David Adjaye, OBE

ARCHITECT AND PRINCIPAL, ADJAYE/ASSOCIATES

With the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver in his portfolio, Tanzanian-born David Adjaye is one of our brightest architectural talents. The son of a Ghanaian diplomat, he moved to Britain aged nine and graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1993 with an MA, receiving the RIBA Bronze Medal in the same year. Since establishing his own studio in 2000, he has built extensively across Africa and the United States and even dined with the Obamas after winning a 2009 competition to design the National Museum of African American History and Culture for the Smithsonian in Washington. He also currently holds the post of visiting professor at the Princeton University School of Architecture. With his artistic sensibility and skill, Adjaye is undoubtedly one of the leading architects of his generation.
