The World Is Not a Rectangle: A Portrait of Architect Zaha Hadid - Jeanette Winter
Visionary architect Zaha Hadid once said about herself, “I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.” It was during her childhood, surrounded by the design, history, and natural landscape of Iraq, that her love of fluid forms and buildings with curves began. In The World Is Not A Rectangle: A Portrait of Architect Zaha Hadid (Beach Lane, $17.99), Jeanette Winter weaves Hadid’s quotes, memories, and illustrations of her creations into a cohesive portrait of a bold, pioneering architect unafraid to create forms that celebrate movement and nature. Ages 7-10.
