David Chipperfield Architects was founded in London by
David Chipperfield in 1985. The practice has since won numerous international
competitions and built over 100 projects. Its diverse international body of
work includes cultural, residential, commercial and educational buildings and
spaces for both the private and public sectors, as well as civic projects and
urban masterplans.
Offices in London, Berlin, Milan and Shanghai, contribute
to the wide range of projects and typologies. Together, the four offices drive
common architectural ambitions and share a commitment to the collaborative
aspect of creating architecture.
The practice’s work is characterised by meticulous
attention to the concept and details of every project, and a relentless focus
on refining design ideas to arrive at a solution which is architecturally,
socially, and intellectually coherent.
David Chipperfield Architects has won more than 100
international awards and citations for design excellence, including the RIBA
Stirling Prize in 2007 for The Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach, Germany,
and both the Mies van der Rohe Award (European Union Prize for Contemporary
Architecture) and the Deutscher Architekturpreis in 2011 for the Neues Museum,
Berlin.
