You Are Here 2
When it comes to designing effective signages that are also appealing to the eye, a delicate balance needs to be struck. On one hand, a wayfinding system has to avoid confusion and reduce stress for visitors orienting themselves within complex environments such as a healthcare facility. On the other hand, as a big part of many a visual identity design project, it can help a brand stand out by presenting distinct pops of personality.
A follow-up to the first edition that was published in 2013, 'You Are Here 2' showcases a new curation of the best signages and wayfinding systems that enhance spaces and settings around the world today. Whether they serve to simply guide people from point A to point B or elicit curiosity and delight in exploration, these projects reflect the work of designers who are adept at merging form and functionality to demonstrate creative thinking and empathy.
Jarwin and Cuffy
Excerpt: "In all the wide expanse of ocean that surrounded that island, there was nothing visible save one small, solitary speck on the far-off horizon. It might have been mistaken for a seagull, but it was in reality a raft—a mass of spars and planks rudely bound together with ropes. A boat’s mast rose from the centre of it, on which hung a rag of sail, and a small red flag drooped motionless from its summit. There were a few casks on the highest part of the raft, but no living soul was visible. Nevertheless, it was not without tenants. In a hollow between two of the spars, under the shadow of one of the casks, lay the form of a man. The canvas trousers, cotton shirt, blue jacket, and open necktie, bespoke him a sailor, but it seemed as though there were nothing left save the dead body of the unfortunate tar, so pale and thin and ghastly were his features. A terrier dog lay beside him, so shrunken that it looked like a mere scrap of door-matting. Both man and dog were apparently dead, but they were not so in reality, for, after lying about an hour quite motionless, the man slowly opened his eyes.Ah, reader, it would have touched your heart to have seen those eyes! They were so deep set, as if in dark caverns, and so unnaturally large. They gazed round in a vacant way for a few moments, until they fell on the dog. Then a gleam of fire shot through them, and their owner raised his large, gaunt, wasted frame on one elbow, while he gazed with a look of eagerness, which was perfectly awful, at his dumb companion.“Not dead yet!” he said, drawing a long sigh."

Artists' Lives
Engaging encounters, personal anecdotes and jargon-free critical insights into some of the liveliest creative minds in modern art, by an international art world insider.
Praised by the Art Newspaper as ‘the best art writer of his generation’, Michael Peppiatt has encountered many European modern artists over more than fifty years. This selection of some of his best biographical writing covers a wide spectrum of modern art, from Van Gogh and Pierre Bonnard, to personal conversations with painter Sonia Delaunay, artist Dora Maar, who was Picasso’s lover in the 1930s and 1940s, and Francis Bacon, perhaps the most famous of the many artists with whom Peppiatt has formed personal friendships.
Michael Peppiatt’s lively, engaging writing takes us into the company of many notable art-world personalities, such as the Catalan painter Antoni T?pies, whom he visits in his studio, and moments of disillusion, such as his meeting with the self-mythologizing artist Balthus. Art criticism blends with anecdote: riding with Lucian Freud in his Bentley, drinking with Bacon in Soho, discussing Picasso’s trousers with David Hockney...
This collection of Peppiatt’s most perceptive texts includes under-recognized artists, such as Dachau survivor Zoran Music, or Montenegrin artist Dado, whose retrospective Peppiatt curated at the 2009 Venice Biennale. Remarkably varied in their scope and lucidly written for a general reader, these selected essays not only provide us with perceptive commentary and acute critical judgment, they also give a unique personal insight into some of the greatest creative minds of the modern era.
Bold Ventures
A spellbinding new talent explores the dark side of creativity through the stories of thirteen tragic architects
'Bold Ventures resembles a pop version of Iain Sinclair's psychogeography or Out of Sheer Rage, Geoff Dyer's anti-biography of DH Lawrence' Olivia Laing, Guardian
In thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator?
Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked their hand at a creative act.
Zlomený král
Když je nedaleko hradu Lichnice nalezeno zmrzačené tělo českého a římského krále Karla IV., na slezského lékaře Siegfrieda připadá nelehký úkol pokusit se panovníka zachránit. A zároveň přežít v nehostinném prosředí Železných hor, kde zjišťuje, že nemůže věřit ani vlastním přátelům, natožpak příslušníkům intrikami prolezlého panovníkova dvora.
Zlomený král je napínavá historická detektivka z českého středověku a druhý díl volné trilogie o lékaři Siegfriedovi a židovské dívce Rivce. V pořadí již pátý román mladého českého spisovatele Františka Kalendy (*1990) čtenáře opět zavádí do blízkosti Karla IV. a poutavým způsobem jim přibližuje historické postavy a události spojené s raným obdobím vlády „největšího Čecha“.

The Writers Crusade
The story of Kurt Vonnegut and his beloved masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five, a novel born in the destruction of Dresden in World War II and written during the tumultuous days of Vietnam
During the Vietnam War, Kurt Vonnegut, after surviving the horrors of Dresden as a POW during World War II, would lose his temper while watching the nightly news, point at the screen and shout, "The liars!" According to his family and friends, Slaughterhouse-Five was Vonnegut's attempt to exorcize his demons. "He was writing to save his own life," his daughter Nanette has said, "and in doing it I think he has saved a lot of lives."
Tom Roston's The Writer's Crusade is a book about how books save lives. Two decades after World War II had ended, Vonnegut's sixth book became a significant part of a vital storytelling tradition that has eased the trauma of war for both the writer and the reader. Although Slaughterhouse-Five was championed by the anti-war movement, it became a bulwark for veterans who found in its pages a voice that spoke to them with an intimate, shared understanding of wartime PTSD.
Tiki Pop
Urban islands and bamboo hideaways set the stage for a pop culture phenomenon like no other. In mid-century America, the imaginative appeal of Tiki penetrated fashion, music, eating, drinking, and architecture.
In handy Bibliotheca Universalis format, Tiki Pop traces the development of Tiki as romantic vision and cultural appropriation. Follow Tiki from James Cook's first Pacific Island expeditions, through Gauguin's exotic paintings, Hollywood jungle fantasies, and elaborate temples erected to celebrate Tiki as the god of recreation. With hundreds of images, Tiki the pop icon unfolds from its earliest, enthusiastic beginnings to its spectacular downfall in the dawning awareness of the Western world's colonial misdeeds.
This book is the culmination of the extensive research of Sven Kirsten, urban archaeologist, Tiki sage, and author of earlier TASCHEN investigations, The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern, which first recovered the figure of Tiki from obscurity. In his widely lauded graphic style, Kirsten places venerable ancient godheads next to their Polynesian pop counterparts, movie posters next to matchboxes, comic strips next to Robinson Crusoe illustrations. The result is at once a visual feast, a piece of cultural history, and a tribute to a very particular vision of paradise.

Egy lány
Mindössze egyetlen esély
Madeline Hart a brit kormánypárt tagja, aki előtt fényes karrier áll: szép, okos, és a gyerekkori szegénység emlékei hajtják a sikerek elérésére. Van azonban egy sötét titka is: a miniszterelnök, Jonathan Lancaster szeretője. Valakik valahogy tudomást szereznek a viszonyról, és elrabolják Madeline-t. Lancaster, a botránytól tartva úgy dönt, hogy nem vonja be a brit rendőrséget, és a maga szakállára intézkedik. Megkezdődik a keresés.
Hét napjuk van, különben a lány meghal.

A küldetés során a marseille-i bűnözők alvilágától eljut Provence egy mindentől távoli völgyébe, a londoni politikai vezetők díszes irodáiba, végül Moszkvában köt ki, ahol gyakori az erőszak, és ahol nagyon sokan szeretnék, ha Gabriel halott lenne.

The Antichrist
Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" might be more aptly named "The Antichristian," for it is an unmitigated attack on Christianity that Nietzsche makes within the text instead of an exposition on evil or Satan as the title might suggest. In "The Antichrist," Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of ones religious or philosophical point of view, "The Antichrist" makes for an engaging philosophical discourse.

Uncle Bernac
At this unexpected announcement Talleyrand and Berthier looked at each other in silence, and for once the trained features of the great diplomatist, who lived behind a mask, betrayed the fact that he was still capable of emotion. The spasm which passed over them was caused, however, rather by mischievous amusement than by consternation, while Berthier--who had an honest affection for both Napoleon and Josephine-- ran frantically to the door as if to bar the Empress from entering.
