Description

The Basel architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron have built their global success story on local roots. This book explores the origins of their practice, established in 1978, and delves into the essential ideas and professional ethics that shape their architectural work. Through a deep understanding of the town of Basel and its surroundings, the authors uncover central themes in Herzog & de Meuron's oeuvre, from habitat to monument. The book features exemplary buildings, analyzed through motifs, constructive principles, and spatial design. It also takes readers on tours of key locations, with statements by the architects and photographs taken especially for this volume. An exchange of ideas between the architects and Jean-François Chevrier rounds out the book, offering a unique insight into the creative process behind Herzog & de Meuron's work.
