Life Style
B. Mau

LIFE STYLE is the first book to document Maus creative process and his studio practice, Bruce Mau Design (BMD). Since founding his Toronto-based studio in 1985, Mau has become one of the worlds most sought-after designers. He became an international figure following the publication of the groundbreaking and award-winning tome S,M,L,XL (Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large), which he designed and co-authored with Dutch architect and recent winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Rem Koolhaas. Written by Mau and conceived and designed by BMD, Life Style is a collection of playful and critical statements about the visual and cultural trends that influence todays image-driven environment. The book showcases the methodology, philosophy, world view and projects of BMD. With over 1,000 images and available in a variety of luminous satin covers - each reader can choose his/her color to match his/her life style.A 624-page strip tease performed with an endless variety of veils ... the book tantalizes readers with glimpses into the thinking of one of the most creative minds at work in design today.' (New York Times) 'Filled with words and images that are so awander through it, grazing and gleaning meaning as if in a department store of ideas.' (San Francisco Chronicle Magazine) 'A book form that's partly a journal of ideas, creative anthology, social critique, manifesto for change - and a superlative piece of design.' (Blueprint) 'An insightful and exhilarating analysis of image culture.' (Dazed and Confused) 'A wide-ranging, fascinating view of the world ... it offers hundreds of explanations (or observations) of what we see around us.' (Guardian)
