Thick or thin, smooth or rough, porous or impermeable, the skin is the line between the hidden inside and the outside we experience. Skin: Surface, Substance, and Design presents products, furniture, fashion, architecture, and media that are expanding the limits of what we understand as surface. Reflecting the convergence of natural and artificial life, this provocative and stimulating book shows how enhanced and simulated skins appear everywhere in our contemporary world. Designers today manipulate the relationship between the inside and outside of objects, garments, and buildings, creating skins that both reveal and conceal, skins that have depth and complexity as well as their own behaviors and identities. </P> <P>Skin features the work of such notable designers and architects as Greg Lynn, Petra Blaisse, SPEEDO, Morphosis, Ross Lovegrove, Marcel Wanders, and many others. It also contains essays on artificial skin and digital surfaces, and a glossary of surface materials. It reminds us that beauty is indeed only skin-deep. This book accompanies a major exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.</P> 67577 1 3 2002 Skin: Surface, Substance, and Design total:19|5:3|4:10|3:5|2:1|1:0| 19 72 24 0 5 0 false false Thu Dec 03 09:17:32 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 03 10:20:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 16:07:33 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 16:07:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 04 16:57:38 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 16:57:38 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 16 22:55:24 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 22:55:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Feb 21 13:02:45 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 13:02:45 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 12:31:50 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 12:31:50 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 22 15:07:30 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 15:07:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 24 08:42:16 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 08:42:16 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Sep 21 13:10:04 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 13:10:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 19 10:29:52 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 10:29:52 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 12 06:56:43 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 06:56:43 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 11 04:59:40 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 04:59:40 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jun 04 13:52:18 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 13:52:18 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Mar 05 06:20:02 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 06:20:05 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 05 09:05:50 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 09:05:50 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Jan 03 20:53:47 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 20:54:07 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 05:52:26 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 01 05:52:26 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Dec 05 12:16:37 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 12:16:37 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Tue Nov 20 14:18:31 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 14:18:31 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Thu Nov 15 05:31:04 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 15 05:31:04 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=69741
