David Macaulay excelle à démystifier les merveilles architecturales et d'ingénierie complexes. Ses livres offrent des explications accessibles et divertissantes sur le fonctionnement des structures, des pyramides antiques aux gratte-ciel modernes. Le talent unique de Macaulay réside dans sa capacité à décomposer visuellement des conceptions complexes, rendant le 'comment' et le 'pourquoi' compréhensibles à un large public. Son travail transforme des constructions sophistiquées en récits captivants et éclairants.
