Bruno Munari

How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever. Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as �the new Leonardo�. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children�s books, advertising, cars and chairs � these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.

Da cosa nasce cosa

«Fantasia. Tutto ciò che prima non c'era anche se irrealizzabile.» Fantasia, invenzione, creatività e immaginazione nelle comunicazioni visive. È possibile capire come funzionano queste facoltà umane? Che relazione hanno con l'intelligenza e la memoria? Munari spiega tutto ciò con argomenti chiari e moltissimi esempi visivi noti e ignoti. E anche come si stimola la creatività e come si può allenare la mente a essere più elastica e più pronta.

Invenzione, creatività e immaginazione nelle comunicazioni visive

Fantasia

In the early 1960s Italian design legend 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. One 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.

Bruno Munari reflexiona en este libro sobre el diseño como culminación de procesos. El recorrido que efectúa el diseñador desde que se enfrenta con un problema funcional hasta la proyectación y configuración de su solución material, se analiza de una manera sistemática, discutiendo y clarificando cada paso, hasta el punto de que los así enlazados se convierten en el claro camino que conduce hacia la comprensión de lo que es el diseño en su esencia. .

Young readers will enjoy Munari's bright, bold illustrations; older readers will appreciate hiswry humor. From children to collectors, Bruno Munari's Zoo is certain to enchant a whole new generation. "Graphic designer Bruno Munari is one of the most inventive picture book creators I know. I have been inspired, entertained, and in awe of his work since I was a graphic design student in Germany more than 50 years ago. And Zoo has been one of my favorites. I am delighted that it is available once again for a new generation of picture book readers of all ages." Eric Carle
