Como nacen los objetos (the Spanish edition of Bruno Munari's Da cosa nasce cosa) sets out Munari's method for design projects, from defining a problem through sketches, models and testing to a finished object. Drawing on decades of teaching, Munari illustrates the method with real cases from furniture, exhibition design, industrial products and children's books.
Como nacen los objetos is the Spanish edition of Bruno Munari's Da cosa nasce cosa ("from one thing another is born"), in which the designer and teacher sets down, step by step, the working method he developed and taught over decades. Munari treats design not as a matter of inspiration but as a sequence of definable stages: identifying and defining the problem, breaking it into its components, researching materials and technologies, generating and testing models, and arriving at a solution that can be verified against the original problem. He illustrates each stage with abundant drawings and real projects spanning furniture, exhibition spaces, landscape design, industrial products and children's publishing, using the concrete cases to show how a disciplined method still leaves room for invention. The book remains a widely used reference in design education for its plain, practical account of how a design project actually proceeds from problem to object. Credits: Munari, B. (2018).
