ABOUT DAVID'S WORK
David Macaulay is a visual storyteller whose illustrated books demystify the workings and origins of objects as mundane as a stapler and as monumental as a cathedral. While he modestly classifies himself an “explainer,” Macaulay’s elegant drawings, wry humor, and clear descriptions of the simplest and most complex structures and machines are sophisticated and entertaining educational experiences for both children and adults. His profound curiosity has led him to deconstruct human creations to the simple and understandable, as exemplified by his architectural series of books, Cathedral (1973), Pyramid (1975), Castle (1977), and Mosque (2003). In The Way Things Work (1988), a seminal book in the field of illustrated-educational books, he not only shows the reader how things are made, but conveys complex technical information as to how and why they function. While best known for his books on architecture and engineering, Macaulay is also a gifted author of picture books. In his award-winning Black and White (1990), he abandoned linear storytelling to produce a book that challenges young readers to piece together four interconnected plots that unfold through illustrations in separate quadrants of each two-page spread. He is currently engaged in intensive study for his next book, an exploration of the complexities of the human body. Macaulay’s visually arresting and thought-provoking body of work invites readers of every age to perceive the world they occupy from surprising and compelling perspectives.
