Described\u00a0as an architect with an artist\u2019s sensibility, his ingenious use of materials and showcasing of light have defined his work since establishing his practice in 2000. He was born in Tanzania\u00a0in 1966\u00a0and lived in a number of different cities across the continent\u00a0of Africa until settling in London at the age\u00a0of thirteen. After gaining a B Arch from London South Bank University, he graduated with a Master\u2019s degree\u00a0in Architecture from the Royal College of Art in\u00a01993, where\u00a0he won the RIBA Bronze Medal.<\/p>\n<p>Projects have been diverse\u00a0in scale, audience, and geography.\u00a0They include numerous private houses, exhibitions\u00a0and pavilions as well as major arts centres and important public buildings across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. These demonstrate his considered approach to understanding the needs of the constituency served by each building and a respect for\u00a0their integration \u2013 culturally and architecturally \u2013 within\u00a0the existing locale. Completed civic works include\u00a0two neighbourhood libraries in Washington DC, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO, The Bernie Grant Arts Centre in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver and Rivington Place \u2013 a visual arts centre in London.\u00a0His largest commission is the project to design the Smithsonian Institution&#8217;s National Museum for African American History and Culture on the National Mall in Washington DC, which is under construction.<\/p>\n<p>David Adjaye\u2019s belief in working together with artists\u00a0and other cultural thinkers has led to a number of notable\u00a0collaborations on both building projects as well as exhibitions, which include the Richard Avedon exhibition at New York\u2019s Gagosian Gallery in 2012, Olafur Eliasson\u2019s &#8216;Your Black Horizon&#8217; light installation\u00a0at the 51 st Venice Biennale in 2005 and Chris Offili\u2019s &#8216;The Upper Room&#8217;, which is now\u00a0in the permanent collection of Tate Britain. In addition, his practice invests considerably in critical research projects, including most recently, &#8216;Urban Africa: David Adjaye\u2019s Photographic Survey&#8217; \u2013 a unique geo-cultural catalogue profiling\u00a0the African city in a global context.<\/p>\n<p>His commitment to education extends to lecturing internationally; he was\u00a0the first Louis Khan visiting professor\u00a0at the University\u00a0of Pennsylvania and was\u00a0the Kenzo Tange Professor in Architecture at Harvard\u2019s Graduate School of Design. Previously a unit tutor at\u00a0the Architectural Association,\u00a0David was also a lecturer\u00a0at the Royal College\u00a0of Art and he held a Visiting Professor post at Princeton University School\u00a0of Architecture.<\/p>\n<p>David was awarded the OBE for services to architecture in 2007\u00a0and received the Design Miami\/ Year of the Artist title in 2011.\u00a0In 2012 he reached number one on the Guardian\u2019s &#8216;Powerlist&#8217; of Britain\u2019s most influential black people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David is just one of the many impressive speakers taking part in Making 2014.
