Au croisement de l'art, de la typographie et de l'architecture, les projets présentés dans cet ouvrage donnent une dimension nouvelle au mot écrit et aux caractères. Chiffre géant, sculpture en braille, citations placées au sol et installations poétiques forment autant de points de repère, de réflexion ou de rêverie au sein des espaces urbains. Dans ces villes ponctuées par le lettrage, les noms des victimes de drames s'affichent sur les murs, l'heure se lit sur la façade des immeubles et les plaques d'égout se font oeuvres d'art. L'auteure nous invite ainsi, de New York à Barcelone en passant par Séoul, à un voyage artistique, historique et empreint d'émotions. Quand les installations typographiques s'emparent de l'espace de nos villes, ce sont en effet la mémoire et la poésie qui y rythment nos pas.

LetterScapes is a tribute to the power of type writ large. A global survey of one of the most creative areas of public art – 
large-scale typographic installations – featuring work by 
nearly forty practitioners. Today we are bombarded with words – public spaces are saturated with a discordant mix of messages. But sometimes a sentence, a word or even a single letter can stop us in our tracks. LetterScapes features thirty-seven such works from all over the world, by artists and designers with large international followings. Photographs, maps and diagrams explore each project in detail, and an introduction highlights the cultural importance and common themes of the works featured. Interviews with key designers provide a personal insight into why they chose words over images to transmit their message, how the locations for their work are chosen, how they selected the material and the typeface, and how they think their work connects with its particular landscape or setting.
