  • For me, architecture is a planetary art, and I use that term very specifically. It is not a global art form: it is a planetary art form, and the art form in the 21st century is to understand the primary geographies and the ways in which human habitation has evolved in those geographies…The relationship between geography and city-making is so profoundly powerful that we can’t untangle it.” - Sir David Adjaye OBE, A Conversation with Sir David Adjaye OBE and Zena Howard, September 11, 2019, Franklin Humanities Institute. #WorldArts #WorldArtsQuotes World-renowned architect Sir David Adjaye OBE visited Duke University to deliver our John Hope Franklin Lecture on September 12, 2019. The day prior, he participated in a public conversation at the FHI with Perkins and Will principal and managing director Zena Howard, with whom he collaborated on the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC. Together they reflected on several subjects related to architecture, including the legacy of the late Phil Freelon, architecture as community engagement, and architecture as a planetary art form. This event was part of our World Arts series, which explores the world-making potential of the arts, and the ways in which worlds are imagined within the arts. @adjaye_visual_sketchbook @adjayeassociates @dukeuniversity
