Book excerpt: "Named with a word meaning 'cloth', NUNO is a Japanese textile-design company. Founded in 1984 by Junichi Arai and the company's current director, Reiko Sudo, NUNO is known for its innovations in textile production. NUNO designers are inspired by the past, present and future, integrating elements, such as paper or feathers or aluminium, with industrial methods, such as spatter-plating and chemical etching. All NUNO textiles - more than 2,500 have been created - are produced in Japan and are usually the handiwork of an individual craftsperson. Each bolt of cloth has a story to tell. Though their textiles appear regularly in books, textile exhibitions and museum collections, a comprehensive NUNO monograph has not existed - until now. Featuring influential or experimental fabrics, the book is organized into seven chapters, each based on a theme deriving from the onomatopoeic coupling in Japanese that defines a family of fabrics. For example, 'Shima Shima', meaning 'striped', presents striped designs ranging from bold and contrasting like zebra to subtly variegated like a tabby cat. Based on interviews, archival research and factory visits, the texts are illustrated with specially commissioned photos and drawings. Interspersed are essays by a wide range of contributors, from writer Haruki Murakami and architect Toyo Ito to curator Anna Jackson."--

Book excerpt: One clever rat, one tramp steamship, one hungry lynx … When Nuno, an Iberian Lynx, decides to escape his struggling endangered life in scrubland eastern Portugal, he learns of Southern California, where the rabbits are fat, slow, and many. He boards a tramp steamer where he meets Figo, a streetwise ship rat. Figo introduces him to the different exotic cultures, music, and cuisines of the ports they visit along the way. Despite the odds, they form an unlikely friendship, but will it endure the journey? How will they survive the different perils lurking around every corner? Even if they do, what worse dangers await them in California? Madalena Bastos, an esteemed Portuguese artist, lovingly illustrated this book. The author will donate 10% of net proceeds to one or several organizations whose mission is to save the wonderful Iberian Lynx. An excellent story for the young at heart!

Download or read book POROSIS / The Architecture of Nuno Brandão Costa written by Nuno Brandão Costa and published by monade. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POROSIS invites an intense look at the work of the new figure in the Porto School of Architecture, after Eduardo Souto Moura and Álvaro Siza. The singularity of Nuno Brandão Costa’s work lies in his sustained attention to the primary elements of construction and its plasticity. Through new materials and techniques, his work has built upon the clarity of traditional Portuguese architecture. André Cepeda travelled for some months photographing the work of Nuno Brandão Costa. More a sensitive approach than a literal document, this book is a powerful testimony of Portuguese architecture nowadays, through the surprising work of this architect. The images, by one of the most highly regarded Portuguese photographers, brilliantly challenge the limits of an architectural monograph.
