Good Design, Bruno Munari, 1963
From Corraini Edizioni:
“With its good-humoured look at natural shapes seen through the eyes of a designer, this hugely significant book is celebrating its 50th anniversary. An example of good design? An orange - 'an almost perfect object where shape, function and use display total consistency'.”

Perspective machine by Filippo Brunelleschi, Florence, ca. 1400
From Drawing Academy:
“As the story goes, one sunny morning in Florence, Italy, Filippo Brunelleschi appeared at the gate of the not-yet-completed cathedral, holding a little painting and a little mirror. Already considered a magician by half of Florence because of the dome he was building without any scaffolding, Master Filippo gathered a sizable crowd for his demonstration.
Brunelleschi led the crowd to the gate of the cathedral so that they would look in the direction of the Baptistery outside the building. He gave a painting with a hole in the middle to somebody in the crowd and asked him to keep the unpainted backside of the painting towards himself and to look through the hole with one eye into the direction of the Baptizing Chapel. Then the master suddenly lifted a mirror in front of the painting, covering the chapel from the viewer’s sight, and asking loudly enough so that people further away in the crowd could hear: “What can you see, Sir?” “Oh, the Baptistery, Sir Filippo!” the man replied.
The audience was amazed. On the other side of the painting, the chapel was depicted perfectly and the hole was right on the horizon, just at the vanishing point. So the mirror showed just the same as the reality it covered.”

Unboxing video of Tauba Auerbach’s pop-up book, [2,3]
From Nowness:
Working somewhere between conceptual art and graphic design, California-born artist Tauba Auerbach creates compositions that exist somewhere in the state between two and three dimensions. For a colossal book project, published in collaboration with New York-based independent bookstore Printed Matter and comprised of six die-cut paper sculptures that act as the book's pages, director Sam Fleischner caught the aural experience of leafing through the weighty tome in the above film.
From [2,3] by Tauba Auerbach, 2011
From Visual News:
“The six sculptures in [2,3] take their cue from a range of geometric forms—the pyramid, sphere, ziggurat, octagonal bipyramid (gem), arc, and möbius-strip. The use of a bright, contrasting palette is familiar from Auerbach’s previous work across a range of materials, including acrylics, etchings and C-type prints. This groundbreaking project stands as an astonishing art-object, part bookwork and part sculpture, and represents an advance in the field of pop-up technology,” according to Printed Matter.
