Description
David Adjaye Constructed Narratives brings together essays and several recently completed buildings that showcase the architect's approach to design. The essays explore how his work in temporary pavilions, furniture, private houses, and installations informs his designs for public buildings. The projects featured include two public libraries, a residential mixed-use building, and a hybrid art-retail building, all of which demonstrate Adjaye's engagement with geography, the urban environment, and materiality. Two of his current projects are also included in this collection. This book provides insight into Adjaye's design philosophy and the development of his architectural practice.
