The RIBA 2020 Gold Medal winner will talk about his global practice, from museum projects in the U.S. and the Holocaust Memorial in the U.K., to his expanding portfolio in Africa. With a growing practice in Accra, in addition to his offices in New York and London, the Ghanaian-British architect is making major contributions to culture on the continent, with the 5,000-seat National Cathedral of Ghana, the Benin Royal Museum and the Martyrs’ Memorial in Niamey, Niger, among other current works.

Sir David Adjaye OBE is a Ghanaian-British architect who has received international acclaim for his impact on the field. Born in Tanzania to Ghanaian parents, his influences range from contemporary art, music and science to African art forms and the civic life of cities. In 2000, he founded Adjaye Associates, which today operates globally, with offices in Accra, London, and New York and projects spanning across the globe. His largest project to date, The National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington, DC opened on the National Mall in Washington DC in 2016 and was named Cultural Event of the Year by The New York Times. In 2017, Adjaye was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and was recognized as one of the 100 most influential people of the year by TIME Magazine.
