Overview

After the simultaneous degree in architecture in 1975 at the ETH Zurich and the local activity as assistants Herzog and de Meuron founded in 1978 its office in Basel Rheinschanze 6 In addition to this Hauptsitz they have now also offices in London, Munich, Barcelona, ​​San Francisco and Tokyo. Overall, the company employs 330 people. Partner in the firm of Herzog & de Meuron are Harry Gugger (* 1956) and Christine Binswanger (born 1964 ).

Known International made ​​Herzog & de Meuron with the project for the Tate Modern in London, the outdoor space design, the architects - developed together with the Zurich landscape architect Dieter Kienast - as in many other projects. The art gallery was built Power Station in the old Bankside and opened in 2000. Due to the unexpectedly large rush of visitors is already an enhancement project in the planning stage. In addition, Herzog and de Meuron designed the two stadiums St. Jakob-Park in Basel and Allianz Arena in Munich. Planned for the 2008 Olympics and they built the National Stadium in Beijing. They dealt with the planning of a large new part of the city to bring new accents in the Chinese city- uniform architecture. Like the stadium was an attempt to combine history, tradition and today's requirements and integrate them into the buildings. The urban development project met with professionals with enthusiasm, because it would allow the identification of its residents with their neighborhood. The Chinese needs, however, are necessarily more rapid and cheap industrial estates. The work in China caused a wave of criticism. Chinese experts throw them showmanship and an abuse of China as a testing ground before, during criticize human rights cooperation with China because of human rights violations by the regime. Another point of criticism is the high cost of construction projects.

2005, the Hamburg Senate approved the construction of Elbe Philharmonic Hall. Above the multi-storey brick facade (designed by architect Werner Kallmorgen ) of Warehouse A in the Elbe is a gigantic glass shaft arise which will house, among others, three concert halls, a conference center, apartments and a hotel, the room behind the facade of the old memory has to be used, among other car park to be used. Similar to the Tate Modern is created by expansion and renovation of an old building a new one. The Elbe Philharmonic Hall is partially stylized already during the construction period, the new landmark of the Hanseatic city. Even here, however, are Herzog and de Meuron, according to investigation report for the horrendous increase in costs referred to as jointly responsible, for example, because several times to non-compliance deadlines.

In addition to numerous other awards and the two architects in 1993 received the German Critics Prize. In 2001 they Pritzker Architecture Prize was awarded. The jury praised her passionate dealing with a whole range of building materials, with the help of which they would promote architectural art. In 2006, she received the British Design Award of the Royal Institute of British Architects, 2007 Praemium Imperiale and the Big Nike Association of German Architects BDA. For the pharmaceutical company Roche Herzog & de Meuron designed with a 154 meters high building, which would become the tallest building in Switzerland. The tower should remember in the form of the double helix. This project was withdrawn from the pharmaceutical company. A new design for the office building, which will now reach 178 meters, was announced on 17 December 2009 by Roche. The foundation for this was laid in May 2012 in Basel. The reference skill is planned for 2015. Then it will be the tallest building in Switzerland before the Prime Tower in Zurich.

Herzog & de Meuron were also leading away in the use of gabions as a design element in building facades. In the Dominus Winery in Napa Valley, California, the first non-European project of the architectural practice in 1997, gabions were arranged as a ventilated façade, partially filled instead of breaking stone with glass breakage and thus translucent.
