David Adjaye is one of the world's most exciting and accomplished ar chitects, and has built many highly acclaimed houses and public buildin gs in the UK and USA. Over a ten-year period, the Tanzanian born, Londo n-based architect has visited 53 major African cities and photographed thousands of buildings, sites and places that few of us will ever be ab le to visit. This 7-volume set documents Adjaye's tribute to African me tropolitan architecture. The individual volumes present cities accordin g to the terrain in which they are situated: the Maghreb, Desert, The S ahel, Savannah and Grassland, Mountain and Highveld, and Forest. Each c ity is shown in a concise urban history, fact file, maps and satellite imagery, along with Adjaye's personal travel notes and dozens of photog raphs of the city's civic, commercial and residential architecture. All six terrain volumes feature an introductory essay by Adjaye, and a sep arate volume is dedicated to essays by leading academics and commentato rs on Africa.-- Source other than Library of Congress.
