| book description |

At just over forty, David Adjaye is one of the worldâ€™s most exciting and accomplished architects, and has built many highly acclaimed houses and public buildings in the UK and USA. Over a ten-year period, the Tanzanian born, London-based architect has visited 53 major African cities and photographed thousands of buildings, sites and places that few of us will ever be able to visit. This 7-volume slipcased edition documents Adjayeâ€™s tribute to African metropolitan architecture. The individual volumes present cities according to the terrain in which they are situated â€“ the Maghreb, Desert, The Sahel, Savannah and Grassland, Mountain and Highveld, and Forest. Each city is shown in a concise urban history, fact file, maps and satellite imagery, along with Adjayeâ€™s personal travel notes and dozens of photographs of the cityâ€™s civic, commercial and residential architecture. All six â€˜terrainâ€™ volumes feature an introductory essay by Adjaye, and a separate volume is dedicated to essays by leading academics and commentators on Africa.
