Prof. Sophie Delhay

Sophie Delhay’s work interrogates the design and construction of social housing. Her practice places particular emphasis on the perspective of the residents, which she aligns with ecological dimensions. A winner of numerous prestigious awards, she will in the future explore broader sustainability issues in connection with adaptive re-use, new relationships between urban and rural areas, and the critical revision of the concept of living as a result of changing lifestyles. Sophie Delhay has just been nominated "Chevalière de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres" by the French Ministry of Culture. She was also rewarded with the Schelling Price 2022 (DE), nominated at the Mies Van Der Rohe 2022 Award (SP) and was awarded with the Equerre d’argent 2019 - Habitat Category (FR).
