Description

An object of beauty in its own right, this book, newly available in paperback, is a timely celebration of a brilliant young talent at the height of his powers. It comprises four essential components: an introduction by Stuart Hall; a documentation of thirteen of Adjaye's acclaimed residential projects; a series of visual essays; and essays from cultural critics who have been touched by his buildings.
