On Earth Overshoot Day, the date marking when humanity has used up the renewable resources the planet can provide for that year, we remember the words of the designer, theorist and futurist Buckminster Fuller:

“It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting our high technology from weaponry to livingry.” – Richard Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path, 1981

🎉 Following over four decades of independent publishing, we are delighted to announce that Lars Müller Publishers has become part of the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, the nonprofit public charity headquartered in San Francisco that is dedicated to sharing the insights of Ray and Charles Eames with the world.

As part of this new development, Lars Müller will continue to guide the publishing program, with the support of two long-standing collaborators – Jonas Voegeli and Kerstin Landis of Hubertus Design – who will join our design and editorial team in Zurich. They will gradually play a vital role in shaping the next generation of publishing projects.

This next chapter with the Eames Institute is therefore defined by continuity and renewed energy, grounded in a shared vision for independent publishing at the intersection of design, culture, and education. By integrating our publishing program with the Eames Institute’s expansive collection, research, and educational initiatives, the combined organization will broaden public access to seminal ideas that inspire creative inquiry.

We are very excited to join the growing family of the Eames Institute, which includes our longstanding partner in San Francisco, William Stout Architectural Books. Through this collaboration, we will remain a platform for progressive voices (past, present and future) in architecture, design, visual arts, and social discourse.

📕 "Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI" — Discover Uzbekistan’s overlooked modernist heritage through research, documentation, and conservation strategies.

📕 "Experimental Preservation" — Challenging traditional methods, this collection of essays highlights preservation as critical inquiry, aesthetic exploration, and political engagement.

“I wanted to find an answer to the question of how architecture and music could come together at all.” — Marcel Meili

Meili (1953–2019) was a renowned Swiss architect known for blending architecture with civic thought and cultural resonance.

His vision for the Klanghaus Toggenburg went far beyond the conventional concert hall or music studio. He imagined a resonating wooden structure that listens as much as it sounds—an instrument shaped by landscape, space and acoustics.

With curved timber walls that mirror the alpine terrain and hidden resonance chambers that can be opened or closed, the Klanghaus invites experimentation, collaboration, and exploration.

📖 Discover Meili’s vision and legacy in our new book, "Resonances: Klanghaus Toggenburg" co-edited by Erol Doguoglu, Mirjam Fischer and Astrid Staufer.
