Sir David Adjaye, 2017 (Ghana)
Internationally acclaimed, multiple award-winning British architect of Ghanaian ancestry David Adjaye became only the fifth architect to be knighted by the Queen when he was announced as one of the honorees of the 2017 New Year’s Honours List.
An official statement from St. James Park described Adjaye as “one of the leading architects of his generation and a global cultural ambassador for the UK.”
Some of Adjaye’s important architectural works include the design of the Whitechapel Idea Store in London, the Dirty House, the Stephen Lawrence Centre, the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo, and what is perhaps regarded as his magnum opus, the $540 million Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, which was opened by former U.S. President Barack Obama last September.
