pickI had not heard of Zaha Hadid…I‘m so glad I picked up this book! An architect with an unique eye for design, Hadid had a hard time receiving recognition for her designs due to her gender and her ethnic background. Yet, she persisted. This #PictureBook biography lists her best known accomplishments and presents the text in an unique way, much like her designs. Great illustrations too. #BBRC #LetterW

The world is not a rectangle is a NF book about the life of Zaha. She dreamed of becoming an architect. When she finally made it to where she wanted to be in life she realized that she was going to have many obstacles because she was a Muslim woman. I believe that this book could be used in a RA in class.

As Fats noted in her review: This tells the “story of visionary architect, Zaha Hadid who lived with her family in Baghdad, Iraq. Even as a young girl, Zaha dreamed of designing her own cities. She was fascinated by the way rivers flow through marshes and how the wind carries sand dunes across the cities.” Full review:https://wp.me/pDlzr-gzH
pickThis is the story of renowned architect Zaha Hadid (1950-2016). Growing up in Iraq, Hadid was inspired by the dunes, rivers, and Persian design around her - “The world is not a rectangle.”
Hadid faced discrimination throughout her life for being a woman in a field dominated by men, and as an Arab. Her nature-inspired designs were revolutionary and award-winning.
