David Chipperfield, a prolific English architect unbound by typology and geography and celebrated for works including new buildings and tactful renovations that eschew flamboyance for “radical restraint,” was announced today as the 2023 recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Established in 1979, the Pritzker Prize is considered the profession’s most prestigious international accolade. Chipperfield is “assured without hubris, consistently avoiding trendiness to confront and sustain the connections between tradition and innovation, serving history and humanity,” said Tom Pritzker, chairman of the Hyatt Foundation, the award sponsor.
