| book description |

The African continent contains some of the worldâ€™s most vibrant culture and creativity, and yet its buildings â€“ vernacular, colonial or contemporary â€“ have rarely engaged the interest of Western architects. David Adjaye, the first black architect to establish a truly global reputation in his field, has found endless sources of inspiration for his designs in the rich â€“ and chequered â€“ heritage of Africaâ€™s teeming metropolises. His life dream was to return to the continent as an architect to document Africaâ€™s built environment. Over a long decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colourful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites and places, and letting each building speak for itself in telling contrast to a design world obsessed with photorealistic slickness. The result was a stunning seven-volume work that has become an essential resource for all those interested in the burgeoning continent. This compact edition will make the fruits of this once-in-a-generation record available to a much wider audience. The result is one of the most original, ambitious and important architectural publications of our time, now available to everyone wishing to gain an understanding of a unique architectural heritage overlooked for too long.
