Arquitectura Viva 253 - David Chipperfield

Almost unanimously, the 2023 Pritzker laureate’s most admired forte is the sensitivity with which he operates on existing buildings, where he enhances the patina of time while applying his refined grammar, always knowing exactly when to express it energetically and when, on the contrary, to keep it silent. Arquitectura Viva joins the celebrations by presenting some of David Chipperfield’s latest European achievements in the area of refurbishment, from the canonical Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin and the historical Procuratie in Venice to the brand new proposal for the enlargement of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
