Architect, urban planner, and activist Sir David Alan Chipperfield has been awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize 2023.

His work over the decades includes hundreds of buildings ranging from cultural and academic buildings to residences and urban architectural projects throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.

According to the jury, Chipperfield is "subtle yet powerful, subdued yet elegant, he is a prolific architect radical in his restraint, demonstrating reverence for history and culture while honoring pre-existing natural and built environments; he reimagines the functionality and accessibility of new buildings, renovations, and restorations through timeless modern design that addresses climatic urgencies, transforms social relations, and reinvigorates cities."
