| Summary |
Published on the occasion of his exhibition at London's Whitechapel Gallery, this book brings together ... authors to reflect on Adjaye's practice, significance and influences. Okwui Enwezor and Saskia Sassen discuss the increasing need for a politicised definition of public space, while Nikolaus Hirsch and Peter Allison consider Adjaye's attention to materials. Two interviews with David Adjaye, one led by Peter Allison and the other by Kodwo Eshun, guide us throught his approach to making public buildings within a global context. They are accompanied by drawings, documents and photographs relating to ten of Adjaye's most important projects, all published here for the first time -- Dust jacket |
