 Introduction
David Chipperfield was born in 1953 in
London, United Kingdom. Chipperfield got
mostly known for his strong focus on refining a
project into each little detail, to eventually end
up with a construction that is consistent in
architectural, social and intellectual aspects
involved with the building. He studied
architecture at the Architectural Association
(AA) in London, receiving his diploma in
architecture in 1977. In 1985 he founded David
Chipperfield Architects, which currently has
offices in London, Berlin, Milan and Shanghai.

You don't restore 'The Last Supper' by filling in the missing bits - you preserve. You accept
the material that has somehow survived.
-David Chipperfield

optimises the use of daylight for the top floor gallery. The lower floors
comprise a series of spaces that provide the more social and
community-based aspects of the programme. Musea Jumex, Mexico
Visitors enter through a pavilion on the top floor and descend

entirely artificial, The facades: concrete, glass and wood..The Museum of Modern
building was awarded the Stirling Prize in 2007.
Literature, Germany
Connecting interior and exterior, it protects and
shields as much as it reveals. It balances daylight,
solar radiation and views, making a decisive
contribution to the quality of the interiors.

Amorepacific Headquarter, Korea

It is an architecture of pavilions and interior courtyards, translucent walls and
windows . A translucent, facade made up of rectangular panels of glass changes
in tone to reflect the the incident sunlight. Light-grey cast stone of a colour and
texture that resembles the interior flooring forms the building’s base course.

Museum Folkwang, Germany

Fayland House is a single-storey
residence that stretches across a
dip in the landscape. Pale white
brickwork, broad columns and
a courtyard planted with trees
are all features of this country
house
Its roof is set down well below
the level of the tree canopy,
while four sunken courtyards
are concealed behind the walls.
Fayland House, England
The distinctive features of the 10,000 square
meter building are three horizontal levels
which overhang the terrace below by as
much as fifteen meters, providing shade and
an unobstructed view of the sea. The
predominant color inside and out is white, with
panels of white metal on the ceilings, floors of
white resin, and exterior trim of white- painted
stainless steel. Exterior accents are provided by
planks of wood

Saint Louis Art Museum, USA

The Figge Art Museum is a glass-encased
four-floor, 99,515-square-foot building,
features a rooftop winter garden, a grand
staircas, a 110-seat auditorium, 20,600
square feet of gallery space, common
areas, office space and 35,000 square
feet of underground parking. The
building’s façade — reflective, transparent
and opaque surfaces — is constantly
changing in relation to the sun and
clouds.
Figge Art Museum, Davenport
 The glass facade of the four-storey
building is fritted with mirror in stripes,
reflecting the surroundings and affording
views into and out of the museum. The
organisation of the new building is based
on five linear volumes of varying length
Site plan and height arranged along the western
II. face of the existing building. This
arrangement forms a new facade and
entrance facing downtown Anchorage.
Walls are constructed between columns to
establish a series of rooms within the new
building.

Anchorage Museum, Alaska
The museum is composed of four parallel bar shaped volumes,
clad in Iranian travertine, equal in 18m width but differing in height.
Each volume contains an interior courtyard. The building is set on a
lake and connected via bridges to the park. The sculptural quality
of the building ensemble reveals itself gradually..
Liangzhu Museum, China
The museum adopts principles such as rationality,
order and repetition, and reinterprets these in a
modern architectural language. Colonnades,
composed of slim pillars placed at close intervals,
frame the building and interweave interior and
exterior space. In addition, a further series of
engaged columns imbue the facade..

Mughal Museum, Agra

The main body of the object consisted master
bedroom, workspace, and archive, arranged as two
continuous rooms one on top of the other. The
bedroom window configured to slide vertically which
transforms the upper room into a balcony.

The Knight House, Richmond

The Kunsthaus Zürich now represents the largest art museum in Switzerland,
comprising four buildings from different eras, latest being the Chipperfield
extension (2020).
The urban plan defines two new external spaces: the urban square to the
south, framed on all four sides by buildings, and the new Garden of Art to
the north as an open and permeable natural environment. An expansive
entrance hall, spanning the full length of the building, creates a link.
The internal organisation is based on the concept of a ‘house of rooms’.

Kunsthaus Zürich Museum, Switzerland

The Library, covers an area of 110,000 square
feet, The two- story building has no front or back
instead it fans out into three wings. a glass tunnel
allows passers-by to stroll through the library. Its
most distinct feature is an exterior of glass panels
with copper mesh sandwiched between them.

Des Moines Public Library, Iowa

It is composed of ten trapezoidal blocks; its upper- level
galleries are lit by natural light from large windows in the
pitched roofs. Its windows have views of the river, historic
waterfront and the city skyline. The building's façade is clad
with self-compacting pigmented concrete.

The Hepworth Wakefield Gallery, UK

 Chipperfield’s early work could be
identified with modernistic furniture,
without many variations. Clear,
precise classic. Practical, modular
pieces which re-examined relations.
Harmony between full and empty,
lines and surfaces. Although he
resisted significant experimenting, he
started releasing his creativity
during the first decade of 2000’s.
He appreciated context in every
possible sense, from location,
people, customs, culture and history.
His structures are a manifestation of
his intelligence which he often
denies quoting, “I’m not so
Conclusion

interested in convincing the

architectural community that I’m a
genius.“
