Ruedi Baur's Intégral: A Visual and Verbal Essay on Graphic Design
The publication 'Intégral,' created by Ruedi Baur, builds upon a work released in 2002 by Éditions Lars Müller. It showcases accomplishments, ongoing projects, collaborations, and the narrative of the Intégral Concept network. This visual and textual essay includes Baur's insightful writing, supplemented by remarks he received. A third level of reading offers captions that describe various projects without strict categorization. A notable feature of the book is a section containing seven interviews, inspired by the title's verbs, with scholars from sociology and semiotics. For example, 'Orienter' explores the influence of design on reorientation with philosopher Bernard Stiegler. This essay serves as an important resource beyond the realm of graphic design.
