The Stanley Kubrick Archives

£15.00

Quantity

The official companion text to Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: "It's not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience... I tried to create a visual experience, one that directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content." Now available as part of our Bibliotheca Universalis series, The Stanley Kubrick Archives borrows from the director's philosophy. From the opening sequence of Killer's Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, it allows the masterful visuals of Kubrick's films to impress through a sequence of compelling, mesmerizing stills. We uncover Kubrick's creative process through fascinating archival material, including set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules Accompanying the visual and archival material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick's best interviews. The result is a visual, archival, and scholarly journey through masterworks of 20th-century cinema and the meticulous mind of the director behind them

Home Futures: Living in Yesterday’s Tomorrow - Exhibition Catalogue

£29.95

Quantity

The ‘home of the future’ has long intrigued designers and popular culture alike. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanised home or the notion that technology might liberate us from home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are today’s smart homes the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has our idea of home proved resistant to real change? Explores today’s home through the prism of yesterday’s imagination. Alongside original essays by leading voices in the field, this richly illustrated book features more than 200 colour images, organised in six thematic sections exploring privacy, the smart home, compact living, self-sufficiency, nomadic lifestyles and the idea of the home as an idyllic landscape. Ultimately this book proposes that we are already living in yesterday’s tomorrow, just not in the way anyone predicted The designers, architects and artists featured in this book include:Absalon // Ron Arad // Archigram // Archizoom Associati // Atelier Van Lieshout // Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec // Andrea Branzi // Joe Colombo // Michael Craig-Martin // Dunne & Raby // Yona Friedman // Buckminster Fuller // Richard Hamilton // Hans Hollein // Haus-Rucker-Co // Industrial Facility // Jan Kaplický // Frederick Kiesler // Mark Leckey // Linder // Enzo Mari // OpenStructures // Gaetano Pesce // Ugo la Pietra // Alison and Peter Smithson // SO–IL // Ettore Sottsass // Studio Makkink & Bey // Superstudio // Andrea Zittel With original essays on the home and its future by:Deyan Sudjic // Adam Greenfield // Pier Vittorio Aureli, Martino Tattara and Marson Korbi of Dogma // Sarah Kember // Emilio Ambasz // Jing Liu of SO–IL // Justin McGuirk // Eszter Steierhoffer

Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet Catalogue

£19.95

Quantity

Edited by Justin McGuirk, Andrew Nahum and Eleanor Watson  Designed by Studio Julia  Getting humans to Mars has become one of the great challenges of our time. It will be an extraordinary technological feat, but also a feat of design. This is the first book dedicated to designing for the Red Planet. From life on a spacecraft to survival on Mars’ inhospitable surface, new forms of clothing, farming and architecture will be needed. This volume looks at the real work designers and architects are generating now – as well as more speculative proposals of what this future might look like. Some ask whether we should go to Mars at all, while others argue that the rigours of such a mission would force us to design a waste-free way of life.  Illustrated with more than 300 images and featuring original essays by leading thinkers in their field, Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet includes projects by NASA, SpaceX and the European Space Agency, as well as new work by designers and architects including HASSELL, Konstantin Grcic, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and RÆBURN. It also includes an interview with the science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson, who addresses why speculative design is the ideal discipline for imagining the ‘material grammar' of a life on Mars
