The international projects of the British architect David Chipperfield are characterized by their clear embedding in the history and planning of a place. In both the creation of new buildings and the renovation of existing architecture, he shows himself to be a master of the context. Chipperfield knows like no other how to connect the old with the new. The Embedded Nomad provides insight into the unique way of working of David Chipperfield and his agency David Chipperfield Architects (DCA) through a number of key works, including his renovation of the Neues Museum in Berlin.
