Multitud de tipologías

In your architectural studio, collaboration is fundamental. “The reality is that the good buildings arise from a good process and a good process means that you compromise and collaborate with different things,” explained. Over the course of four decades, I have achieved more than 100 diverse objects, of typology and geography, of civic, cultural and academic buildings that have residencias and planes of urban masters in Asia, Europe and North America.

Social and medial welfare

This means that its practice becomes more prolific, increases its defense of social and environmental welfare, denunciates the commercialization of architecture that serves global power in connection with local society, and the lack of sustainability that contributes to the climate crisis. “Los arquitectos no podemos actuar al marginen de la sociedad. We need society to support us (…) Essentially, what we hope for is that the global crisis forces us to reconsider the priorities of society, that the benefits are unique and that can motivate our decisions. »

Love for Galicia

With the creation of the RIA Fund in 2017, Chipperfield sponsored the investigation, the promotion of ideas and the development that fomented the protection of local natural phenomena and the constructions that resulted in the global disasters that took place along the coast of the Ría de Arousa.
