A prolific writer for many design magazines, Tido von Oppeln also edited the book Totem and Taboo: Complexity and Relationships between Art and Design. He has been a lecturer in design theory and history in Lucerne and Zurich since 2009.
Burkhard Meltzer is a freelance curator who writes about future art for magazines such as Kunstbulletin, frieze and Spike. He is the author of Ana and, with Tido von Oppeln, he was one of the editors of It’s Not a Garden Table: Art and Design in the Expanded Field.
An exploration of the past, present and future importance of the modular in architecture and design.
The modular did not have to be invented: it can be found everywhere. We divide surfaces into grids, spaces into parts, and time into rhythmic units. Modular structures are also increasingly being recognized as a way of communicating, where the aim is not to construct a universal principle but to facilitate interplay between different systems. Building on the visionary design system that architect Fritz Haller and engineer Paul Schärer developed in 1965 for Swiss furniture company USM, Rethinking the Modular brings together specially commissioned essays and interviews with leading designers, architects and thinkers to present the wide-ranging importance and influence of modular design over the past fifty years. In revealing the broad possibilities created by balancing structure with flexibility, the timely publication redefines the place of modularity in modern design history, and offers a rich resource for designers today.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : Una celebración del cincuenta aniversario del sistema modular pionero de USM dentro del contexto más amplio de la arquitectura y el diseño. En 1965, la empresa suiza de muebles USM patentó su sistema de muebles modulares, USM Haller. Esta solución de almacenamiento flexible para el hogar y la oficina se inspiró en la arquitectura modular de Fritz Haller y se diseñó para una reutilización y reconfiguración infinitas. Considerado un clásico del diseño, USM Haller está incluido en las colecciones de los principales museos, como el MoMA y el Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Publicado como parte de la celebración del cincuenta aniversario de USM de este icónico diseño de muebles, Rethink the Modular examina el papel de los sistemas basados en unidades en el contexto más amplio de la arquitectura y el diseño. Combina escritos publicados anteriormente, ensayos especialmente encargados de los pensadores e innovadores John Thackara y Rick Poyner, y entrevistas con figuras destacadas del mundo del diseño que explican cómo el concepto de modularidad influye en su trabajo. Intercalados con material visual, los textos revelan las muchas posibilidades creadas al equilibrar la estructura con la flexibilidad, y buscan redefinir el lugar de la modularidad en la historia del diseño moderno.
