I managed to squeeze in a quick trip around the Design Museum last Saturday during a v quick London trip. The Dieter Rams was amazing as David said, but I also really enjoyed this book rainbow by Jiggery Pokery. Pretty, fun and (coming from someone who does a fair amount of building block building) it's an impressive structural feat too.And reminded me of this other book structure I saw last year at the UWE end of year show. Excavating Babel. This was quite an imposing and exciting piece - you weren't quite sure how stable it all was... fun to walk inside.
Am currently planning the new Newport Uni, Photo Art book. I like trying to see books as objects, rather than just graphical layouts. I'm feeling drawn to the look of an obviously used, old book, as opposed to a clean cut new one. Might try to do something with exposed binding...
