Marie-Hélène Contal, Jana Revedin: Sustainable Design
Towards a New Ethic in Architecture and Town Planning
WICKED! is about blood, violence, and weapons, about sex and genitals, bowels, bodily fluids, and decay. And yes, it is about design. It volatilely teases with physical and intense attractions and anxieties thrown onto everyday objects. One wonders: Who could I give it to?! From a distance we know how disgusting things can get, and usually we feel superiour to the wicked - or the bad taste. But it is thinkable for the observer to actually be revolting - to use objects and living beings in a way close to destruction, supression and decay. Just thinkable. For a moment. And then flip the page.
The leap it actually takes to realize what destruction and degradation are and how many other forms they take in our everyday lives needs quite a while. Our fascination with them is enjoyable from a distance. But right in the middle of the horror - of the waste of our energies - most of us would simply fold. In a hopeless, immobile situation that confronts us with our own destruction we do not know any answers.

Reading this book is like learning a 3D language!In over 1300 color pictures and drawings this bookoffers an access to the principles of designing 3D forms and surfaces. The basis of this hugecollection of forms is an analysis and structuring of the various types of forms and their interfaces. These form types with their many variations and possibilities to connect to each other can be beautifully memorized while flipping through the book and used later on in any kind of design process.

The Rauch House Martin Rauch’s new residence in Schlins (Vorarlberg) built in collaboration with Zurich architect Roger Boltshauser is a striking example of how an archaic building technique can be used in a contemporary manner. The book documents the development of this unique house made out of clay and provides practical knowledge on clay construction and its special ecological, organic, and aesthetic qualities.
