for exceptional design performances. This is a good reason to take a
close look at the design history of the company on the occasion of its
100-year anniversary. The design historian Kilian Steiner distinguishes
three historical phases: The first phase (1923 to 1945) marks the
build-up and destruction of the Loewe brand. In the second phase (1945

numerous changes. The third period from 1985 onwards saw the rise of

In recent times, global players and international brands from almost all industries have chosen excellent architecture at first-class addresses as a way of concentrating their presence in a distinctive location. In most cases, innovative and avantgarde flagship stores lend a unique architectural frame to the whole product range of a single manufacturer. Dramaturgically designed rooms and backdrops set the scene for the brand in relation to lifestyle, creating an emotional bond between the manufacturer and customer. On 168 pages, the author Jons Messedat, doctor of architecture and management consultant, shows fascinating international developments and concepts for this new construction challenge which has quickly developed into a driver of contemporary architecture.
Stuttgart (Southern Germany) has a new trade fair centre, which is just the right size and in the best possible location. Its architecture also reflects this. The lively grouping of tent roofs over the trade fair halls merges into the surrounding landscape while the centre's unusual, plant-covered bridge from the multi-storey car park reaches over the motorway to the natural environment. The new state trade fair centre by Wulf & Partner architects sets new standards when it comes to the functional organization of the centre, the technical design aspects of the halls, the ecologically oriented supply systems and the equipment or the infrastructure provided for the exhibitors. The book presents the architecture of the trade fair centre in all its aspects, from its prehistory and the competition to planning and construction, from the preliminary sketch of an idea to the very first event.First publication about this outstanding building – lavish layout and impressive large-format photos!

The numerous examples presented in this edition of the Trade Fair Design Annual are once again testament to the ability of designers to consistently tailor trade fair stands to exhibitors’ needs whilst setting standards in the field.

Airports today are a new building type. They have become a strange combination of transportation centre and shopping mall. Like in a city the experience leads through squares, streets and rooms for transportation, commerce and private uses. At Suvarnabhumi Airport innovative and integrated architectural structural and environmental design were used, new materials and systems of advanced technology developed. The result is a building flooded with controlled daylight in a tropical climate. After eleven years of planning and construction the terminal was opened for passenger traffic in Setpember 2006.

Founded over 70 years ago, Murphy/Jahn has created many notable projects in the United States and Europe, including Chicago O’Hare International Airport, United Airlines Terminal One Complex, Sony Center, Berlin and Post Tower, Bonn, Germany.
The appearance and attractiveness of a design product depend to a large extent on the surface design. The texture changes both its form and significance. The sheen of the Panton Chair Classic is what sets it apart, colourful eloxated aluminium is reminiscent of sports equipment, metallic paint on cars or finger nails, patina suggests aging. Besides conveying such emotions through visual and tactile stimuli, functional coatings also react with their environment. As required, they have an adhesive effect, act as a water repellent, provide antibacterial protection or conduct heat. How do designers use this creative potential? "Make up" presents design classics from the collection of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich in dialogue with products of contemporary designers like Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo Häberli, Ross Lovegrove, Jasper Morrison or Kenya Hara.

Talents from Europe, USA and Asia show new values in design culture: radical, provoking, trendsetting
Over 50 projects by Jurgen Bey, BLESS, Constantin Boym, Matali Crasset, Dunne + Raby, Marti Guixé, Kram + Weisshaar etc.
Contributions by Volker Albus and Max Borka
Against the background of the growing mediocrity of worldwide industrial production, young designers with impressive potential are coming of age who stand outside the commercial trend of endless product variations and adaptations. They are fathoming new limits of the feasible and developing border-crossing ideas whose focal points are less in their formal quality but rather in the fundamental question about added cultural value, innovation, otherness and authenticity.The book presents these seekers of design with many pictures and explanatory articles: their cooperation with scientists, their anthropological and ecological reflections, their concern with art and with their own radical positions.The editor Hansjerg Maier-Aichen, born 1940, studied painting and sculpture in Germany, France and the USA before founding designmark AUTHENTICS in 1983. He is executive board member of the German Design Council, visiting professor at Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London and professor for product design at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design.
