DESIGN STORIES / Sir David Adjaye for the Ghana’s First Venice Biennale Pavilion

The Architect David Adjaye will design Ghana’s first Venice biennale Pavillon.

“Being able to show the diversity and creativity of Ghana on an international scale is an incredible achievement,” said the British architect in a statement. It also showcases the breadth of the nation’s artistic talent, he continued.

In 2017, AD revealed a backyard pavilion he designed for Design Miami founder Craig Robins’s home in South Beach, Florida. And most recently, he put out a call for augmented-reality architecture proposals to run alongside this year’s annual Serpentine Pavilion in London, to be built by Japanese architect Junya Ishigami.
