The concept is to offer an understanding of the work within a wider discourse that encompasses the context for the projects - whether geographical, socio-political or about the human/community experience.
A major retrospective of David Adjaye’s work, co-curated by Okwui Enwezor and Zoe Ryan. The show is divided into a series of sections, from houses to public buildings, research to furniture, and materials to urban projects. The concept is to offer an understanding of the work within a wider discourse that encompasses the context for the projects – whether geographical, socio-political or about the human/community experience. The exhibition shows something of the process of design as well as the completed buildings and a glimpse of things to come. Exhibits include models, prints, sketches, drawings, furniture, building fragments, a specially commissioned film, photographic/computer generated imagery and texts.
