"Palestinian architect, scholar, and activist Suad Amiry and German architect and theorist Patrik Schumacher jointly reveive the 2025 European Prize for Architecture from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art, Design and Urban Studies. The two architects are recognized for their contrasting but equally influential contributions: Amiry for her decades-long work safeguarding Palestinian architectural heritage, and Schumacher for his theoretical provocations and leadership of Zaha Hadid Architects."
"Since founding the Riwaq Centre for Architectural Conservation in Ramallah in 1991, novelist, essayist and architect Suad Amiry has dedicated her career to documenting and restoring Palestinian heritage as a form of cultural resistance. Riwaq's Registry of Historic Buildings catalogued more than 50,000 structures across the West Bank and Gaza, while projects such as the 50 Village Rehabilitation Project and The Life Jacket Project have combined conservation with social and economic resilience."
