David Adjaye, the son of a Tanzanian diplomat, spent his childhood
moving between international cities before settling in London,
where he was educated. Fresh out of the Royal Academy of Art, his
early commissions reflected an influential generation of artists at
the turn of the millennium with whom he shared a range of
sensibilities. His artistic sensitivity, deft use of space and
inexpensive, unexpected materials resulted in a number of iconic
projects. With the hindsight of almost twenty years of practice and
a raft of high-profile projects around the world - perhaps best
symbolized by his National Museum of African American History and
Culture in Washington, D.C. - the significance of Adjaye's earlier
projects is clear. Never shying away from a challenge, Adjaye used
his first projects as testbeds for what would become his unique,
acclaimed and highly sought after brand of 'critical regionalism'.
This monograph presents the first projects of Adjaye's corpus, many
little documented. From London's West End to Brooklyn, clever urban
interventions and pavilions to private houses for artists and
public buildings for the many. These early projects, brought
together and presented with new analyses and recently uncovered
archival material, testify to the originality of an architect at
the height of his talents who is changing the face of our built
world.
