In this series we publish lectures held by invitation at the Institute of Book Arts. They focus on elucidating the medium of the book, typography, and its various symbols. Each volume is designed by students in the typography program at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. The series concept was awarded a bronze medal in the competition Most Beautiful Books in the World.

the looks, not the books

Farewell-Lectures
Christoph Türcke hat über zwanzig Jahre an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig gelehrt. Die »Farewell-Lectures« waren sein gefeiertes Abschiedsgeschenk. Sie entsprechen dem schon in der Antrittsvorlesung 1993 formulierten Credo: »Philosophie muss sich darstellen. Ihre gedankliche Reflexion muss Fleisch, Farbe, Plastizität bekommen, wenn sie in der Bilderflut nicht untergehen will.«

Epistemogramme
It’s hardly happenstance that the beginnings of modern-science marketing coincide with the history of a publisher whose only goal was to spread Freudian psychoanalysis. The International Psychoanalytic Publishing House was initiated in 1919 by Sigmund Freud and was one of the pioneers of modern book design.

Tschichold in Leipzig. Das Neue in der Tpografie
"I personally am the only TYPOGRAPHICAL CONSTRUCTIVIST in Leipzig." ? Tschichold, born in 1902 in Leipzig, studied at the Academy of Visual Arts with Walter Tiemann and Hermann Delitzsch and experienced the start of the city’s typographic modernity, becoming one of its important catalysts with his “New Typography,” published in 1928.

Exzess des Buches
The developments of contemporary book design occur seemingly contradictorily and randomly.
Walter Pamminger demonstrates how this variety nevertheless follows determinable patterns.
