- Summary:
- "Black Architect is a book about race and architecture in America, told through a series of conversations with Black architects and thinkers who know the field from the inside, including Lesley Lokko, David Adjaye, Zena Howard, Germane Barnes, Olalekan Jeyifous, Mabel O. Wilson, and others. Written by architect and educator Sekou Cooke, the book traces his path from Jamaica to elite schools and into a profession shaped by long-held European ideals. It asks who has been allowed to decide how our world is built, and what emerges when Blackness enters the discipline as a way of thinking, designing, and imagining the future"--Provided by publisher.
