«Die ältesten Dinge sind die neuesten» - dieses Motto zieht sich als paradoxe Idee durch das Werk des zeitgenössischen japanischen Künstlers und Fotografen Hiroshi Sugimoto. 2008 gründete er mit dem Architekten Tomoyuki Sakakida das New Material Research Laboratory: ein Architekturbüro, das durch die Anwendung unkonventioneller Ansätze und Interpretationen von bekannten Stoffen und Techniken «neue Materialien» entwickelt. Ziel des Labors ist es, die Verwendung alter Materialien aus der Antike, dem Mittelalter und der Neuzeit neu zu überdenken. Es setzt sich dafür ein, die Gegenwart mit vergangenen Epochen zu verbinden und diese Verbindung mittels Architektur in die Zukunft zu tragen.Old Is New taucht tief in das Verständnis von Kunst und Architektur, der archäologischen Philosophie und der gegenwärtigen Praxis des New Material Research Laboratory ein. Das reich bebilderte Buch illustriert anschaulich die Materialauswahl jedes Projekts. Fotografische Kompositionen zeigen Szenen, die ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit darstellen. In den Haupttexten des Buches diskutieren Sugimoto und Sakakida die Praxis und den Ansatz ihrer Arbeit. Weitere Textbeiträge erläutern den Ursprung und den historischen Kontext ihrer Designprinzipien, die in der japanischen Tradition und Ästhetik wurzeln. Ein kommentiertes Verzeichnis von Materialien und klassischen japanischen Techniken wurde ergänzt mit Informationen aus den Forschungserkenntnissen des Labors.

An archival detective story, Truth or myth? The legendary Anarchitecture exhibition.

This book is a tool kit to create new forms. It deals with grid-based design and gives the reader techniques to develop new forms, fonts, logos, and patterns. The concept represents a design process in which individual decisions follow much larger and deeper principles than immediate and spontaneous-intuitive actions. Using a wide variety of examples, each chapter contains a detailed description of the procedure from form analysis to setting up design rules and their application. Both a workbook and a source of inspiration, this publication provides designers and architects with the tool they need to find analytical forms-analog, algorithm-based, exploratory but never of arbitrary origin. The procedures described allow an almost infinite number of possibilities. The designer is thus transformed from inventor to interpreter or curator, who assesses individual forms for logos, fonts or patterns on the fly and ensures that the design process is always efficient and goal-oriented.
