Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards, fashions, and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition, and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color?

More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a pigment factory, starting out from Le Corbusier’s color palette. She now has more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed – based on her work with architects, designers, and historical preservationists – a selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed.

Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters, and worked as a restorer.

This excellent introduction to the major developments in art and architecture that emerged from seventeenth century Western Europe bridges the gap between the specialized study and a more general survey. Seventeenth-Century Art & Architecture encompasses the socio-political and cultural background of the period. In the process it examines the careers of the most significant painters, sculptors and architects, and those of less well-known artists. Major artists covered include Bernini, Borromini, Caravaggio, Carracci, Claude, Girardon, Guercino, Hals, Jones, Le Brun, Le Vau, Murillo, Poussin, Rembrandt, Reni, Ribera, Rubens, Ruisdael, Steen, van Dyck, Velzquez, Vermeer, Wren and Zurbarn. The seventeenth century also witnessed the emergence of successful women painters such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Clara Peeters, who receive due attention here.

Striche sind zeichenbare Gedanken und oft präziser als Worte. Nur zeichenbare Ideen können in einen gestalterischen Entwurf übertragen werden. 1D, die «erste Dimension», ist somit der Ausgangspunkt des Entwurfsprozesses, sei es in der Ausbildung oder in der beruflichen Praxis. Die Publikation stellt das Erlernen und die Funktion des Zeichnens in den Mittelpunkt. Dafür werden zeichnerische Arbeiten, die an der Schule für Gestaltung in Basel entstanden sind, entlang eines Begriffssystems in Form einer «Netzkarte» kommentiert. Dieses gibt zum einen die Qualitäten der Zeichnungen wieder und liefert zum anderen das Vokabular, um über den komplexen Prozess des Zeichnens überhaupt kommunizieren zu können – mit dem Ziel immer besserer Ergebnisse. Ein einführender Essay setzt sich auseinander mit dem Zeichnen als Wahrnehmungs- und Umsetzungsprozess; abgerundet wird das Buch durch Statements renommierter Gestalterinnen und Gestalter – begleitet durch eine Originalzeichnung – zur Bedeutung des Zeichnens in ihrem Schaffen.

Lines are thoughts that can be drawn and are often more precise than words. Only ideas that can be drawn can be translated into a design. 1D, the "first dimension," is thus the point of departure for the design process both in training and in professional practice. This publication focuses on the learning and function of drawing. Drawing assignments created for the Schule für Gestaltung Basel (Basel School of Design) are commented on based on a conceptual system in the form of a "network card." On the one hand, this shows the quality of the drawings; on the other hand, it provides the vocabulary necessary to communicate about the complex process of drawing – with the goal of ever better results. An introductory essay addresses drawing as a process of perception and realization. The book is rounded out by statements from renowned designers, each accompanied by an original drawing, on the significance of drawing to their work.
