Architect Lina Ghotmeh will judge the AR House awards 2023
Architect Lina Ghotmeh is the founder of the Paris-based studio Lina Ghotmeh – Architecture.
Born in Beirut, she sees her practice as an ‘archaeology of the future’: informed by research, her work seeks to express the raw qualities of materials and create symbiotic relations with nature. Celebrated projects include the Estonian National Museum in Tartu (in collaboration with Dan Dorell and Tsuyoshi Tane) and the Stone Garden, a housing block in Beirut with a distinctive hand-carved facade. She has just completed a leather workshop for Hermès in Normandy and her Serpentine Pavilion is opening to the public on 9 June.
Ghotmeh has been a visiting professor at both the Yale School of Architecture and the University of Toronto, and also teaches at the International Academy of Architecture.
Her work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the MAXXI in Rome, the Cooper-Hewitt and the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, the Building Centre and the V&A in London, and the Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen. Her accolades include the Schelling Architecture Award 2020, the Tamayouz Woman of Outstanding Achievement award 2020, the Prix Cardin 2019, the Prix Dejean 2016, and the Grand Prix AFEX 2016.

AR House
Launched in 2010, the AR House awards recognises originality and excellence in the design of dwellings. The house – a key rite of passage for architects – offers the potential for innovation and is critical to the ferment and crystallisation of new ideas. Looking for projects built in the last five years, AR House recognises creativity and originality, and ideas that push the type forward whatever the scale and construction cost.
