ZHA’s Patrik Schumacher and Palestinian architect Suad Amiry named 2025 European Prize for Architecture winners

The 2025 European Prize for Architecture has been bestowed to two laureates: Saud Amiry and Patrik Schumacher

Awarded annually by The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, the Prize recognizes architects who have made a commitment to advance the principles of European humanism and the art of architecture. It also honors the commitment and achievements of European Architects who are championing a more critical, intellectual, and artistic approach to the design of buildings and cities.

Palestinian architect, scholar, activist, educator, and preservationist Saud Amiry is being honored for her exhaustive research, advocacy, and heritage protection of historic buildings in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank in Palestine.

Through her non-for-profit, Riwaq Centre for Architectural Conservation, which she founded in 1991, Amiry has been responsible for cataloguing thousands of historic structures, as well as restoring and rehabilitating hundreds of key cultural monuments and landmarks throughout Palestine.

Earlier this year, Amiry was awarded the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for Contribution to Architecture.
