Frame – Issue 138
Regular price SFr. 30.00 Save SFr. -30.00January/February 2021
The January/February issue of Frame outlines what the future office must be if it is to remain relevant.
The work-from-home revolution has fast-forwarded in 2020, leaving large-scale employers question the need to continue to invest in centralized office spaces. But rather than see this past year as a sign that the era of the office is over, it’s an opportunity to take a look at what has been preventing it from reaching its full potential. The January/February issue of Frame outlines what the future office must be if it is, ultimately, to remain relevant.
Reporting From
William Richards looks at two Washingtons after gentrification’s first wave of change. Lukas Feireiss asks to what degree the German capital is both a benefiter and prisoner of its own myth and cliché – and what Berlin can learn from its past, for its future.
Business of Design
How hotels can become the centre of their communities. Why vending machines are experiencing a retail renaissance. How ‘schoolcations’ could transform luxury hospitality. How the pandemic helped interior designers correct their course. And: what it takes to build a net-zero interior.
In Practice
Mariana Schmidt and André Pepato, cofounders of São Paulo studio MNMA, talk about why they purposefully create ‘unfinished’ projects. Hong-Kong based William Lim of architecture firm CL3 shares how Covid-19 has shifted his focus towards health and the environment. Ekene Ijeoma, Nigerian-American artist and founder of MIT Media Lab’s Poetic Justice group, explains how he draws on data and lived experience to explore social inequality through his multimedia works. Plus, Laura Lee, CEO of the Maggie’s cancer support centres, explains why architectural briefs should prioritize feeling over function.
Spaces
Semiotics agency Axis Mundi looks at how brick is being used across a range of spaces to revive both ancient and modern traditions. What’s more, we explore how live performances look in (extended) reality; how churches prioritize community over communion; how a cruise ship targets a younger, experience-driven generation; and why a car dealership focuses on membership, not dealership.
Work Lab
Challenged by the remote-working experiment of 2020, we asked global thought leaders if there’s still a future for the good-old hub office. Based on their visions, we lay out what a more resilient, responsive and responsible workplace might look like.
The Challenge: the Office of Tomorrow
In the lead-up to each issue, we challenge emerging designers to respond to the Frame Lab theme with a forward-looking concept. The past year has shed new light on the role of the office, prompting those who use one to reconsider its relevance. There are lessons to be found in not just the pandemic period, but the time before that. What were workplaces missing? What has working from home taught us? What would make us want to go back to the physical office? We asked four creative practices to share their ideas.
Market
Flexible furnishings for the home, office and more. Top picks from Milano Design City. Why carpeting is important. How to design for dementia.
Established in 1997, FRAME is the world’s leading media brand for interior-design professionals.
VISION

MISSION

Belly Full: Caribbean food in the UK (2nd Ed.)

BELLY FULL: Caribbean Food in the UK is a journey tracing the story of British Caribbean culture and heritage through one the regions biggest passions -
its amazing food. This book features just a snapshot of the food landscape of Jamaica to Guyana with profiles from over seventy locations including cafés, bakeries, butchers, takeaways and diners. All with a unique story.
Be it London, Liverpool or Leeds, you quickly realize that these places are much more than just pitstops to eat. These establishments mean so much to their local communities and this book hopes to shine a light not just on their food but the local legends behind them.
We wanted to add more stories and more faces this time but that comes with a trade-off. Adding 8-12 more pages over thousands of units adds up quickly! So we decided to sacrifice the big size of the first edition to make that happen.

Regular price SFr. 22.00 Save SFr. -22.00Weapons of Reason – Issue 8
Regular price SFr. 20.00 Save SFr. -20.00War has always been an essential tool of statecraft and empire building — a necessary means to acquire natural and human resources and expand territory. As a result, humanity is extremely adept at making excuses for it, using simple and effective narratives as an incitement to take up arms and lay down lives. But what use are these old tricks in a progressively globalised world, in which trade, travel and technology connect us more than ever before? War, what is it good for?
Weapons of Reason makes it easier to understand complex global issues, communicating them with ruthless simplicity while remaining impartial, sincere, and without agenda.
We offer deep dives on subjects that really matter, written by world experts and impartial journalists, rather than report stories for ad revenue or clickbait.
In a world saturated by photography, image-making has an extraordinary power to better communicate stories that matter. We’re experts in translating complex ideas into a clear, clean visual language.
We aim to connect the world with reason, giving our audience the information it needs to make more informed decisions and the resources required to take action. We want our readers to become doers.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Regular price SFr. 21.50 Save SFr. -21.50By Mark Manson
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

BIG. Formgiving. – An Architectural Future History
Regular price SFr. 55.00 Save SFr. -55.00Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG(Bjarke Ingels Group), is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time. The Danish word for “design” is “formgivning,” which literally means to give form to that which has not yet taken shape. In other words, to give form to the future. Using our power to give form, rather than allowing the future to take shape, is more important now than ever, as humankind’s impact on the planet continues to increase and pose ever greater challenges to all life forms. Architecture plays a special role by proposing spaces for our lives that are fragments of the future in the making. William Gibson’s words embody architecture’s role perfectly: “The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.”
With Formgiving, BIG presents the third part of its TASCHEN trilogy, which began with Yes is More, one of the most successful architectural books of its generation, and continued with Hot to Cold. An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation. The book is presented in a timeline, stretching from the Big Bang into the most distant future. Projects are structured around six strands of evolution—“Making,” “Sensing,” “Sustaining,” “Thinking,” “Healing,” and “Moving”—the multimedia-based, interdisciplinary concepts encompassing the building industry. Culture, climate, and landscape, as well as all the energies derived from the elements—the thermal mass of the ocean, the dynamics of currents, the energy and warmth of the sun, the power of the wind—are incorporated into these projects. Throughout more than 700 pages, Bjarke Ingels presents his personal selection of projects, including the 12,000-square-meter LEGO House in Denmark, the human-made ecosystems floating on oceans, the redesign of a World War II bunker into a contemplative museum, and the ski slope-infused power plant celebrating Copenhagen’s commitment to carbon neutrality. Through architecture and design, BIG gives shape to a sustainable and simultaneously colorful world.
Bjarke Ingels: “To feel that we have license to imagine a future different from today, all we have to do is look back ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, to realize how radically different things were then than they are today. The same will be true if we can look ahead with the same clarity of vision. As we tackle the complexities of everyday life, these six evolutionary trajectories allow us to place a firm gaze on the horizon of time to prevent us from being derailed by the random distractions of today. Since we know from our past that our future is bound to be different from our present, rather than waiting for it to take shape on its own, we have the power to give it form.”
Formgiving is also a companion volume to the exhibition of the same name, which was conceived at the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen and will travel to other venues worldwide. More than 65 projects document BIG’s global work through the eyes of their users, from the drawing board to global construction sites and finished projects. Throughout the book are insights into developments that reach five, ten, or fifty years into the future, and evidence of BIG’s intransigence to reach beyond the ordinary, and beyond worlds, to contribute to the future with each project. Each step not only reveals a world that resembles our dreams but also already tries to realize these dreams pragmatically. We have the power to create the world of tomorrow!

Fotograf – Issue 37
Regular price SFr. 22.00 Save SFr. -22.00The opportunities to encounter the Other – someone other than myself – are transforming dynamically, thanks in part to technological developments and the possibilities for sharing both images and other information. However, we often isolate ourselves in smooth bubbles of sameness and the others disappear. Photography mediates encounters, but it is also a medium that alienates. Uneven terrain is a place where we meet; where our relationships take place, whether they are personal or social and political.
The aim of this issue is to seek out possibilities for encounters and the sharing of emotions through the media of photography and video, which either balance out the unevenness of the terrain or allow both parties to profit from it. As the terrain is uneven, our aim is to give space to works that facilitate encounters with the Other and to revive the function that in this sense can be attributed to the documentary media of photography and film.

Pasolini – Der apokalyptische Anarchist
Regular price SFr. 36.50 Save SFr. -36.50Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922 – 1975) erscheint von heute aus als eine der produktivsten und anregendsten Gestalten in der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nicht nur wegen seiner vielfachen Begabungen als Sprachforscher, Literat, Journalist und Filmer, sondern auch aufgrund seiner Themen bleibt er inspirierend und provokativ. Im heutigen Europa der Nivellierungen, Verordnungen und durch den Code politischer Korrektheit geschützter Verlogenheiten fehlt seine Stimme schmerzlich. Pasolini hat niemals die Archaik der abgelegenen Regionen nur verklärt oder den Fortschritt nur verdammt, sondern in der Aneignung beider Pole eine umfassende Poetik des experimentierenden Denkens entworfen. Hans Ulrich Recks Buch zeigt seine Aktualität: Dass Pasolini in so vielem bitter Recht bekommen hat, war Ausdruck seiner Hellsichtigkeit, untergründige Zeichen seiner Zeit eben nicht im Hinblick auf „große Thesen“ oder „Erzählungen“ zu lesen. Das Buch erscheint in der Buchreihe Analyse & Exzess.

Pure Freude – Andreas Caminada
Regular price SFr. 39.90 Save SFr. -39.90Andreas Caminada
Wie denkt ein Spitzenkoch bei der Zubereitung einfacher Speisen? Wie setzt er verschiedene Geschmacksrichtungen ein, um zugleich Leichtigkeit und Raffinesse in seine Gerichte zu bringen? Andreas Caminada erklärt in seinem neuen Kochbuch, warum Säure für ihn einen so hohen Stellenwert besitzt, was es mit dem Wort »umami« auf sich hat, was ihn an Bitterem fasziniert, welche Bedeutung Süsses in seiner Küche hat und weshalb er Salz für die wichtigste Zutat überhaupt hält. Rund 50 Rezepte von der gebeizten Forelle mit Rande und Rauchvinaigrette bis zum Hefeküchlein mit Vanilleeis regen zum Nachkochen und Nachdenken an. Denn auch diese Botschaft möchte Caminada vermitteln: Wenn man einmal verstanden hat, wie die Harmonie in einem Gericht entsteht, lässt sich das Rezept auf ganz viele Arten variieren. Der Bündner Fotograf Gaudenz Danuser setzt neben Gerichten und Landschaft auch besondere Menschen in Szene, die Andreas Caminada mit aussergewöhnlichen Produkten beliefern.

Ruedi Baur and his research team investigate and analyze visual graphics from different cultures and identify their specific principles of depiction.
The research was preceded by a comprehensive case study on the coexistence of Chinese and Latin as well as Arabic and Latin writing. The study culminates in an examination of the conditions under which the coexistence of diverse writing systems can enhance intercultural visual communication. This theme occupies designers in all cultures whose goal it is to promote global understanding while preserving the diversity of languages and writing systems.
