Book Description

MIT Press, Cambridge, 1973. First printing in oblong wraps, a casebook of federally initiated projects in visual communication, interiors and industrial design, architecture and landscape environment. The volume was conceived and produced for the First Federal Design Assembly, which was the government's initial step in a program to raise design standards throughout all federal agencies. Although mainly directed toward federal administrators, it also provides ideas and goals for design performance that are equally important to the designer. Lavishly illustrated with high-quality reproductions, the book is itself a nice piece of design. Very Good Plus (covers lightly worn; owner name and stamp on front free endpaper).
