Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Präsentation 1955 war der Citroën DS gleichermassen Sensation und Faszination für Designer, Philosophen und Politiker. Kein anderes Fahrzeug vermochte Form und Technologie scheinbar mühelos so stimmig zu vereinen. Radikal in seiner Ausführung und revolutionär in Sachen Komfort und Sicherheit, ist der DS einer der innovativsten Design-Ikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts.In Kollaboration mit Lars Müller Publishers, veröffentlichte der Schweizer Architekt Christian Sumi 2001 eine neue Edition "AS in DS" (Alison Smithson in DS). In diesem neuen Werk, untersucht er die Charakteristiken dieses vollendeten Automobils anhand sorgfältig arrangierter Fotoserien und Zeichnungen von Falminio Bertoni und dem Citroën Designteam, die Innen und Aussenkonstruktion des DS detailliert aufzeigen. Mit Hilfe von Fotoessays der damaligen Werbekampagnen zum Citroën DS, analysiert Sumi dessen Ikonisierung, Wahrnehmung und Theorien, welche das Phänomen in einem zeitgenössischen und philosophischen gleichermassen kontextualisieren.
When Bruno Sacco walked through the doors on his first day at Mercedes-Benz on 13 January 1958, it is highly unlikely that his Daimler-Benz colleagues could ever imagine that this nervous young man would not only revolutionize design but would change the way design and innovation connected with brand tradition forever. Bruno Sacco is one of the most influential automotive designers of the late twentieth century; many models launched during his era now characterize the Mercedes-Benz brand. When Nik Greene asked Bruno Sacco to assist with this book, he replied humbly "No-one designs a car alone, and more to the point, I never, for one minute, wanted to. From the moment I became Head of Design, I put down my pens and became a manager of minds." With over 330 photographs and illustrations, this book includes an overview of the early days of functional vehicle design and the influence of safety on design evolution. The protagonists of Daimler-Benz design from Hermann Ahrens to Paul Bracq are covered. Design philosophy and innovation under Bruno Sacco is discussed along with the Sacco-designed cars and, finally, the Bruno Sacco legacy.
