The Design Museum is home to the visionaries that shape our lives and create our futures: Terrence Conran, Zaha Hadid, Alvar Aalto, Jonathan Ive, David Chipperfield, Tim Berners-Lee, and Louis Kahn. From the simple wooden chair to the supersonic Concord, the museum spotlights era-defining designs in architecture, fashion, interiors, transport and technology, helping us to better understand the complex relationship between form and purpose. This "museum in a box" contains 100 world-famous designs, including the first Apple computer, chairs by Eames, Norman Foster blueprints and Alec Issigonis iconic Mini Cooper.

Why do presidents and prime ministers, tycoons and tyrants share such a fascination with grand designs? Is it to impress or terrify, to wield state power, make a bid for immortality or just satisfy their egos?

From Hitler's vast Chancellery to Saddam Hussein's Mother of all Battles mosque, from Olympic stadiums to Donald Trump's excesses, Deyan Sudjic examines the murky relationship between buildings, money and politics, revealing the power of architecture - and the architecture of power.

London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles are the ultimate 100 mile cities, set apart by an economic supremacy derived from their size, power and ambitions. Deyan Sudjic, a witty, incisive observer of architecture in the widest cultural sense, has written a devastatingly graphic portrait of this phenomenon emerging from the 1980s: standardised, monolithic, corporate urban sprawls that are the outward expression of a new society, a blueprint that will affect the lives of tens of millions of people.

A highly eclectic, intensely personal dictionary of design from a leading expert in the field
This an essential tool kit for understanding the world around us. It's about our obsession with collecting, the quest for authenticity and the creation of national identities. It's about Hitchcock's film sets and why we value imperfection. It's about fashion and technology, about politics and art.

Чугунная посуда, кухонные электроприборы, современное искусство, антикварная мебель, дешевые джинсы, дорогие туфли и, конечно же, новый iPhone - мы беспрерывно выбираем и, кажется, точно знаем, что нам нужно. Однако этот выбор - разумеется, сделанный с безупречным вкусом и в высшей степени индивидуальный, - предопределен дизайном самой покупки, тем неявным…

«В как Bauhaus» Деяна Суджича — путеводитель по современному миру, как его видит историк и теоретик дизайна. Идеи и символы, произведения высокого искусства и товары массового спроса, изобретения, без которых невозможно представить наш быт, и проекты, оставшиеся неосуществленными, — реальность, в которой существует сегодня человек, состоит из самых разных элементов, и умение понимать ее устройство, считает директор лондонского Музея дизайна Деян Суджич, делает нашу жизнь намного более осмысленной и интересной.

In this new series, the Design Museum looks at the fifty design icons of major cities around the world - icons that, when viewed together, inherently sum up the spirit of their city. Covering everything from buildings and monuments to a graffiti mural or an item of clothing, we are able to build up an intricate portrait of a city, layer by layer.
From its long-serving Routemaster buses and world-famous tube map to the miniskirts of the swinging sixties and the imposing silhouette of Battersea Power Station, London is a tapestry of design masterpieces. Join Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum, as he unravels the visual history of one of our most complex and intriguing cities.

Сегодня большая часть человечества живет в городах. Но что такое город —место или идея? Что вообще делает город городом? И по каким признакам можно определить современный мегаполис? Деян Суджич, директор лондонского Музея дизайна, находит и описывает те скрытые силы, которые формируют городские пространства вокруг нас — от названий улиц и знаковых памятников до того чувства общности, которое объединяет лондонцев, стамбульцев или жителей Мехико.

This handsome volume celebrates over forty years of the playful and trendsetting English fashion brand and retailer Paul Smith. Always in fashion, Paul Smith is not only a preeminent fashion designer but also an international retail trendsetter who perfected a classic style that exudes a sense of English tradition combined with humor, playfulness, and mischief.

Using hand-drawn designs, archival photographs, gorgeous original photography, and engaging essays, this colorful catalog weaves together a compelling visual tale of Paul Smith's prestigious projects and creative processes-from behind-the-scenes to on the streets-that built this multifaceted empire of cool.
