Product 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 Adjayeâs acclaimed residential projects; a series of visual essays; and essays from cultural critics who have been touched by his buildings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A special talent?, 21 Dec 2006

By	Michael Badu "Badr" (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a really nice volume with excellent photography and descriptions of the houses. It's also quite a revealing book in terms of Adjaye's techniques and 'tricks' for acieving certain effects (which is welcome for students and practitioners alike), and also in terms of his status as one of the leading young architects in the U.K right now.

There is perhaps no architect in the U.K today who has divided opinion so much, but whatever you think of him, he's the only well known black architect I know and he seems to have risen to success from nowhere (although he was also a distinguished student). Both reasons for admiration.

My own opinion is that his work to date has very high points (at least some his work IS astounding I believe. I makes me sort of want to give up and go home) and some not so high points (it could be that certain work is less photogenic than others, or it could be that his ideas didn't quite come off).

I think his potential is huge, but I think the fact that he is black will be a barrier/issue, as much for the psycological baggage that this brings (speaking from experience, I'm also of Ghanaian descent) as for any real threat of racism. He'll need to be a strong character. It hasn't effected his progress so far though.

Whatever you think of him, the book shows that Adjaye is clearly very very talented, extremely interesting and thats why the book is worth getting.

I really hope he realises his potential.
