No other automobile was able to combine form and technology so coherently and seemingly effortlessly.

In collaboration with Lars M ller Publishers the Swiss architect Christian Sumi published the new edition of AS in DS by Alison and Peter Smithson in 2001. In this new book he now analytically examines the characteristics of this classic vehicle which he documents in carefully arranged picture series and with drawings by Flaminio Bertoni and the Citro n design team such as of the body the chassis or the legendary hydraulics. Using image essays from advertising campaigns for the Citro n DS Sumi critically examines its iconization and reception along with theories that discuss the phenomenon in both a contemporary and philosophical context.
