Architecture, for me, has always been about the creation of beauty to edify all peoples around the world equally and to contribute to the evolution of the craft. The social impact of this discipline has been and will continue to be the guiding force in the experimentation that https://www.architecture.com/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal# 4/8 05/10/2020 Royal Gold Medal informs my practice. A heartfelt and sincere moment of gratitude and thanks to all the people who supported the journey to get to this moment.” RIBA President Alan Jones said: “It was my absolute pleasure and honour to chair the committee and be involved in selecting Sir David Adjaye as the 2021 Royal Gold Medallist. At every scale, from private homes to major arts centres, one senses David Adjaye’s careful consideration of the creative and enriching power of architecture. His work is local and specific and at the same time global and inclusive. Blending history, art and science he creates highly crafted and engaging environments that balance contrasting themes and inspire us all. I believe his both practising and teaching in schools of architecture has significantly enriched his work. His artistic and social vision has created public projects that perfectly demonstrate the civic potential of architecture – fostering empathy, identity and pride. David’s contribution to architecture and design globally is already astounding, and I am excited that we have so much more of it to look forward to.” Moscow School of Management Skolkovo / Iwan Baan The 2021 Royal Gold Medal selection committee (/knowledge-and-resources/knowledge- landing-page/meet-the-riba-honours-committee-2021), chaired by RIBA President Alan Jones, comprised architects Professor Lesley Lokko, Dorte Mandrup and last year’s Royal Gold Medal recipient Shelley McNamara (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal- gold-medal/royal-gold-medal-2020) and structural engineer Professor Hanif Kara. https://www.architecture.com/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal# 5/8 05/10/2020 Royal Gold Medal ROYAL GOLD MEDAL WINNERS 2021 - SIR DAVID ADJAYE (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal) 2020 - GRAFTON ARCHITECTS (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal/royal-gold-medal-2020) 2019 - SIR NICHOLAS GRIMSHAW (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal/royal-gold-medal-2019) 2018 - NEAVE BROWN (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal/royal-gold-medal-2018) 2017 - PAULO MENDES DA ROCHA (/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/royal-gold-medal-2017) 2016 - DAME ZAHA HADID (/knowledge-and-resources/knowledge-landing-page/zaha-hadid-receives-royal-gold-medal) SEE THE FULL LIST OF ROYAL GOLD MEDAL WINNERS See the list of Royal Gold Medal recipients from 1980 to 2021.

  • Peter Rice (1935-1992) and Richard Rogers (1933)
    Module 8 HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE PETER RICE (1935-1992) AND RICHARD ROGERS (1933) Peter Rice was one of the most imaginative and gifted structural engineers of the late 20th century. He was much loved by the architects with whom he collaborated, and together they achieved some of the most technically ingenious buildings of the period. He was born in Dundalk, Ireland, in 1935 and studied engineering at Queens University in Belfast and Imperial College London. In 1956, he joined the engineering practice of Ove Arup and Partners, which he collaborated with for 30 years. His first major project was working on the Sydney Opera House (designed by Jørn Utzon) when he was only 28. It was this project which gave him the experience of working on a large and complex project – a knowledge he would put to good use in his future career. Rice worked closely on major projects with architects such as Norman Foster, Ian Ritchie, Kenzo Tange and Renzo Piano. Piano said of him, “Peter Rice is one of those engineers who has greatly contributed to architecture, reaffirming the deep creative inter-connection between humanism and science, between art and technology.” The long list of significant buildings for which his rigorous approach created poetic results includes a series studies of structural forms and the possibilities of various materials – concrete at Lloyd’s of London (designed by Richard Rogers), glass at Les Serres at La Villette in Paris, ferro-cement and iron at the Menil Collection Museum in Houston (designed by Renzo Piano), and stone at the Pabellón del Futuro, Expo ’92 in Sevilla, Spain, to name a few.

  • “Shall We Compete?”
    5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall We Compete?” Pedro Guilherme 35 5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall we compete?” Author Pedro Miguel Hernandez Salvador Guilherme1 CHAIA (Centre for Art History and Artistic Research), Universidade de Évora, Portugal http://uevora.academia.edu/PedroGuilherme (+351) 962556435 [email protected] Abstract Following previous research on competitions from Portuguese architects abroad we propose to show a risomatic string of politic, economic and sociologic events that show why competitions are so much appealing. We will follow Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura as the former opens the first doors to competitions and the latter follows the master with renewed strength and research vigour. The European convergence provides the opportunity to develop and confirm other architects whose competences and aesthetics are internationally known and recognized. Competitions become an opportunity to other work, different scales and strategies. By 2000, the downfall of the golden initial European years makes competitions not only an opportunity but the only opportunity for young architects. From the early tentative, explorative years of Siza’s firs competitions to the current massive participation of Portuguese architects in foreign competitions there is a long, cumulative effort of competence and visibility that gives international competitions a symbolic, unquestioned value. Keywords International Architectural Competitions, Portugal, Souto de Moura, Siza Vieira, research, decision making Introduction Architects have for long been competing among themselves in competitions. They have done so because they believed competitions are worth it, despite all its negative aspects. There are immense resources allocated in competitions: human labour, time, competences, stamina, expertizes, costs, energy and materials.

  • David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Kitty Dumas 305-348-3892 / [email protected] Acclaimed British Architect to Speak at FIU David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat Miami- (March 1, 2008) - Internationally acclaimed British architect David Adjaye will speak on Friday, March 14, at 8:00 p.m. as part of The Frost Art Museum’s Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in the Green Library, GL 100 on the University Park Campus of Florida International University, 11200 SW 8th Street, Miami. The event is free and open to the public. Adjaye will discuss the creative process that has made him one of the most sought-after architects of his generation in the UK, and brought him international recognition. His ingenious use of materials and ability to sculpt and showcase light have attracted both critical success and admiration from the public. Adjaye built his reputation in London’s East End, designing houses and studios in this older, gentrifying area, for artists and celebrities including Ewan McGregor and Juergen Teller. Known for his use of light in creating spaces that blur the lines between art and architecture, he has said that he works “more like an artist than an architect.” Last year, Adjaye celebrated what he has described as the pinnacle of his career thus far with the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver, his first major public building in the United States. The museum is recognized by the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (Leed) as one of the country’s first “green” art museums, because of Adjaye’s use of recycled materials and energy efficient systems.
