Fredun Shapur
Tout comme Bruno Munari ou Charles Eames, le designer Fredun Shapur (né en 1929) a porté sur le monde de l'enfance un regard particulièrement audacieux et inventif. Entre les années 1960 et 1980, il a conçu des jouets pour des fabricants tels que Naef en Suisse, Galt Toys en Grande-Bretagne, et surtout Creative Playthings aux Etats-Unis. Des puzzles en bois aux déguisements en sacs en papier figurant toutes sortes d'animaux, les jouets de Fredun Shapur ont toujours le pouvoir de surprendre et d'enchanter, tandis que son graphisme coloré et épuré reste étonnamment moderne. Fredun Shapur a aussi illustré des livres pour enfants et créé l'une des identités graphiques les plus remarquables dans le domaine du jouet, en redéfinissant l'image de Creative Playthings grâce à un logo devenu iconique. Cette première monographie sur Fredun Shapur rend un hommage longtemps attendu à son oeuvre multiforme, témoignant de sa conviction que le jeu, tout en demeurant la clé de l'apprentissage, se conjugue avec le rêve et l'imagination.

Designing the Creative Child
The postwar American stereotypes of suburban sameness, traditional gender roles, and educational conservatism have masked an alternate self-image tailor-made for the Cold War. The creative child, an idealized future citizen, was the darling of baby boom parents, psychologists, marketers, and designers who saw in the next generation promise that appeared to answer the most pressing worries of the age. Designing the Creative Child reveals how a postwar cult of childhood creativity developed and continues to this day. Exploring how the idea of children as imaginative and naturally creative was constructed, disseminated, and consumed in the United States after World War II, Amy F. Ogata argues t...

Writing About Architecture
Extraordinary architecture addresses so much more than mere practical considerations. It inspires and provokes while creating a seamless experience of the physical world for its users.

Each chapter opens with a reprint of a significant essay written by a renowned architecture critic, followed by a close reading and discussion of the writer's strategies. Lange offers her own analysis using contemporary examples as well as a checklist of questions at the end of each c...
Masks in the Forest
Don these pop-out masks and plunge into make-believe adventures in an enchanted forest. In an enchanted forest of paper, paint, and whimsy, a hapless hunter bumbles after creatures large and small, from a mother fox and her pups to forest giants and vivid birds. Bold illustrations with dream-world colors bring the woodlands to life. Nine pre-cut pop-out masks allow children to act out the story with family and friends. Slipping into the roles of the book's creatures, they can also create delightful tales of their own and lose themselves in a land of make-believe.
Listen! Listen!
Paul Rand and his wife, Ann, wrote this book for their daughter, Catherine, to explain the interplay of sound and color. Paul's distinctive papercut illustrations of bold shapes and bursts of color beautifully complement Ann's rhythmic text, encouraging children to listen and repeat noises they hear every day: the "blop" of a raindrop, the "wham!" of a shutting door, the whisper of the wind in the trees, and the "crunch crunch" of buttered toast.
