Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:"In the early 1960's 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. For the first time, this trilogy will be published as a single volume, in an affordably-priced paperback that is sure to catch the eye of long-time Munari fans as well as introducing his creative theories to new audiences"--
