書籍簡介

《實例研究》系列內容簡短，設計精美，探索生活中常見物件的鮮為人知的故事，激勵我們重新審視日常生活中我們習以為常的事物。

深入研究鏽蝕的世界，從對中國和美國“生鏽地帶”的調查到藝術家和建築師對鏽蝕的使用到對鏽蝕與血液之間聯繫的奇思怪想。

生鏽時時刻刻都在發生。我們掩蓋它，忽略它。鏽具有這種氧化物質的多種含義，表明技術如何滲入生物學和生態學。讓·米歇爾·拉巴特（Jean-Michel Rabate）將藝術，科學和自傳融為一體，以脱漆和生鏽的金屬板來分享它的魅力。他總結道，鏽是一個生活，建造和記憶融為一體的地方。

A far reaching and weird delve into the world of rust, ranging from investigations of the rust belts in China and the US to the use of rust by artists and architects to strange ruminations on the connections between rust and blood.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

It’s happening all the time, all around us. We cover it up. We ignore it. Rust takes on the many meanings of this oxidized substance, showing how technology bleeds into biology and ecology. Jean-Michel Rabate´ combines art, science, and autobiography to share his fascination with peeling paints and rusty metal sheets. Rust, he concludes, is a place where things living, built, and remembered commingle.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
