New York Architecture & Design Book Club on Bruno Munari

Join New York’s only architecture and design book club (that we know of!) The New York Architecture + Design Book Club, organized by Head Hi and the design journal Untapped, is a lively public program and book subscription series that explores remarkable new titles in the field. The books’ authors, contributors and industry experts lead a discussion at each quarterly gathering, which seeks to build deeper connections between people, ideas, and the world in which we live.

​The second title for the 2025 season of the book club is Bruno Munari: Design and Visual Communication. A long-overdue English translation of Munari's seminal tract on the everyday value of architecture and design education, Design and Visual Communication (1968) fills a gap in Munari's output for the English-speaking world and provides a highly relevant guide to bridging architecture and design education and everyday life.

​Come meet the translator & Munari expert Jeffrey Schnapp. Judge a book by its cover! Look back to look forward. See you there.
