Objective: Earth - Designing our Planet
MUDAC 2023 ISBN 9782378964504 Acqn 33872
Pb 15x22cm 160pp col ills £24.25
Has our planet become an object of design? In today's world of geoengineering, cloud seeding
and ambitious projects to control planetary ecosystems, the question seems more justified than
ever. We map the world using cartography, we shape it with spatial planning. We model the
planet to predict natural phenomena and try to influence it through climate control. This book
focuses on a posture that has existed since the first human settlements, that gained pace with the
scientific breakthroughs of the Age of Enlightenment and, in step with industrial revolutions, was
furthered by a techno-scientific vision: to see the planet as designable. Designers, artists, and
researchers investigate this "becoming object" of planet Earth.

Tools #03 - To Fold
Tools Magazine 2023 no ISBN Acqn 33791
Pb 21x30cm 248pp col ills £23
The third issue of the annual magazine that promotes know-how and technique in design, craft or
industry, dedicated to folding. Tools magazine is the brainchild of Clementine Berry. The
magazine aims to simultaneously promote and investigate the details of manufacturing
techniques and expertise used in art, design, interior architecture, industry and trade. Each issue
focuses on a particular technique (moulding, folding, etc.), and the theme is used to select feature
subjects and pieces, as well as the persons interviewed. Tools is crafted as a comprehensive
inventory of design techniques. Weaving together past and present, it draws on history to
illustrate how techniques have been handed down through the ages, paying homage to the
creators behind the cult objects we use in our everyday lives, and whose work embodies the
stories that lie at the very genesis of our shared human ingenuity.

"What happens when a plain T-shirt is worn? What kind of hyper-awareness is produced in the
wearer? How are the sensory organs roused and poised to ensure that no foreign substances of
any form shall stain the pristine white fabric of the plain T-shirt? While some will find this super-
sensitivity brought on by a humble piece of clothing refreshing, others consider it unnecessary
paranoia and would rather not wear plain, light-coloured T-shirts at all. Those who do have
probably come to terms with the fact that with great plain-ness, comes great responsibility..."
