposability and ephemerality. Stauffacher Solomon designed the issue, bringing her revolutionary architectural-scale typography of the supergraphic to bear on the small-scale real estate of the magazine page. Daniel Solomon, who penned the text, argues for architecture to embrace the contemporary conditions of the ephemeral and even the fashionable, drawing parallels to the world of modern industrial design such as the automobile and to experimental works of architecture like modular or plug-in living units that can be changed over time as well as the period s call for more a systems-based architecture. The specter of environmental degradation, however, seems oddly downplayed in the issue which was published the same year as the first Earth Day." (Randall Ross, Modernism 101). Rare and in very good condition.
