Blobjects and Beyond: The New Fluidity in Design
Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the San Jose Museum in March 2005, "Blobjects and Beyond is a survey and critical review of new designs in all categories, which celebrate and explore amorphic, organic, protoplasmic, and other "blobby" forms. From Karim Rashid's housewares and furniture to the iMac, blobjects are not faddish items, they are the direction that products have been going in for more than a decade, and represent the future of design. Featuring examples of industrial design, architecture, graphic design, digital media, furniture, and fashion design from the last 15 years, "Blobjects and Beyond focuses on widely available consumer products, as well as limited-production goods, individually crafted and customized pieces, one-of-a-kind conceptual projects, and examples of fine art that straddle the line between art and design.

Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics by Irena Sakellardiou, ISBN 0789305461
"Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics" is the newest book in the Universe architecture series. This volume presents the work of the Swiss-born architect who worked as an assistant to such architecture giants as Le Corbusier and Louis I. Kahn before starting his own firm in 1970 and achieving international fame. Botta' characteristic respect for topographical conditions and regional sensibilities, his deft craftsmanship and the importance of geometric order in his work are evidenced in thirty projects that range from smaller residential buildings to such grandiose projects as the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the Jean Tinguely Museum and, most famously, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This detailed study also includes the designs he created for furniture and the stage. "Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics" is a thorough survey of the architectural and design work that launched Botta into the pantheon of modern architecture.

Aalto
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (18981976) was not only influenced by the landscape of his native country, but by the political struggle over Finland's place within European culture. Aalto turned to ideas based on Functionalism, subsequently moving toward more organic structures, with brick and wood replacing plaster and steel. He also designed buildings, furniture, lamps, and glass objects.
