And she tells it in a way I won’t soon forget. She had a passion for design from an early age, and was inspired by the landscapes and textiles of Iraq, where she grew up. Jeanette Winter doesn’t waste words, but she tells the story of a woman who added beauty to the world. The World is Not a Rectangle, by Jeanette Winter This is a beautiful biographical picture book about the life and career of Zaha Hadid, a world-renowned architect. End notes tell where each featured building is located. Zaha died in 2016, but her designs are still being built. When she was finally selected, the city commission refused to build it.īut Zaha continued, and the pictures show buildings she designed located all over the world – the pictures place them alongside the landscapes and natural objects that inspired them. She submitted designs in many competitions. When she grew up, she ventured away from her country and studied in London. The book simply shows how she got inspiration from nature. This is a simple but brilliant picture book biography about Zaha Hadid, an architect I’d never heard of, who was an Arab and a woman and who designed buildings located all over the world. Beach Lane Books (Simon & Schuster), 2017.
