THE ABC's OF TRIANGLE SQUARE CIRCLEThe Bauhaus and Design Theory

Ellen Lupton and J. Abbott Miller

The essays collected in The ABCs of Triangle Square Circle: The Bauhaus
and Design Theory trace the origins and impact of the Bauhaus, addressing
modernist design theory in relation to the 19th-century kindergarten movement,
and Bauhaus graphic design in relation to the ideal of a universal "language" of
vision. Additional essays address psychoanalysis, fractal geometry, and
Weimar culture.
