Architecture and Construction Details
The projects by David Chipperfield stand out through their clarity and reduction. Founded in 1985, the practice with offices in London, Berlin, Mailand, Shanghai und Santiago de Compostela is now active worldwide. Its designs eschew eccentric gestures in favour of harmonious materials, proportions and forms. This monograph documents the sophisticated solutions of 25 international projects, including new buildings, renovations and interiors realized by David Chipperfield Architects. It offers an insight into important urban planning milestones such as the Morland Mixité Capitale in Paris as well as distinctive interiors like the Valentino flagship stores. In addition to photos and plans, several interviews with David Chipperfield complement the documentation. Construction details on a scale of 1:20 illustrate the architectural practice’s precise planning and signature style.
