Walter Diethelm with Dr. Marion Diethelm: VISUAL TRANSFORMATION: CREATIVE TENDENCIES IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, FINE ART, TECHNOLOGY, AND INFORMATION TECHNIQUES. Zurich: ABC Verlag, 1982. First edition. Text in German, French, and English. A near-fine hardcover book in glazed pictorial boards with a near-fine dustjacket: a remarkably well-preserved copy. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. 10.25 x 10 hardcover book with 180 pages with over 300 color and b/w illustrations. From the introduction "On Visual Transformation": "Life means change, conversion, and transformation. Visualization makes it possible to grasp the idea of transformation. The extent and speed of change in a man-made environment are to be seen in urban development and also in the developed landscape ever more subjected to the needs of traffic, building, and industrialization. Visualization transforms the natural living-space into a kind of artificial super-structure, which can, perhaps, also be artistically designed."
