Ten key projects by RIBA Royal Gold Medal winner David Adjaye
To celebrate the news that David Adjaye has won the RIBA Royal Gold Medal for 2021, we've rounded up 10 of the most notable buildings designed by the Ghanaian-British architect.
Ruby City, USA, 2019
Crimson-coloured concrete panels envelop Ruby City, a contemporary art centre built by Adjaye in San Antonio, Texas, with local firm Alamo Architects.
Its vibrant design evolved from a sketch by the building's patron ? the late artist Linda Pace ? which she drew and presented to Adjaye following a dream about the museum.

Mole House, UK, 2020
Mole House is the three-storey live-work space of the artist Sue Webster, which Adjaye's firm crafted from the shell of a derelict house in London.
Its name and design derive the history of its previous owner, nicknamed the Mole Man, who dug a labyrinth of tunnels beneath it. As a nod to this story, the home has multiple entrance routes and a concrete basement extension. Find out more about Mole House ?
Spyscape, USA, 2018
The interactive Spyscape museum was designed by Adjaye following response to consultations with former members of renowned hacking collectives and directors of intelligence agencies.
Visitors are invited to act like spies as they meander its theatrical, multi-sensory exhibition spaces that are lined with smoked glass, bespoke fibre cement, mirror-polished steel and grey acoustic panelling.
