Legendary architect Peter Zumthor is to receive the RIBA’s highest honour

Swiss architect Peter Zumthor is to receive the Royal Gold Medal from the RIBA, one of the highest honours in the architecture and design world. Personally approved by Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Gold Medal is a celebration of a lifetime’s achievement in the profession and recognises an individual’s influence ‚either directly or indirectly on the advancement of architecture‘.

Speaking on this morning’s announcement, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) which selects the Royal Gold Medal recipient said: «Peter Zumthor’s work renews the link with a tradition of modern architecture that emphasises place, community and material practice. His writings dwell upon the experience of designing, building and inhabitation while his buildings are engaged in a rich dialogue with architectural history. I will be delighted to present him with the Royal Gold Medal.»
