A whopping two-volume publication presenting and analyzing the work of one of the world's leading architects

This new monograph celebrates 40 years of practice by David Chipperfield Architects, presenting around 100 design entries, richly illustrated and accompanied by critical essays and a series of articles and including contributions by artists including Candida Höfer and Thomas Struth.

In double-volume format, this monograph covers a cross section of both built and unbuilt work. It highlights several activities led by Pritzker Prize Laureate, Sir David Chipperfield, throughout his career.

Around 100 design entries are accompanied by ten 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 including Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth and Friederike von Rauch.

The monograph is edited by Rik Nys and designed by John Morgan Studio, the same team that produced the David Chipperfield Architects monographs in 2013 and 2018.

"I am grateful to everyone involved in the making of this monograph but even more so to the many creative minds, clients, consultants and stakeholders without whom there would be no such publication. David Chipperfield Architects has always pushed the boundaries without becoming stationary, and I am confident that they will continue to forge new paths rather than tread familiar ground." – Rik Nys, 7 May 2025, Venice
