Literature selections feature architects and architecture including: The World is Not a Rectangle: A Portrait of Architect Zaha Hadid (Jeanette Winter), The Shape of the World: A Portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright (K.L. Going), Look at That Building! (Scot Ritchie), City By the Bay (SF - Tricia Brown), and Citybook (NYC - Shelley Rotner).
