The Monocle Book of Gentle Living

A guide to slowing down, enjoying more and being happy

Tyler Brûlé, Andrew Tuck, Joe Pickard, Josh Fehnert


Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. It has encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well. To eat food whose makers are proud of its provenance. In a shouty, jabbing-finger moment in history, it has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together in The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things and see nice places. And it also knows when to wear a cheeky smile. Chapters include:

• An illustrated guide to being nice, respecting your neighbour and controlling your social media rants.

• Profiles of the happiest nations – and the least lonely too.

• How to build a house that’s good for you and your family.

• Essays from leading thinkers and great writers on what we can gain if we shift gear.

• The businesses charting a better course – from management to pride in production.

• Food – a celebration of the locally made, the chefs that bring people together and a recipe or two.

• The objects to own that will give pleasure for years.

• The people who changed direction, slowed down and made it work.

• The compact cities where you can run a company, be inspired, have a good social life – and be hiking in a forest at 5pm.

Markus Ernst Lüscher

Streifzüge durch die Verstädterung


_ Biografische Reflexionen eines Architekten
_ Selbstständige Geschichten, die an diversen Fäden zusammenhängen
_ Vom Lokalen über das Regionale zum Globalen
_ Thema der Verdichtung der Welt und was das für die Schweiz bedeutet


Ein Block mit Bleistift, ein kleiner Laptop, eine Loggia im Schatten – möglicherweise mit Blick aufs Meer: Über eineinhalb Jahrzehnte, meist in den Sommerferien, hat Architekt Markus Lüscher über seine Streifzüge durchs Leben reflektiert um herauszufinden, wie diese ihn beeinflusst und seinen Horizont erweitert haben und insbesondere sein Schweizersein prägen. Aus seinen biografisch durchsetzten Aufzeichnungen, die viel Alltägliches, Menschliches und Persönliches, aber auch Fantastisches und Groteskes beschreiben, setzt sich dieses Lesebuch zusammen.
Im Mittelpunkt stehen neben Beobachtungen und Geschichten aus der Heimat des Autors im Seetal (Kanton Aargau) und der Schweiz auch seine Erfahrungen, die er auf Reisen in andere Länder sowie im Rahmen eines längeren beruflichen Auslandaufenthaltes in Hongkong machte. Was Markus Lüscher beschreibt, ist exemplarisch für die heutige Verdichtung der globalisierten Welt, dem Wachstum von Metropolen und Agglomerationen. Er macht deutlich, dass diese Entwicklungen auch für die Schweiz in der Mitte Europas relevante Themen sind, die die Zukunft der Eidgenossenschaft maßgeblich beeinflussen.

CITY LUST

London Guangzhou Lagos Dubai Houston

–

 

Charlie Koolhaas presents a timely dialogue between words and images about a crucial moment in our recent history: the apotheosis of globalization and its current unraveling.

In her new book, Charlie Koolhaas takes us to London, Guangzhou, Lagos, Dubai and Houston, cities in which she has either lived or worked. Her personal and humorous account explores the rapid changes taking place in these culturally vastly different metropolises that are being united by the influences of global trade and the evolution of a shared global culture. A captivating combination of photographic documentary and written testimony. City Lust portrays a global landscape that contradicts the current pessimism—to reveal new creativities, unexpected possibilities and intimate connections that emerge despite huge global and economic divides.

 

Charlie Koolhaas, born 1977 in London, graduated in sociology from New York University and in Interactive Media from Goldsmith’s, University of London. She lives and works as an artist, photographer, and writer in Rotterdam. She has taught visual culture theory at TU Delft and Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, and has been a visiting lecturer at Strelka Institute in Moscow, ETH Zurich, HEAD Geneva, and Harvard Graduate School of Design.
