OverviewConstructed Narratives brings together essays and several recently completed buildings by David Adjaye, in the United States and elsewhere. In the essays, Adjaye shows how his approach to the design of temporary pavilions and furniture, private houses, and installations at the 2015 Venice Biennale feeds into his designs for public buildings. Other essays discuss his engagement with geography, the urban environment, his approach to materiality, and architectural types. The presented projects include two public libraries and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, all in Washington D.C., a residential mixed-use building in New York, and a hybrid art-retail building in Beirut. Two of Adjaye's current projects are also included. 361 illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: David Adjaye , Peter AllisonPublisher: Lars Muller Publishers Imprint: Lars Muller Publishers Weight: 0.975kg ISBN: 9783037785171ISBN 10: 3037785179 Pages: 300 Publication Date: 17 November 2016 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
