Alexandre Wollner, born in 1928 in São Paulo, is one of the most important and successful graphic designers of the second half of the 20th Century. He played a prominent role in the artistic, cultural and economic foundation of the modern Brazilian design and still has an enormous impact on the design scene in Brazil. In South America Wollner enjoys high popularity, but his work has still to be discovered outside this continent. The present publication provides around 120 works of the designer. The overview focuses on the strong influence of the Ulm School of Design (HfG. Hochschule für Gestaltung), where Wollner was staying 1954-1958, and of European culture on the Brazilian Wollner.

Visitors were forewarned, a hand-written sign announcing: "The museum testifies to the thousand year history, work and labour of our ancestors. The exhibition extends for over 5000 m2." From the outset, it was a utopian undertaking. Not without reason does the lama monastery Shangri-La from James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon serve as namesake to this museum. Pietro Benzi (1931 - 2014) maintained the project from 1965 onwards. He collected what they no longer wanted, what had become antiquated or gone out of fashion: 2.7 million everyday objects, many of which were household effects, religious kitsch, knick-knacks, shoes and plastic toys. This photographic essay takes the viewer on a journey inside his unsystematic collection.

A review and prospect of the work of the Frankfurt-based architectural office on the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary. schneider + schumacher covers issues and values which have determined their work over the course of the thirty years since the founding of the architectural office and will continue to do so. Renowned authors shed light on the respective concepts and their significance for the history of schneider + schumacher, while the office's works are presented in large-format illustrations--including the extension to the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, the Siegerland motorway church, and the new pavilion of the Frankfurt Book Fair. In architectural practice, it becomes clear how Till Schneider, Michael Schumacher, and their team implement their thematic and theoretical orientation into their working methods, design approach, and understanding of architecture.
