This volume gathers all three into a single object, which is where they have always belonged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMunari's method is deceptively plain: he simply accumulates instances. A circle from ancient Greece sits near a Buckminster Fuller dome; an Egyptian square gives way to Le Corbusier; Aalto appears alongside anonymous vernacular construction. What emerges from the accumulation is an argument about how form carries meaning — the circle tending toward the divine and the continuous, the square toward enclosure and safety, the triangle toward connection and structural resolution. Nothing is laboured. The reader is trusted to see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree landmark Munari titles — \u003cem\u003eThe Circle\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Square\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Triangle\u003c\/em\u003e — collected in one volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare 15 x 15 cm format, in keeping with the original Corraini editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples drawn from ancient Greece and Egypt through to Fuller, Le Corbusier and Aalto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Munari builds an argument through juxtaposition and sequence rather than exposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe symbolic associations each shape has accumulated across cultures and centuries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe functional consequences of elementary geometry in structure, typography and product design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy these books remain a touchstone for designers half a century after publication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruno Munari (1907–1998) was an Italian artist, designer and educator whose work moved freely between graphic design, product design, children's books and visual research.
