David Chipperfield Architects: Selected Writing

David Chipperfield’s remarkable career reflected through his thinking, ideas and arguments on architecture.

Since establishing his office more than four decades ago, David Chipperfield has often turned to writing to make sense both of his profession and his work within it. Over the years, Chipperfield has published across different platforms, including books, articles, editorials, and lectures, in search of an architecture that questions accepted truths and embraces the tangible, physical qualities which shape our lives, that can play a positive role in society. This collection features original texts that provide more personal insights into the context of making architecture, reframing the more conventional autobiography of a practitioner as told through his built work.
