A new edition of a design classic on the Bauhaus with an updated preface by leading designers Ellen Lupton and J. Abbot Miller.
This intricately designed art and essay book celebrates the achievements and honors the history of the Bauhaus school and its lasting impression on architecture and graphic design around the world. The ABCs of Triangle, Square, Circle is both an homage to the school’s iconic craftsmanship and a source of inspiration for design professionals and students.
The text is a provocative exploration of the school’s aims and achievements, while the book itself is a manifesto of Bauhaus ideals, synthesizing editorial concept, typography, and craftsmanship. Ten essays by a range of creatives, including editors Ellen Lupton and J. Abbott Miller, filmmaker and graphic designer Mike Mills, and writer Tori Egherman, discuss Bauhaus’s impact on modernism, architecture, design theory, and more.
This extraordinary manual is a perfect gift for:
- Those interested in mid-century design, architecture, or color theory
- Anyone looking for unique insight into the Bauhaus’ effect on popular culture
- Students seeking information on important innovations in design history
This new edition, designed to honor the Bauhaus's aspirations, is essential for anyone interested in graphic design and twentieth-century culture.
