| 520 | 8 | _aThe African continent contains some of the world's most vibrant culture and creativity, and yet its buildings have rarely engaged the interest of Western architects. David Adjaye, the first black architect to establish a truly global reputation in his field, has found endless sources of inspiration for his designs in the rich heritage of Africa's teeming metropolises. His life dream was to return to the continent as an architect to document Africa's built environment. Over a long decade, he documented these dynamic, colourful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites and places, and letting each building speak for itself in telling contrast to a design world obsessed with photorealistic slickness. The result was a seven-volume work that has become an essential resource for all those interested in Afica. This compact edition will make it available to a much wider audience. | |
