“I am myself a dinosaur, I represent the old idea of architects, building monumental buildings in an old-fashioned way, holding on to quality.”, Chipperfield explains in an interview. The third extended edition monograph “David Chipperfield Architects” by Edition Detail portrays further more recent Chipperfield-projects.
David Chipperfield Architects. Architecture and Construction Details. 240 pages, 23 projects, edited by Sandra Hofmeister. 3rd extended edition, Edition Detail, Munich 2022.
On 240 pages the re-issue includes classics like the Neues Museum or the James-Simon-Gallery both of which are on the Berlin’s Museum Island but also adds the latest project of the international architect practice with teams in London, Berlin, Milan and Shanghai.
For instance, the transformation of a former monastery complex in Paderborn into the Jacoby Studios, also the renovation of the Neue Nationalgalerie by Mies van der Rohe in Berlin and the Hoxton Press high-rise, part of a revitalization project in a London residential complex – all of them documented with floor plans, sections and construction details.

The first projects were smaller commercial buildings such as the Joseph Menswear Boutique in London. Later came the Kaufhaus Tyrol department store in Innsbruck, the residential complex in a water garden in Hangzhou and the company headquarters of Amorepacific in Seoul. The growing number and scope of the commissions led to the much-needed expansion of Chipperfield’s own office, located in an old Berlin piano factory, by three new buildings. The book portrays architectural jewels and their constructive details, such as the Museum of Modern of Literature (Literaturmuseum der Moderne) in Marbach am Neckar as well as the Neues Museum and the James-Simon-Galerie, both of which are on Berlin’s Museum Island (both projects with new pictures in this edition).
