"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 notion of ""neo-heritage"" envisions a new cultural confidence emerging in Africa that can contribute to international solutions for sustainability, urban planning, and environmental and residential design."
