Adjaye Africa Architecture: A Photographic Survey of Metropolitan Architecture

A complete overview of architecture in fifty-three African cities, seen through the eyes and images of one of the world’s leading young architects. Educated in England, David Adjaye’s lifelong dream was to return to Africa as an architect to document the continent’s built environment. Over a decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colorful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites, and public spaces, and letting each building speak for itself. The result was a stunning seven-volume work that has become an essential resource for all those interested in the burgeoning continent.
