{"product_id":"9781616894122","title":"Bruno Munari: Square, Circle, Triangle","description":"In the early 1960s Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes: \u003cem\u003eCircle\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSquare\u003c\/em\u003e, and, a decade later, \u003cem\u003eTriangle\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003cp\u003eOne 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. After World War II he began to focus on book design, creating children's books known for their simplicity and playfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061270364400,"sku":"9781616894122","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616894122_p0.jpg?v=1763851621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616894122","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
