A new edition compiling three classic titles—The Square, The Circle, and The Triangle—by the eminent Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari into a single comprehensive volume.
Originally published between the 1960s and 1970s, these books meticulously unravel the inherent qualities of the most fundamental geometric shapes: the square, the circle, and the triangle. From ancient Egyptian and Greek archaeological artefacts to the works of prominent modern architects and designers such as Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari draws upon a diverse range of historical and cultural references to explore the meaning behind each form.
The circle is associated with the divine and the infinite, the square signifies security and protection, whilst the triangle underpins structural connection. Bringing together these three iconic texts, this volume serves as a remarkable miniature encyclopaedia. Through drawings and reflections that intersect history, anthropology, and the natural sciences, the author collects and describes captivating and enigmatic uses of these shapes across the centuries.
This edition is published by Corraini Edizioni, an Italian gallery and publisher widely known for its close collaborative partnership with Bruno Munari from the 1980s until his final years.
