The Shape of the World: A Portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright

This picture-book biography follows Frank Lloyd Wright from childhood into his work as an architect. As a boy, he builds with cubes, spheres, cones, pyramids, and cylinders, and notices shapes throughout the natural world during summers on his uncle’s farm. The book connects those early interests in geometry and nature to his architectural work. It highlights his choices of windows rather than walls and buildings shaped like honeycombs and shells, keeping the focus on the forms and natural influences in his designs.
