Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book showcases the unique vision and work of Olajumoke Adenowo, hailed as 'Africa's starchitect' and Africa's most influential female architect.Olajumoke Adenowo is a renowned Nigerian architect who heads her own architecture and interior design firm, AD Consulting, which she founded in Lagos in 1994. A gifted student, at the age of 14 she enrolled at Obafemi Awolowo University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Honours Architecture) by the age of 19, and then completed her Master of Science (Architecture) in 1991.Adenowo's intense interest in architecture and design emerged from her visits to Europe and throughout the world with her parents as a young child, as well as while living on campus at the Obafemi Awolowo University in the ancient city of Ile-Ife in Osun State, Nigeria, where her parents were professors. Having adopted a global perspective from an early age but firmly rooted in her heritage throughout her career, she is uniquely positioned to directly cultivate the kind of best practice African contemporary architecture that leverages ancestral knowledge and methods from within the continent itself.Adenowo's thesis of "Neo-Heritage" envisions a new ideation framework which leverages on African heritage design principles that will contribute to international solutions in the field of architecture.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Featuring essays from leading cultural voices, Richard Wright's second Gagosian book provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated overview of the Turner Prizewinning artist's work from 2010 to today.Richard Wright is considered a central figure in the celebrated generation of artists who emerged from Glasgow, Scotland, in the 1990s. Working in acrylic, gouache, gold leaf, and, more recently, stained glass, he is best known for his site-specific yet transient works that subtly encourage viewers to reassess their physical surroundings. Wright's diverse yet distinctive compositions display a profound art historical knowledge, drawing influence from geometric patterns, minimalist typography, gothic ornamentation, and baroque embellishment.This fully illustrated volume, the second published by Gagosian, provides a comprehensive illustrated survey of the artist's work from 2010 to today. The book features newly commissioned texts from Martin Clark and Tim Ingold; a newly published conversation between the artist and Will Bradley, recorded at the British School at Rome; and an exhaustive collection of plates documenting individual works and permanent commissions in such locations as Tate Britain, London; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna; and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.Richard Wright (b. 1960, London) lives and works in Norfolk, England, and Glasgow, Scotland. Wright won the Turner Prize in 2009 and his work is represented in major collections around the world. In 2016 he was commissioned to make a vast gold-leaf work for the four hundredth anniversary of the Queen's House, London. In 2018 he was commissioned to produce a ceiling work at the Tottenham Court Road station of London's Underground, which was unveiled in 2022.
