Il cerchio
Inhalt:
"In the early 1960s Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes:Circle, Square, and, a decade later, Triangle. Using examples from ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as works by Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari invests the three shapes with specific qualities: the circle relates to the divine, the square signifies safety and enclosure, and the triangle provides a key connective form for designers."

MACHINE-GENERATED NOTE ABOUT AUTHOR(S)/EDITOR(S): "One of the great designers of the twentieth century, Munari contributed to the fields of painting, sculpture, design, and photography while teaching throughout his seventy-year career.
