Food trucks are something of an institution in American culture and have been around for more than a century. These days there is a huge range of gastronomic treats available, dished up out of an incredible variety of vehicles--from caravans, station wagons and vans to trucks and buses--all decorated in their own distinctive and charismatic style. Each food truck can offer not just something to eat, but a complete gastronomic experience, eighteen exclusive recipes full of creativity and good taste, an essential part of what these fabulous pop-up kitchens on wheels provide for their customers. Image and originality have become as important to the product as the food itself.

A calligram is a form of poetry created to be viewed and admired as well as read. It stands out for its peculiar typographic layout: the words are placed to create a picture or designs.

In other cases, the picture created by the words may be evocative but indirectly related to the content.

Prefabricated architecture is becoming an important trend in the world of contemporary design. Modularity allows for greater design flexibility and makes homes more affordable, while architectural projects made with recycled loading containers are becoming increasingly popular--and increasingly necessary given the need for more sustainable construction.

Geometry imposes on the design. It not only manifests itself in clothing--dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, blazers--but also in accessories such as rings, necklaces, handbags, and even tattoos. The concept is to use simple lines, embellishing in a minimalist way, no matter the shape or colors involved. In this book you will see how different design studies use geometry to decorate the interior of the home, the skin, or to use in corporate settings.

A successful advertising campaign needs to stand out amid hundreds of other images people encounter as they go through their day. To do that, campaigns need to capture our attention through surprise, intrigue, curiosity, and sometimes even via negative sensations such as disgust, rejection, or an appeal to the conscience. This book covers a number of campaigns in both printed and outdoor advertising.

In modern architecture, natural stone is now thought of as material that provides both elegance and sustainability, which can transform both residential and commercial buildings and is a first choice for both its durability and ecological qualities. The houses in this volume have been built in line with bioclimatic principles and have all received high praise for the ingenious combinations of materials used in their exterior design.

The newest architectural trend: rolling houses in the most literal sense of the word. If not built on wheels, other forms of mobile home can easily be carried on a truck and moved to the places their owners desire. These tiny houses include main spaces that function as both kitchen and living room, tend to have a small loft for the bedroom, and are best used to store only those items with an essential use.

Global responsibility and commitment to the environment mean the pressure is on to seek environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to combat mounting environmental degradation. The importance of recyclable packaging is clearly recognized by all market sectors, either because the product itself is natural and eco-friendly or because manufacturers wish to draw attention to the essence of the product, demonstrating commitment to environmental protection through company products. The interest shown by designers in this field of packaging is clearly indicated by the outcome of numerous remarkable projects.

Energy efficiency and sustainable green standards have emerged in developed countries, particularly in the United States and Canada. This book explains this new direction in the construction of buildings through three parts, with illustrative examples of several types of homes: prefabricated, rehabilitated, and made with natural materials. The three R's in the construction of a home are: recycle, reduce, and reuse. The first part of this book explains how we can reduce the amount of waste. The second part is dedicated to new technologies in the house. The third part deals with ideas for alternative homes (cave houses, houses on trees, camouflage, etc).
