The David Adjaye-led studio will work with developer FivePoint to revitalise the waterfront area in the city's Hunters Point district on the bay side. Earmarked as one of the largest urban developments on the USA's west coast, the project will involve the construction of both housing and a commercial district. New offices, labs, research facilities will be built among reclaimed heritage buildings and large pockets of public space and sports grounds. "This is a project with incredible transformative potential," said Adjaye, who recently completed the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. Adjaye Associates will build on the work of IBI Architects, which completed the first phase of development. This second phase will be completed over the next five years . Together with work at the nearby Candlestick Park site, the project will create 12,000 homes adjacent to more than 350 acres (142 hectares) of waterfront parks, trails and restored shoreline. San Francisco is experiencing a wave of development after a period of stagnant architecture. Proposals by high-profile architects such as OMA, Studio Gang and Foster + Partners are set to transform its skyline and waterfront over the coming years. Adjaye's other projects in the US include the Sugar Hill housing project in New York's Harlem and a red concrete art museum in Texas. He was recently awarded the London Design Medal, and will be part of the team to select the architect for next year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion.[/QUOTE] https://www.dezeen.com/2016/10/24/david-adjaye-associates-masterplan-san-francisco-shipyard-revitalisation/ [QUOTE][b]Hunters Point Shipyard redevelopment architect knighted by Queen Elizabeth II[/b] Signed on as master planner for the anticipated Hunters Point Shipyard project phase two, British-Ghanaian architect David Adjaye, principal of Adjaye Associates, will add another esteemed plume to his cap—knighthood. The noted architect was named Knight Bachelor at Queen Elizabeth II’s annual New Year’s Honors. The sovereign ruler bestowed Adjaye with the OBE recognition, according to the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood at St. James's Palace, for being “one of the leading architects of his generation and a global cultural ambassador for the U.K.” Regarding said honor, Adjaye said: “I am truly honoured and humbled to receive a knighthood by Her Majesty the Queen for my contribution to architecture. I see this not as a personal celebration, but as a celebration of the vast potential—and responsibility—for architecture to effect positive social change. that we as architects have to bring something positive to the world. I am proud to continue to work in service of this mission as a global cultural ambassador for the UK.” Last year, Adjaye talked to Curbed SF about the Hunters Point project underway. “The city’s north is beautifully served with urban spaces, but then down south it just goes off,” he said, adding, “We want to make a more natural looking edge to the bay. I’d like for this to be more than just a neighborhood. I’d like for it to be a gathering place for everyone who lives in the south.” The Shipyard redevelopment project, where, among other things, two-bedroom condos will run in the $500K-$600K range, is one of many victories for the 50-year-old architect. He also helmed the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History & Culture on Washington D.C.’s National Mall.
