David Adjaye
Architect
David Adjaye is recognised as one of the leading architects of his generation. Born in 1966 in Dar-Es-Salam to a Ghanaian diplomat, he studied at London’s prestigious Royal College of Art and was awarded the RIBA First Prize Bronze Medal. In June 2000 he reformed his studio as Adjaye/Associates and went on to win a number of high-profile commissions, perhaps his most famous being The Idea Store (library and education centre). Adjaye is highly sought after on the lecture circuit and has lectured at Harvard’s GSD, Yale, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and the University of California Berkeley. David has co-presented two series of ‘Dreamspaces’ for BBC (a six-part series on modern architecture) and hosted a BBC Radio programme which featured an interview with Oscar Neimeyer and in late 2005 he interviewed architect Charles Correa of India. In Spring of 2005 David presented a BBC documentary entitled, ‘Building Africa, The Architecture of a Continent’ .
