GAD / PERSON PROFILE
David Chipperfield
Public buildings shaped by continuity, restraint and historical responsibility.
Background & practice
Chipperfield founded his London practice in 1985 after working with Douglas Stephen, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers. Museum projects, renovations and new civic buildings developed alongside a wider concern for the quality of the public realm.
