Architects Talks: Lina Ghotmeh

Yale School of Architecture and the Zaha Hadid Foundation hosted a talk by Lina Ghotmeh, founder of Lina Ghotmeh—Architecture, an international practice of architects, researchers, designers and artists.

The practice takes an in-depth, historical, and materially sensitive approach to its projects, developed through a process of thorough historical research.

Recent projects have included: Hermès Workshops, Normandy, France; Stone Garden Housing, Beirut; and the 2023 Serpentine Pavilion, London.

Lina Ghotmeh was declared by the European Architects Review as one of 10 “Visionary Architects for a New Decade”. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the AJAP Prize of the French Ministry of Culture in 2008, the Dejean Prize of the French Academy of Architecture in 2016, the Cardin Award of the French Fine Arts Academy in 2019, the Tamayouz “Woman of Outstanding Achievement” Award in 2020, and the prestigious Schelling Foundation Architecture Prize in 2021.
