Alchemy, The Material World of David Adjaye by Spencer Bailey & David Adjaye & Teresita Fernandez

Description

A fascinating new take on the architecture of Adjaye, exploring his approach to five building materials through his projects

David Adjaye is one of the most in-demand architects today, known for his thoughtful interpretation of public spaces. In order to understand him as an architect, you must look at his projects through the lens of material ? a crucial consideration in his practice. Organized into five sections ? Stone/Concrete, Wood, Metal, Glass, and Rammed Earth ? Alchemy reimagines the traditional architect monograph by examining the importance of material in architecture, a study vital to Adjaye and his design process.

In 2021, David Adjaye was awarded the RIBA Gold Medal, and he was among seven global leaders to receive a TIME100 Impact Award in 2022.
