it was recently announced that the tenth alvar aalto medal has been awarded to the danish architecture
firm tegnestuen vandkunsten. this occasion marks the first time the award was given to a team of
architects instead of an individual. tegnestuen vandkunsten has been practising for almost forty years,
focusing primarily on residential architecture. they have been integrating ideas of communality,
convertibility and sustainable development into their work for many years. the firm was a pioneer in
developing socially and environmentally aware architecture, which was widely emulated. the alvar aalto
medal is awarded every five years or so to ‘persons with significant achievements in creative architecture’.
previous winners include alvar aalto, jørn utzon, tadao ando, glenn murcutt and steven holl.
