Art Architecture Design New Titles The MIT Press Picturing Science and Engineering Felice C. Frankel “As we create ever more sophisticated tools to explore the micro and macro universe, it’s easy to become detached from agape understanding and appreciation of what we can’t see, feel, and sense. Felice Frankel’s work brings those worlds within reach, so that we can appreciate not only the technical marvels but also the enormous beauty and infinite variety of creation, both natural and manmade.”—Yo-Yo Ma “With the clarity of an expert and the passion of a true aficionado, Frankel once again proves to be crucial in bridging scientific discovery and public consciousness.” —Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Architecture & Design, Director, Research & Development, The Museum of Modern Art One of the most powerful ways for scientists to document and communicate their work is through photography. In this book, celebrated science photographer Felice Frankel offers a guide for creating science images that are both accurate and visually stunning. Picturing Science and Engineering provides detailed instructions for making science photographs using the DSLR camera, the flatbed scanner, and the phone camera. The book includes a series of step-by-step case studies, describing how final images were designed for cover submissions and other kinds of visualizations. Lavishly illustrated in color throughout, the book encourages the reader to learn by doing, following Frankel as she recreates the stages of discovery that lead to a good science visual. Felice C. Frankel is an award-winning science photographer whose photographs have appeared in many publications. A research scientist in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT, she is the author of Envisioning Science (MIT Press), No Small Matter (with G. M. White- sides), On the Surface of Things (with G. M. Whitesides), and Visual Strategies (with Angela H. DePace). Published with the generous support of Furthermore: a program of the J. M.

Muriel Cooper David Reinfurt and Robert Wiesenberger Afterword by Nicholas Negroponte Foreword by Lisa Strausfeld Muriel Cooper (192199) was the pioneering designer who created the iconic MIT Press colophon (or logo)—seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (199), and the graphically dazzling and controversial fi rst edition of Learning from Las Vegas (192). She used an off set press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper was the fi rst design director of the MIT Press, the cofounder of the isible Language Workshop at MIT, and the fi rst woman to be granted tenure at MIT’s Media Lab, where she developed software interfaces and taught a new generation of designers. She began her four-decade career at MIT by designing vibrant printed fl yers for the O ce of Publications; her fi nal projects were digital. This lavishly illustrated volume documents Cooper’s career in abundant detail, with prints, sketches, book covers, posters, mechanicals, student projects, and photographs, from her work in design, teaching, and research at MIT. A humanist among scientists, Cooper embraced dynamism, simultaneity, transparency, and expressiveness across all the media she worked in. More than two decades after her career came to a premature end, Muriel Cooper’s legacy is still unfolding. This beautiful slip-cased volume, designed by asuyo Iguchi, looks back at a body of work that is as contemporary now as it was when Cooper was experimenting with IBM Selectric typewriters. She designed design’s future. David Reinfurt, a graphic designer, is cofounder of Dexter Sinister and The Serving Library, an online and print publishing project, and a Lecturer at Princeton University. His work is in the permanent collections of Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Robert Wiesenberger is Critic at the Yale School of Art, where he teaches the history of graphic design, and a PhD candidate in art history at Columbia University. As the 2014–2016 Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow at the Harvard Art Museums, he was responsible for the museums’ Bauhaus collections.f September 2017 | Boxed Hardcover | $60.00/£47.00 | 240 pp. | 10 x 14 | 202 color illus., 137 b&w illus. | 9780262036504

Celebrate the Past, Present, and Future of the Bauhaus through MIT Press Books 2019 marks the centenary of the Bauhaus. Events, exhibitions and publications designed to celebrate the Bauhaus experiment and its past, present, and future are scheduled around the world. In 1969, the MIT Press published a book that became the definitive guide to the Bauhaus School from its origins in Weimar to its establishment in Dessau and Berlin to its eventual but short-lived appearance as the New Bauhaus in Chicago. Fifty years later, this book remains the essential resource on the development, accomplishments, and legacy of the Bauhaus—a school that would shape modernist architecture, design, and typography, and much of the discourse surrounding it. Hans Wingler’s monumental Bauhaus: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin, Chicago is arguably the most iconic book ever published by the MIT Press and certainly one of the monuments of 20th-century architec- tural publishing. Designed by Muriel Cooper, Bauhaus remains not only one of Cooper’s greatest legacies in book design, but also a high point in the history of Design. Or as Muriel would simply say, of design itself. Other areas at the MIT Press that bear the imprint and influence of Bauhaus philosophy and aesthetics: the “totalizing” approach to design that Cooper brought to the MIT Press in the 1960s and 70s, in which catalogs, brochures, and letterhead received the same attention as books and jour- nals—and in which individual designers’ names were subsumed within the collective project; and the MIT Press colophon—a branding device that required no words, that said exactly and only what it needed to say, without explanation or translation. The publication of Hans Wingler’s Bauhaus was a singular event in the history of the MIT Press, but it exists within a long tradition of Bauhaus-related books, a selection of which are listed here, including our forthcoming titles: Gyorgy Kepes: Undreaming the Bauhaus by John R. Blakinger; Haunted Bauhaus: Occult Spiritualities, Gender Fluidities, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics by Elizabeth Otto (Fall 2019), and Bauhaus Futures by Laura Forlano, Molly Wright Steenson, and Mike Ananny (Fall 2019) (see page 2).
