The project’s approach encouraged 21st-century design in dialogue with works of art, and involved students from the city’s art and design academy, as well as links with the building’s recent restoration projects. This diminutive yet colourful and richly illustrated book recounts these efforts in full, with added perspectives from numerous contributors.

Draping - Art And Craftmanship In Fashion Design ArtEZ Press 2014 ISBN 9789491444210 Acqn 24542 Pb 19x26cm 248pp 300col ills £39.95 This book is a manual on draping or, as it is known in France, moulage. Draping is a three-dimensional design and production technique that generates a considerable degree of freedom. From time immemorial, draping has been a technique frequently used in couture. Specialists Annette Duburg and Rixt van der Tol used their extensive collection of practical manuscripts to provide this book with a clear set of instructions for draping. There are only a limited number of people who are still able to teach the art of draping, which makes this manual decidedly indispensable. It opens up an area that functions as an interesting, supplementary design niche within today’s fashion design training.

Bana'i Script Nazar Research Cultural Institute 2014 ISBN 9786001520433 Acqn 24274 Pb 17x21cm 144pp 144col ills £16.50 What sets apart the Baná’í Script from other forms of Farsi script is its horizontal and vertical, orthogonal lines. The formal concepts underlying the Baná’í Script is developed from strategies related to fitting a given text in different inscription shapes while maintaining a set composition between the background and the text. This book contains three parts. The first part introduces all that has been gathered from older texts on varieties of the Baná’í Script. The following section is the result of the author’s personal research on existing inscriptions in two main areas of “regulations on how to break with existing rules on drafting letters”, and “developing new relations in inscription writing”. The third part of the book is devoted to an archive of formal possibilities in the Baná’í Script.

While Japanese designs are reaching greater recognisability and appreciation internationally, many often see them through stereotypes. Japan’s design attitude, however, never ends with what is visible, but reaches further, into parts of products or crafts that are usually invisible. According to the essay by Oki Sato, it is there that the philosophy or concept underlying Japanese design can be found.
