Sir David Alan Chipperfield CBE RA RDI RIBA (born 18 December 1953) is a British architect. He established David Chipperfield Architects in 1985.
Chipperfield has been recognised for his work with honours and awards including membership of the Royal Academy of Arts, the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, a knighthood for services to architecture, and the Praemium Imperiale from the Japan Art Association in 2013.
David Chipperfield Architects is a global architectural practice with offices in London, Berlin, Milan, and Shanghai. The practice's projects have received more than 100 architecture and design awards, including the 2007 RIBA Stirling Prize (for the Museum of Modern Literature, Marbach), the 2011 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture (Mies van der Rohe Award), and the 2011 Deutscher Architekturpreis.
Chipperfield graduated in 1976 from Kingston School of Art. In 2008, the University awarded him an honorary doctorate. From 1978 to 1984 Chipperfield worked at a succession of architectural practices – Douglas Stephen, Richard Rogers, and Norman Foster – before establishing David Chipperfield Architects in 1985. As a young architect Chipperfield championed the historically-attuned, place-specific work of continental architects such as Moneo, Snozzi and Siza through the 9H Gallery situated in the front room of his London office.
