Being Creative Is the Easy Part
Art school doesn't always prepare creatives for the real-world challenges they'll face in their careers. This can lead to feelings of being misunderstood, slow down careers, or even increased risk of burnout. Being Creative is the Easy Part provides valuable insights into the creative process and tackles common challenges such as client interactions, time and financial management. The book covers unconventional yet crucial topics, such as the potential negative impact of excessive focus on artistry, the predictability of client behavior, misconceptions about time management, the downside of over-emphasizing efficiency, undervaluing creative work, and the benefits of setting boundaries. The book aims to empower creatives to lead happier, healthier, and more successful careers by addressing these concepts.

The New Design Museum
Explores how design and architecture museums have adapted to face contemporary concerns. The New Design Museum brings together theories and voices from leading international institutions and independent initiatives addressing the transformed--and continually transforming--nature of design in the twenty-first century and its planetary scope in both practical and discursive dimensions. By mapping a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations, it reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design need transformation--of their missions, programs, and outreach platforms--to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice. The book integrates essays by Beatrice Leanza, fifteen interviews with directors and programmers--such as Carson Chan (MoMA, New York), Ikko Yokoyama (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Aric Chen (Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam), Giovanna Borasi (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), and Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine Gallery, London)--and seventeen case studies that encompass independent organizations and platforms offering evidence of the changing paradigms of public and professional engagement with the discipline of design. The World Around (Brooklyn, NY), African Futures Institute (Accra, Ghana), Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg), Loudreaders, Instituto A Gente Transforma (Sao Paolo, Brasil), and Fundaci籀n Organizmo (Colombia), and others explore global design practices invested in decolonizing and queering agency, as well as computational, ecological, and Indigenous knowledge, and present alternative educational and collaborative frameworks of institutional development. The New Design Museum ultimately examines the critical role of cultural institutions as engines for knowledge production, where a democratic politics of mutual care and shared purpose can be explored and exercised.

Proper Design of Intakes and Outfalls for Desalination Plants
This book is based on lectures given by the author at two different IDA Congress in Dubai, 2019 [2] and Sydney, 2022 [3]. The author and engineers of the Consulting Company Increa have large and valuable experience in the design of marine installations (intake and outfall pipes and intake structure) for desalination plants as they have been designing them all over the world and in any kind of environment. This paper describes some of the problems that can happen during operation of the plants and the way they can be solved in the design stage. A proper design of marine installations should consider the most probable situations that can happen. Besides common operation, there are accidental situations and the risks associated to them should be evaluated and minimized.

Examining histories of post-war Britain, fashion, modelling, photography and popular culture, 1960s Model Girl: Narrative Identities in Fashion, Time and History explores model girl narratives found throughout media, fashion magazines, advice literature, auto/biographies and fashion exhibits.

Drawing on a wealth of archival research, case studies include teen fashion magazines Petticoat and Model Girl; advice writing of model agent Lucie Clayton and fashion journalist Suzy Menkes; autobiographies of fashion models Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy; and the Mary Quant exhibition, Victoria and Albert Museum, London (2019-2020). This book provides an intricate study of a varied and manifold figure whose impact and influence spreads further afield than a particular time, place and professional context. Closely attending to a range of model girl narratives, 1960s Model Girl illuminates the cultural past and, in turn, sheds light on our own historical present.
Dress and Identity in America
Dress and Identity in America is an examination of the conservatism and materialism that swept across the country in the late 1940s through the 1950s-a backlash to the wartime tumult, privations, and social upheavals of the Second World War.The study looks at how American men sought to recapture a masculine identity from a generation earlier, that of the stoic patriarch, breadwinner, and dutiful father, and in the process, became the men in the gray flannel suits who were complacently conventional and conformist. Parallel to that is a look at how American women, who had donned pants and went to work in wartime munitions factories or joined services like the WACS and WAVES, were now expected to stay at home as housewives and mothers, dressed in cinched, ultrafeminine New Look fashions. As the Space Age dawned, their baby boom children rejected the conventions of their elders and experimented with their own ideas of identity and dress in an emerging era of counterculture revolutions.
The Shakers: A World in the Making
A close look at the creative production of the United States Shaker communities and their influence on designers and artists past and presentEstablished in the 18th century, the Shakers were a Christian community that embraced principles of social equality, communal property and pacifism, viewing labor and design as crucial expressions of their faith. The Shakers' radically simple, functional objects have had a profound influence on modern design, inspiring generations of artists, architects and designers up to the present day. The Shakers: A World in the Making accompanies the eponymous exhibition--designed by Milan-based studio Formafantasma--which will showcase a wide range of Shaker furniture, architecture, tools and commercial goods. Works by contemporary artists and designers, including Chris Halstr繪m, Christien Meindertsma and Kameelah Janan Rasheed, enter into dialogue with the historic exhibits, reflecting on the Shakers' enduring relevance. The publication includes a rich array of thematic essays contextualizing the Shakers within the wider design, architecture and art canon, detailed studies of selected exhibits as well as personal insights by the contributing artist. Contemporary object and architectural photography offers a fresh perspective on one of the most compelling communal experiments of recent centuries.The exhibition is organized by the Vitra Design Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia.

I Am Digital
I Am Digital takes you on an intimate journey through Flora Miranda's extraterrestrial world of phygital (physical plus digital) identities. Explore technological storytelling, artistic haute couture creations and visions for creative fashion software. In the book, the multitude of Flora Miranda's work unfolds in different subject areas.

Expressing, shaping, and exploring this further evolving digital identity is the role of Flora Miranda's creations. This book is your companion to navigate through bits and bytes. To feel strong in a jungle of hackers. It can inspire you to take things into your own hand - may it be a change of perspective on the world, may it be transformative, may it support projects you believe in, or may it help to build your own world.
