"In a globalized world, Asian, Latin and Arabic characters and visual cultures appear side by side and woven together. The coexistence of different visual cultures is now part of our daily lives and a given feature of our communication systems.

Visual communication has classically been guided by principles of uniformity and ..."

"Please Don't Brand My Public Space is a critical investigation of the visual strategies employed to identify and brand political territories. Isn't it about time to look at their often banal images as part of a crisis of political representation? In the context of a revival of xenophobic propaganda on the one hand and the degradation of places into pure marketing products on the other, it is possible to recognize an increasingly theatri ..."

"All too often, the smells and flavors of a city are simple, sad, monotonous, or uniform. Then again, they can be as overwhelming as cheap perfume. In spite of these extremes--or perhaps because of them--the smells of the city are hardly ever noticed. Sometimes, however, the flaneur's nose catches a surprising freshness, a breeze bearing the merest traces of a scent which captivates our sense and turns everyday banality into poetry. Scen ..."

Illustrated for the first time in all of its depth and breadth, Bucher's work leads into a complex and simultaneously smooth world of structures, colors, forms, and signs. Central to its make-up is the productive relationship between painting and design, architecture and music--thus it is hard ..."

The design, resulting from an architectural competition, combines advanced urban-architectonic concepts with the corporate identity of adidas.
