This is 99% Invisible.

A beautifully designed guidebook to the unnoticed yet essential elements of our cities, from the creators of the wildly popular 99% Invisible podcast

Have you ever wondered what those bright, squiggly graffiti marks on the sidewalk mean?

Or stopped to ponder who gets to name the streets we walk along?

Or what the story is behind those dancing inflatable figures in car dealerships?

99% Invisible is a big-ideas podcast about small-seeming things, revealing stories baked into the buildings we inhabit, the streets we drive, and the sidewalks we traverse. The show celebrates design and architecture in all of its functional glory and accidental absurdity, with intriguing tales of both designers and the people impacted by their designs.

Now, in The 99% Invisible City: A Field Guide to Hidden World of Everyday Design, host Roman Mars and coauthor Kurt Kohlstedt zoom in on the various elements that make our cities work, exploring the origins and other fascinating stories behind everything from power grids and fire escapes to drinking fountains and street signs. With deeply researched entries and beautiful line drawings throughout, The 99% Invisible City will captivate devoted fans of the show and anyone curious about design, urban environments, and the unsung marvels of the world around them.

You are about to see stories everywhere, you beautiful nerd. Now get out there.

原来城市里有这么多不为人知的秘密

看完本书,会对我们的生活的城市刮目相看。可能再也回不去曾经傻傻呆呆看表面状态了,主打看到什么都忍不住会想:哇!它超厉害的! 以前很喜欢用“居住在钢筋混凝土的世界”这种抱怨开篇,感觉城市似乎成了整齐划一的缺乏生命力的灰色东西。实际上,成为宜居之地,让成百上千万... (展开)

解锁城市秘密,就看这本书!

“城市的迷人之处不只在于美,还在于问题的解决、历史的局限和人性的戏剧。” 你们能想象到,红绿灯除了红黄绿居然还有蓝色的?电线杆是为了一撞就断而立的?有的纪念碑担当了城市的熏香?墙根加入了鸟反弹设计,居然为了对抗不文明行为? 这一切都是真的吗? 在这样的一本书里... (展开)

另眼相看:99%被忽略的城市细节

很小的时候,我们生活的环境仿佛乡间,出门即是绿地,抬头便是星空,没有太多的高楼和汽车,人与自然的环境是松散又惬意的。 不知道从哪一年开始,我们的日常似乎被一头叫作“工业”的巨兽入侵了,无数高楼大厦拔地而起,到处都是连绵不绝的车水马龙。城市变得冰冷,也愈发无趣... (展开)

不被这习以为常侵蚀,我们应该另眼相看

“事实上,在人们路过却未注意到,或是被绊倒过却从来没有多想过的普通物件里,蕴藏着跟最高的建筑物、最长的桥梁或景致最胜的公园同样多的天才和创新。” 试问你上次仔细观看这个城市是什么时候?当然我这里指的并不是单单抬头看那林立的高楼,亦非登高俯瞰城市的全貌。 其实... (展开)

看不见的城市

城市总有太多秘密就藏在我们的眼皮子底下,只有专门人士——历史学家、建筑师、市政工程师……懂得往哪里看、又用什么办法能破解这些秘密。 比如英国伦敦的街边围栏,竟然有些是用二战时剩余的钢制担架改造的,而街上的标志竟然是改装过的火炮: 在第二次世界大战期间,英国当... (展开)

原来我们周围有这么多被我们忽视的设计细节

这本书是《99% Invisible》播客的延伸,主要探讨了我们日常生活中的城市设计、建筑和公共空间里容易被忽视的细节,让我们重新对这些不起眼的元素产生新的认知。这也是我喜欢自己工作的原因,城市设计的原理和背景后,再走上街头,就好像带上了AR眼睛,能够看到别人可能不会注意... (展开)

百分之九十九被忽略的城市细节

我们生活的城市中有一些看似无聊的东西,它们是常常被忽视的平凡之物,《另眼相看》讲述的是许多人从未思考过的事物背后的故事,各种奇思妙想。一起来看 ...... 有一种能让坚固的柱子以恰当的方式断裂,它被称为“可脱落底座”系统。道路上若突然来了辆高速行驶的汽车撞上了这... (展开)
