Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Arad's work is loosely described as 'design'... but encompasses everything from turntables built into paving stones to the Tel Aviv Opera House in Israel. Packed with a great mixture of new photography and archive shots of his older work...an illuminating read."-Arena "Collings... uses simple, guileless questions to bring out the most important issues in design and its relationship with art. This produces a likeable, unstuffy tone... that raises issues many of us would like to see addressed, but are too afraid of appearing ignorant to ask."-Blueprint "Very nicely put together."-Grafik "Beautifully designed... Sharp, clear and clean."-Sam Jacob, Modern Painters "INNOVATIVE OPTIMIST... However unexpected the choice of Collings might seem, it works. He enters the conversation as an outsider to Arad's world, and thus places him in a wider context than that of design... Refreshingly unpretentious... What might have been an experiment on the part of the publisher has paid off... A great resource for anyone interested in design or architecture... The sheer range of Arad's subject matter is what is most impressive... This publication echoes [Arad's] ways of encountering the world: unpretentious, and whimsical in places, but always compelling."-Kathy Battista, Architect's Journal "This beautifully designed work takes the form of a long interview between Arad and Collings, an art critic, and showcases new photography by Tom Vack."-Metropolitan Home

Reseña del editor

Opinionated and playful, this book gives readers an unprecedented insight into the work of one of the world's most successful contemporary designers, Ron Arad. In a long conversation with art critic Matthew Collings, Arad talks candidly about how his career has unfolded and the elements it now encompasses: product and furniture design, architecture, public sculpture and exhibitions. As well as rev the thinking and stories behind many of Arad's designs and projects, this discussion also touches on whether art and design can really mix, the nature of the client-designer relationship, how workshop projects feed designs for mass-production, the fun of working both with simple materials and cutting-edge technology, what makes good architecture, and refusing to decide whether you're a designer or an architect. Illustrated with over 350 images of his work (including specially commissioned pictures by Tom Vack) Ron Arad talks with Matthew Coll ings is the most complete - and most entertaining - overview of Arad's career to date.
