Award-winning Ghanaian – British architect, Sir David Adjaye OBE, is known to infuse his artistic sensibilities and ethos with community-driven projects. His ingenious use of materials, signifying designs and visionary sensibilities have set him apart as one of the leading architects of his generation. His pieces such as Steel and Light, present opportunities for transformation, whether materially, conceptually or sociologically speaking. It can act as a catalytic mechanism for bridging and creating relationships between the human body, society and the world. Research is indispensable to him and his multidisciplinary studio’s creative process in which they undertake the responsibility of articulating narratives through understanding the past in order to create pieces for a vibrant, socially and environmentally responsible future. Impressions of place-making, identity, memory and meaning, are central to his design process as he aims to create structures conducive to positive forms of human. For Adjaye, architecture and design is “a social act” - it’s about constructing pieces that acknowledge and understand the histories it contains and represents, while creating something entirely new, in order to serve communities into their futures.
