The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced that Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, founders of SANAA, will be awarded the 2025 Royal Gold Medal for architecture. Recognized for shaping contemporary architecture through their minimalist yet refined designs, SANAA has established a universal architectural language. Their work emphasizes functionality, elegance, and inclusivity, with significant projects like the New Museum and Rolex Learning Center, which display their responsiveness to local contexts and commitment to sustainable, user-centered design, inspiring the future of architecture.
RIBA credits SANAA with balancing innovation and sensitivity to local environments, showing how architecture can be functional and elegant while providing calm in complexity.
SANAA's designs emphasize inclusivity and accessibility, creating spaces with transparency and natural light that integrate with surroundings and foster human connection.
