Discovery of the Square is a visual case study that spans history, art and design, anthropology and science with all subjects arranged in alphabetical order ... from AGORA (The Plan of the Agora of Ephesus) to WANG HSI-CHIH, (the father of Chinese calligraphy). 

Heavily illustrated throughout with black and white examples, each with small captions including: architectural floor plans, diagrams, artworks, symbols, line drawings, photographs, and more. This compact book has been reprinted numerous times since it’s initial publishing and is a testament to Munari’s genius “... the Leonardo of our time.”—Pablo Picasso
