Architect David Adjaye combines material inventiveness with a
conceptual approach to the fundamental elements of architecture.
Born in Tanzania, the London-based architect’s influences
range from African art and architecture to contemporary art and
music that inform a wide range of architectural forms. Principal of
Adjaye/Associates, he will discuss his studio’s growing list
of internationally recognized projects, including the Dirty House
in London, the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, and the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Denver— his first major project in the
United States. Following the program, he will sign copies of his
books.
