Item description from seller

Neu -Few vehicles have traveled as far in the cultural imagination as the Land Rover. Once a utilitarian workhorse, it has become a revered design icon, continually reinterpreted across generations and geographies. LAND explores this evolution through a design-led lens, showcasing bespoke restorations and conceptual reworks by builders, designers, collectors, and adventurers worldwide. At its core, the book examines how function becomes form, how nostalgia fuels innovation, and how a tool evolves into an object of creative intent.; Kaum ein Fahrzeug ist seiner Form und Funktion so treu geblieben wie der Land Rover. Als robustes Arbeitsfahrzeug entwickelt, wurde er über Jahrzehnte hinweg neu gelesen, neu genutzt und neu interpretiert. LAND blickt auf diese Verschiebung aus gestalterischer Perspektive und zeigt individuelle Restaurierungen und konzeptionelle Umbauten von Buildern, Designern, Sammlern und Abenteurern weltweit. Im Fokus steht nicht Veränderung um der Veränderung willen, sondern die Frage, wie Beständigkeit, Gebrauch und Geschichte ein Fahrzeug zum kulturellen Objekt machen. 256 pp. Englisch.
