Architectural context

About David Chipperfield Architects

David Chipperfield Architects is a British practice founded by David Chipperfield (born 1953), who received the Pritzker Prize in 2023. The catalogue features the James-Simon-Galerie (2019) in Berlin — a Contemporary entrance building for Museum Island that mediates between the Neoclassical museums with a colonnade of slender columns and horizontal stone layers. The project embodies Chipperfield's approach of contextual restraint — contemporary architecture that defers to its historic surroundings without pastiche.
