On November 17, 2008 in Naples, David Chipperfield received the Cubo d’Oro Prize.
The prize is presented annually by the Annali dell’Architettura Foundation and the city of Naples in order to recognize the contribution made by architecture professionals towards the development of architecture and urban territorial planning in this region of Southern Italy.
At the moment, London-based Chipperfield is working on the Palace of Justice in Salerno, Italy.
Past recipients of the award include Dominique Perrault for the redesign of Piazza Garibaldi in Naples and the plaza’s underground transport station, Zaha Hadid for her designs for new High Speed Train station in Afragola, and Peter Eisenman who designed the stations for the ‘Circumvesuviana Santuario’ and the Villa dei Misteri, in Pompei.
