David Chipperfield

David Chipperfield (London, 1953) has offices in London, Berlin and Milan, as well as a representation in Shanghai.
He designed the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames with a green oak façade, concrete and glass. However, many of his buildings are located outside the United Kingdom, notably in Japan and Germany. In the German town of Marbach am Neckar, the Literaturmuseum of the Moderne designed by him was opened in January 2006 as part of the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach. In 2011 he won the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture with his design for the Neues Museum in Berlin. Chipperfield was the only British architect to reach the last selection round of the design competition for London's Tate Modern museum.
He currently holds a guest professorship at the London College of the Arts and is working on the James Simon Galerie, an entrance building for the Museumsinsel in Berlin.
