About this Event
The Jencks Foundation at The Cosmic House and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) are pleased to announce , a Brussels-based practice focused on the relationship between architecture and the city, as the 2023 recipient of the .
Given annually, the award recognises an individual or practice who has made a major contribution to both the theory and practice of architecture.
The award will be celebrated with a lecture by Dogma on their significant portfolio of work and approach to Architecture at RIBA headquarters, 66 Portland Place on Thursday 16th May 2024. We would love for you to join us.
Founded in 2002 by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara, Dogma’s work on large-scale urban design projects and exploration of the relationship between theory and practice continues to have a major influence on the profession, particularly among students, through both their thought processes and representation of architecture. In addition to design projects, members of Dogma engage passionately with teaching, writing and research, with Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara teaching at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Faculty of Architecture, KU Leuven respectively.
Dogma’s ‘research by design’ approach to exploring domestic space and its potential for transformation has resulted in studies and projects that have been exhibited internationally at the Tallinn Architectural Biennale (2014), the HKW Berlin (2015), the Biennale di Venezia (2016), the Chicago Architectural Biennial (2017), and the London Design Museum (2018).
On receiving the Award, Martino Tattara and Pier Vittorio Aureli, founders of Dogma said:
“We are truly delighted and honoured to receive this award. We are especially honoured because it is dedicated to Charles Jencks, whose practice combined history, theory and design, which are also inseparable aspects of our work. Over the last ten years, we have tried to put forward ideas to improve the way in which we live and work in our houses and in our cities, and have done this both through design proposals and by revisiting some of the most salient and often forgotten chapters of the history of our discipline. We would like to share the award with past and present collaborators without whom our work would have not been possible.”
