AV 268-269: Herzog & de Meuron

Basel-based architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron has evolved remarkably since its founding in 1980. This monograph, their fifth in AV’s series, chronicles the firm’s last seven years of work (2017-2024). Now a global studio with seven offices and over 600 projects, they maintain their commitment to material innovation while addressing contemporary challenges. The volume showcases pivotal projects including Zurich’s Children’s Hospital, Hong Kong’s M+ museum, and the HORTUS development in Allschwil, alongside commentary on their Royal Academy of Arts retrospective. Luis Fernández-Galiano’s essays provide critical context for their continued architectural evolution.
