Thomas Ludwig Livres

Thomas Ludwig reveals design characteristics when aiming at researching information infrastructures and their diverse information resources, types of users and systems as well as divergent practices. By conducting empirically-based design case studies in the domain of crisis management, the author uncovers methodological and design challenges in understanding new kinds of interconnected information infrastructures from a praxeological perspective. Based on implemented novel ICT tools, he derives design characteristics that focus on integrating objective and subjective queried insights into situated activities of people as well as emphasizing the subjective nature of information quality.

The „small guides“ illustrate churches, monasteries, palaces, castles, regions with a special artistic background, cities and museums in Europe. When collected, they supply a richly illustrated topographical library of European art treasures. On the basis of current research, the „small guides“ give an informed overview on history, architects, style, epoch and the significance of images of the respective places. The texts are concise and intelligible for all and may be read in the time at the disposal for a visit. The modern layout and the brilliant photographs make the reader to delight in the lecture and to resume it at home. As a supplement to the „small guides“, more than 270 „big guides“ have been published up to now. They offer more detailed information in a bigger format. Some monuments are presented by audio books or audio guides for iPhones or smartphones, produced by our subsidiary company Artguide.

Goethe bezeichnete Ovids "Verwandlungen" als seine Lieblingslektüre in der Kindheit. Das Buch war im 18. Jh. äußerst beliebt und gehört bis heute zum Bildungskanon. Doch kennen wir die Geschichten von Europa, Daphne, Leda und Andromeda und ihre Liebesgeschichten wirklich?
