Arquitectura Viva 234 - David Chipperfield Architects

Be they coherent additions in dialogue with the preexisting, silient interventions on historic buildings, or constructions raised ex novo, the works conceived by David Chipperfield Architects to harbour museum institutions are luminous supports for art and culture that demonstrate a rigorous respect for context, an exquisite way with materials, and a strong civic commitment. Arquitectura Viva has for this issue selected three recent realisations, each of them crafted in a different office of the four-branch firm: the Kunsthaus in Zurich, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and the West Bund Museum in Shanghai.
