The Rijksmuseum recently acquired various works on paper relating to the Feuchère family of bronze founders, who had a workshop in Paris during the late eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries. Amongst these materials is an edition of Léon Feuchère’s publication L’Art Industriel: recueil de dispositions et de décorations intérieures, comprenant des modèles pour toutes les industries d’ameublement et de luxe … It concealed a hundred preliminary drawings for the volume’s plates, with designs for an array of objects of applied art in various neostyles. The present article compares the publication and the inserted drawings. The latter are also compared to other drawings related to the Feuchère family that the Rijksmuseum acquired. In the process, it becomes clear that underlying Léon Feuchère’s design process was the aspiration to conceive of object and ornament in harmony. The article suggests that this aspiration was related to concerns surrounding the industrialization and commercialization of the production of applied arts.

Ismar David was a prolific calligrapher, type designer, graphic designer, and illustrator who also engaged in architectural design and taught calligraphy. He studied applied arts in Berlin, emigrating to Jerusalem in 1932 and to New York in 1952. From the 1930s to the 1990s, he created a wealth of unique designs, most importantly the David Hebrew typeface family. It was the first comprehensive Hebrew typeface family, comprising nine styles that include a true Hebrew italic style and a monolinear style, equivalent to a Latin sans serif. David Hebrew provides an example of how a research-based design process can help negotiate the tension between old and new, leading to an innovative, well-informed design solution. David not only excelled in his groundbreaking approach to Hebrew type design for existing glyphs, but he went a step further, expanding the character set. After David completed the design of his typeface family in 1954, it was partially cast for machine composition by the Intertype Corporation. During that period, David relocated to New York to pursue his creative career.

The present article analyzes the possibility of introducing principles of universal design into the design process of objects, the designs of which provide for the presence of light elements. Compliance with the principles of universal design will allow to fill the environment with more sophisticated design objects that will be convenient and accessible to people regardless of their features. At the same time, the designer often uses a light, or light medium in his work. Light environment can be considered the configuration of light fluxes and objects creating them, transmitting, reflecting and scattering. Such objects can be both of artificial and natural origin. If we consider questions of the interaction of light medium with objects and their aggregates (we can talk both about objects that serve as a source of light and about objects interacting with light), then we can talk about the object-light medium.

This article investigates how the perception of living in novel times influenced Spanish intellectuals from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century when they wrote or thought about history. The perception of time would influence the way in which history was written, and in turn this would reflect the model of society that Spanish intellectuals aspired to when they turned to the past for the political and social features they wanted for their present and future. At that time, different time perceptions coexisted and combined in a very complex fashion; the present article, however, is focused on the perception of time mainly as an opportunity, with its advances and retreats, doubts and problems. The article will show how those intellectuals thought about history and the various solutions they put forward for society’s problems.

The author's 2005 Leonardo publication documented a biology-based procedure for generating experimental digital architecture. The text evolved out of Louis Sullivan's morphological lexicon and design process as articulated in A System of Architectural Ornament. The present article is rooted in that paper but here infused with theoretical ideas from Leibniz, Deleuze, Rajchman and Dawkins emphasizing biodesign and bioarchitecture's role as part of nature. In addition, new projects and digitally grown tree/truss experiments illustrate generative, digital-botanic designs integrating biological simulation and/or 3D parametric components inspired by nature.
