[6] Upon graduating from London South Bank University with a BA degree in architecture [7] in 1990, [8] he won the RIBA Bronze Medal for the best undergraduate design project in the UK (the Respite project). [9] [10] In 1993 he graduated from a master's programme at the Royal College of Art. [8]

Adjaye's early works include many residential projects, including Chris Ofili's house in 1999, Dirty House and Glass House [11] in 2002, and Lorna Simpson's studio-home in 2006. He then moved on to larger scale [12] projects such as the Idea Store in Whitechapel, UK, and the Nobel Peace Center [13] in Oslo, Norway, in 2005.

The studio's first solo exhibition, David Adjaye: Making Public Buildings, was shown at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in January 2006, with Thames and Hudson publishing the catalogue of the same name. This followed their 2005 publication of Adjaye's first book, David Adjaye Houses. [14]

Other prominent early works include the Bernie Grant Arts Centre and the Stephen Lawrence Centre in 2007. [15]

Major works

Adjaye was selected to design the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, which opened in 2007. The building, Adjaye's first museum commission, was designed to minimize boundaries between the exterior spaces of the city and the interior galleries of the museum. Hidden skylights fill the interior spaces with natural light, and large windows look out on the city streets. The building has five galleries as well as dedicated education spaces, a shop, library and rooftop café. [16]

Adjaye won a competition to design the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo which was completed in 2010. [17] Rejecting the traditional campus-style, the building is designed as one form to encourage student interaction. [18]

Adjaye designed two new neighbourhood libraries in Washington, D.C.: the Francis A. Gregory Neighborhood Library and the Bellevue / William O. Lockridge Library, which opened in 2012. [19] The award-winning libraries are celebrated for being community beacons. [19]

In 2015, the Aishti Foundation, a mixed art gallery and retail space, opened in Beirut, Lebanon. [20] The gallery space is over 40,000 square feet. Adjaye's design marries art viewing with shopping, two seemingly conflicting experiences. [21]

On 15 April 2009, Adjaye was selected lead architect [22] for the team of architects, which includes the Freelon Group, Davis Brody Bond and SmithGroup, to design the new $540 million National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution museum, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. [23] [24] His design features a crown motif from Yoruba sculpture. [24] [25] The museum opened in the fall of 2016 and was named "the cultural event of the year" by The New York Times . [26] It was also the subject of a profile on the Sky Arts programme The Art of Architecture in 2019. [27] Furniture that Adjaye designed for the museum is manufactured and sold by Knoll. [28] [29]

In 2007, artist Linda Pace reached out to Adjaye to design a contemporary art centre for her art collection shortly before she died from breast cancer that year. [30] Ruby City, located in San Antonio, Texas, opened in 2019. [31]

In 2018, 1199SEIU President George Gresham [32] reached out to Adjaye, who later accepted the commission [33] [34] to design the new 16,500-square-foot member space. The designed featured hundreds of photos gathered from the union's vast photo archive and placed on ceramic tiles produced by Cerámica Suro in Guadalajara, Mexico. [33] The 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East is located in New York, New York, and was completed in 2020. The designed was named Architect's Newspaper Best of Design for Interior Workplace in 2020. [35]

In 2023, Adjaye's first permanent public sculpture, titled Asaase III was unveiled. The artwork is located at The Griot Museum of Black History in St. Louis, Missouri, and was commissioned by curator Allison Glenn for the 2023 Counterpublic triennial. [42]

Other commissions

Alongside his international commissions, Adjaye's work spans exhibitions, private homes and furniture. He built homes for the designer Alexander McQueen, artist Jake Chapman, photographer Jürgen Teller, actor Ewan McGregor, and artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster. For artist Chris Ofili, he designed a new studio and a beach house in Port of Spain, Trinidad. [43]

Adjaye is also known for his collaborations with contemporary artists on installations and exhibitions. He worked with Ofili to create an environment for The Upper Room , which was later acquired by Tate Britain and caused a nationwide media debate. Adjaye collaborated with artist Olafur Eliasson to create a light installation, Your black horizon, at the 2005 Venice Biennale. He has also worked on the art project Sankalpa with director Shekhar Kapur. [44] In May 2019, the Ghana Freedom Pavilion - designed by Adjaye - was inaugurated at the 58th Venice Art Biennale. [45] He also designed the 56th Venice Art Biennale with the late curator Okwui Enwezor; the River Reading Room for the Gwangju Biennale; [46] and the Sclera Pavilion for the London Design Festival. [47]

Adjaye co-authored two seasons of the BBC's Dreamspaces television series and hosts a BBC radio programme. In June 2005, he presented the documentary Building Africa: Architecture of a Continent.

[49] In November 2020, Adjaye published his early portfolio in his book titled AdjayeWorks 1995–2007: Houses, Pavilions, Installations, Buildings [50] with Peter Allison and Thames & Hudson.
