Sinopse

One of the most exciting and accomplished young architects to emerge on the international scene in many years … Adjaye is enjoying enormous and ever-increasing worldwide attention. This book celebrates a young talent at the height – and yet at the beginning – of his creative powers. The innovation in Adjaye’s career is exemplified in his residential works, constructed in a range of settings, which show careful experimentation and exquisite nuances. Perhaps his best-known houses are those constructed are those for such people as artist Chris Ofili and and actor Ewan McGregor.Four essential components make up this, Adjaye’s first monograph: an introduction by Stuart Hall; a documentation of thirteen of Adjaye’s most important projects, presented through descriptions, detailed plans and photographs; a series of visual essays that highlight the tactile, luminous and luxurious nature of Adjaye’s work; and essays from cultural critics who have been touched by his buildings.
