This morning we realised that Amandine’s work on books used for typesetting had been featured by Cory Doctorow on BoingBoing. See the post here.

In her work, Amandine is using books the same way printers of the pre-digital era used cast metal to compose texts. One of Amandine’s output for this work has been a poster, exhibited at ‘Back to Basics’ in Carnaby Street, London – and is available from SuperMarketo: Booksetting Poster

This saturday, Alexandre Bettler organised a Bread Workshop: Le Corbusier Bakes Units”; part of the Le Corbusier exhibition at Barbican, there was a day of activities and workshop – see here for more details and here for pictures of the event on Flickr.

* One of the ‘The Bread Workshops’ is actually developped, documented and explained in the book Alexandre is selling on SuperMarketo: ‘The Bread Workshop’:

Designed as three books in one, each one has its specific format, design and typeface and depicts a specific bread workshop organised in 2005 as part of the ‘Pan-european/Pan-européen’ project.
