David Chipperfield is of one of Britain’s leading architects. Renowned for his quiet and thoughtful style, he has a huge international reputation and has created works in China, Japan, Italy, USA, Spain and Germany.
This new monograph celebrating 40 years of practice by David Chipperfield Architects is published in double-volume format and covers a cross section of both built and unbuilt work. The monograph highlights several activities led by British Pritzker Prize Laureate Sir David Chipperfield (born 1953) throughout his career. In 1985 he established David Chipperfield Architects, which grew into a global practice with offices in London, Berlin, Milan, Shanghai and Santiago de Compostel. Around 100 design entries are accompanied by 10 critical essays and a series of articles that have been published over the years by various commentators, including Joseph Rykwert and Barry Bergdoll. Richly illustrated, both volumes feature contributions by renowned visual artists such as Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth and Friederike von Rauch. The monograph is edited by Rik Nys and designed by John Morgan Studio.

In 2003 Wakefield Council launched an international RIBA competition to find an architect to design the new art gallery for Wakefield. The competition led to the selection of David Chipperfield Architects.When designing The Hepworth Wakefield, David Chipperfield Architects responded imaginatively to the gallery’s waterfront setting and industrial heritage of the site. The gallery is able to source the majority of its heating and cooling from the river’s flow. The building’s façades have been constructed of pigmented concrete which was created in-situ. This gives the building a sculptural appearance, which echoes the shapes and forms in many of Barbara Hepworth’s sculptures.
