The Pritzker Prize for the year 2023 was just announced and the winner is Sir David Chipperfield. But why was he chosen, what makes him worthy of one of the highest awards in architecture. The answer perhaps, plain and simple, lies in his approach to design. Today in this video we will be looking at the story of a man, for whom architecture and its purpose is probably more important than his own artistic ambitions. In trying to understand why exactly he won the award, we might just uncover what the role of an architect is, or should be in the 21st century. So lets dive deeper into the life of the Pritzker winner for 2023 Sir David Chipperfiled.
