"This book traces the orgins and impact of the Bauhaus in relation to basic design, graphic design and typography. While the text is a challenging exploration of the Bauhaus aims and achievements, the book itself is a manifesto of Bauhaus ideals, synthesizing editorial concept, typography and craftsmanship. Essays by eminent contributors address various aspects of the Bauhaus, including its relationship to Weimar culture, Herbert Bayer's geometric type design call 'universal' and the implications of Kandinsky's celebrated attempt to establish fundamental laws of form and colour with his provocative 'triangle/square/circle' test. Illustrations include extensive samples of typographical design, instructional diagrams and symbols."--BOOK COVER.
