Necessity is the mother of invention, but therein lies a dilemma: What must a society do if it wishes to remain inventive, yet defines itself in terms of prosperity, not need? It must take a particular stance toward prosperity, even toward excess. Clarity and a systematic approach are parts of this stance, as is the designer's ability to endow objects with ''esprit''. Ingenuity and clarity are the two poles of a field of tension that produces an impression of ease and authority. This book is a collection of Swiss architecture, graphics, and design from 1950 to the present, viewed in terms of this creative polarity.
