Editorial
In my career as a publisher and graphic designer, Birk-

häuser has always been an inexhaustible source of
information and ideas on architecture and design, and a
fundamental reference by which to measure the quality
of any publishing activity.
The creation of the ActarBirkhäuser Group provides now
the opportunity to reinforce and renovate Birkhäuser’s
central position in publishing by taking advantage of the
technological changes and new consumer requirements
affecting our industry, while developing an even stronger
content production platform in synergy with the group’s
other main publisher, Actar.
We trust that this opportunity will result in an enhanced
usability of the books and magazines that constitute this
catalog—so that they provide you, dear reader, with the
appropriate tools for the development of your creative
and research activity—and eventually in the establish-
ment of stronger and more productive connections and
synergies also among the architecture and design com-
munities in which we operate as publishers.

Building Books
Dear Reader,
Architects and interior designers, landscape architects

and urban planners, graphic artists and product desig-
ners create buildings and interiors, gardens and squares,
outdoor and urban landscapes, objects for life and work.
They are creative, designing everyday objects that are
hopefully more than just useful: irresistible, conspicuous,
desirable, in short, beautiful. So how do they connect
beauty with utility?
Under new ownership Birkhäuser remains the specialist

publisher for architecture, landscape architecture and
design. We will continue publishing informative and
inspiring handbooks and introductions, monographs
and dictionaries, collections of essays and textbooks for
theory and practice. Our publications convey practical
knowledge but seek to be more than just useful: pleasing,
attractive, exquisite, in short, beautiful. We aspire to
make intelligent books that are a pleasure to hold in the
hand, books that take you a step further—and us too. So
how do they connect beauty with utility?

Planning and Development

Books are created by authors, editors and
designers. But how do we get from the
initial idea to a concept that can carry
a whole book like the foundations of a
house? Every book seeks to be special,
but not all live up to that expectation. The
project development phase requires time.
Time to discuss ideas and alternatives,
time to develop a broad structure bringing
together two perspectives. The author, as
the expert in matters of architecture and
design, and the publishing house with
its expertise in architecture and design
books agree on a basic plan for a book—a
concept that captures the subject in con-
tent and design, an attractive product that
is a pleasure to read.
Design and Communication Constructing and Materializing

As well as pursuing an idea, a book always Books have to be constructed if they are

We will retain and actively develop the

visual identity of the Birkhäuser imprint.
We see it as a great advantage that Actar
itself has such high standards and ambi-
tions in the field of graphic design and
book production. Sharing know-how will
allow us to optimize the aesthetic quality
of our books and provide you with tools
that are even more attractive.
Planning and Realizing

Ultimately, books have to be realized and
financed. Individual project management
by editor, graphic designer and publisher
remain the key to observing agreed bud-
gets and schedules. But they do not bear
sole responsibility: authors, architects
and designers, translators and proofrea-
ders, photographers and lithographers,
printers and bookbinders all contribute
expertise to put a project on the shel-
ves. And they all know that it requires a
concerted effort by all involved, a dynamic
equilibrium of the highest order, to create
the built object, the printed book.
Be inspired!

“TypoLyrics—The Sound of Fonts”
Design: Rike Stephani, Kévin Puech, Font: Trappers and Traders

8 wo rk flow s T y p o ly ri c s
Slanted magazine includes a cherished section named

“TypoLyrics.” There, new fonts created by international
designers are presented in the form of illustrated lyrics.
The principle has also been adopted for a new homony-
mous book. Let’s listen in.
Kurt Weidemann famously calls typography a “dry lover.”
Just how much sex appeal the black art can nevertheless
have is clearly evidenced by the book “TypoLyrics” that
the editors of Slanted magazine presented in May at the
Typo in Berlin. Slanted’s claim is quite consciously: “The
feel of typography.”
The magazine editors are interested not in the finer
points of the fonts, but in conveying their enthusiasm and
passion for particular typefaces, staging fonts and pre-
senting the new kids on the block. As in the magazine’s
section on “TypoLyrics,” that readers so rave about, and
which is now the subject of an entire book. Lars Harm-
sen, one of the founders of Karlsruhe’s Magma agency
(which first launched Slanted) had the idea on spotting
a section in legendary Ray Gun magazine, designed by
David Carson: “However, the focus there was on re-
illustrating the cover of a well-known album—a fictitious
redesign, as it were, but visually striking, with copy not
playing a role. In ‘TypoLyrics’ the idea is to present new
font designs: In order to show the design potential of
a font you simply have to show how it is used, black on

white. Dummy copy hardly does the trick. Because often Font: Frakturbo
the feel of a font gets lost if the way it is presented is
defined by the CI stipulations of a font publisher.” Today,
fonts tend to get selected online: you enter a few words
in a box and can then immediately see what it will look
like in different faces. Now that is practical if things
have to happen fast and you need a first impression. But
Harmsen has something different in mind: “TypoLyrics
gives the font designers themselves the chance to show
how their design can be used. Or we ask international
illustrators and graphic artists to use a specific new font
and explore via a lyric how it looks and feels.”
Here the goal is not to heed the wild ideas of a rock band

or a label’s marketing executive. But if you

consider that the book runs to over 200
pages and the project covers eleven diffe-
rent chapters and 176 typographical illus-
trations then you soon realize you cannot
simply give any and every designer a carte
blanche to “put your favorite song in font!”
Chief curator Lars Harmsen, DJ Frank
Wiedemann, and designers Flo Gaertner
and Jan Kiesswetter set out above all to
give the right songs in the right mixture
to the right designers —in order to get
exciting pairings and visually inspiring re-
sults. Jan Kiesswetter comments: “In some
cases we asked very young designers to try Design: Anne-Katrin Koch, Font: Mia Entire
their hand with very old songs, confronted
a Techno fan with a country western song.
Or a Hip-Hop lover with a piece of folk.
Because we wanted to provoke visual ideas
that are a far cry from the clichés you asso-
ciate with the genre and that are not solely
influenced by the personal musical taste
of the designer.” The typo-illustrations in
the book are printed on colored papers,
and each of the eleven chapters has its own
tone. But look for yourself:

Interview with Dino Simonett

The Making of “Dado”
Together with Bruno Margreth, Dino Simonett created

the design for “Dado—Built and Inhabited by Rudolf
Olgiati and Valerio Olgiati.” The volume joins a series of
publications on the buildings of Valerio Olgiati, produ-
ced in close collaboration between Dino Simonett and
the architect. As an art director, Simonett develops book
concepts that seek their own channels of communica-
tion outside and beyond the mainstream. We spoke with
Dino Simonett about the process of creating “Dado” and
his ideas about making books.

Dado: you tell the story of the building through subtle

images and plans but packaged them in such a conspi-
cuous object of bookbinding art. How do you reconcile
the quiet and the loud?
Se la forza no ha la dolcezza non e la forza. Se la dolcez-
za non ha la forza non e la dolcezza. Les extrèmes se
touchent. Anything in-between is half-hearted and bo-
ring. Count me out. That’s what my mother always says
when I try to take her to the mountains.
What came first? The idea of letting the images do the

talking or the concept for the presentation?
The form simply had to work, and it had be new. Never
do the same book twice, that bores me. How the pictures
and text fit in, that’s a different matter.
Sometimes you use Japanese binding techniques, or you

dispense with the stabilising spine. What inspires your
book concepts?
I have always made books that I would like to buy myself.
Books I can’t find in the shops. There is very little to be
found that is sensitive and stimulating. I’m inspired by
stuff from the 1930s and that kind of thing, wherever it is
from. Looking at an original Tintin album from the late
1940s makes me come over all strange, it quite excites
me. So perfectly reproduced in such lovely strong colors,
I can think of almost nothing comparable in offset
printing, stunningly printed on matt paper, unmatched.
Bound so fine and thin, with a sensitive touch, nothing
swanky. Today everything is brash, high-gloss, foil-
laminated and disgustingly unsensual; mass production.
There are exceptions of course, but even when you look
at “the most beautiful books” I think there is much too
much trendy rubbish.
So “old-fashioned” techniques find their way into my
books, but I still make far too many mistakes. For ex-
ample paper too thick, card too heavy—despite making
dozens of dummies. That is one source

of inspiration. There would be a lot more
to say but there’s not the time here, I can
only scratch the surface.
How do you work with publishers, with

architects and artists? Do you seek people
out? And when they come to you, when
do you come on board? What does the
working process look like?
Hmm. These days it’s quite simple. First
of all I listen very carefully to what they
have to say, what they want. Then I tell
them I’m like an architect (or a fashion
designer): if the project interests me and
the money is right I would be pleased to

The book provides strategies for an energetically sensible and

suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design
and constructional integration. how much the building itself can
achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and

installations are required for conditioning—all of these topics are
