- Summary
- "David Adjaye is one of Britain's leading contemporary architects, whose designs emphasize the experience as much as the function of architecture. Known for domestic projects that explore the unfolding of interior space, Making Public Buildings focuses for the first time on Adjaye's engagement with civic space and the built environment." "Published on occasion of his exhibition at London's Whitechapel Gallery, this publication brings together a distinguished list of authors to reflect on Adjaye's practice, significance and influences. They are accompanied by drawings, documents and photographs relating to ten of Adjaye's most important projects, all published here for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
