Denys Lasdun is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — British architect of the National Theatre, London; Wolf Prize in Arts (1992)
A leading British modernist architect, Lasdun is best known for the Royal National Theatre on London's South Bank, whose stacked concrete terraces he called an 'urban landscape.' His work fused Modernist rigour with a sculptural sense of place, and he received the 1992 Wolf Prize in Arts. He came from a British Jewish family.
