'It’s not just enough to build.' Architect David Adjaye (dadjaye) doesn’t just construct buildings—he also creates learning experiences
doesn’t just construct buildings—he also creates learning experiences. As the designer of such high-profile places as the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., and the Nobel Peace Center in Norway, Adjaye has a knack for bringing attention to social issues and shining a light on history through architectural design.at Dubai’s Museum of the Future on Monday, Adjaye described architecture as a bridge that brings people together.
Adjaye was among seven global leaders honored for the way they’ve pushed their industries forward. He was presented with the award by landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom, whose work focuses on solving urban environmental problems. Later this year, Adjaye will be back in the United Arab Emirates for the opening of the Abrahamic Family House, an interfaith complex in Abu Dhabi featuring a church, mosque, and synagogue, which he designed as a cultural center that will encourage peaceful co-existence and acceptance of the UAE’s three Abrahamic faiths.
“You are shaped by the world around you,” he said while accepting his TIME100 Impact Award. “My sense of thinking about architecture … it’s not just enough to build. But it’s important to imbue the future we make with the past, [and] to imbue the future we make with the memories of our ancestors, the teachings of our ancestors.”
