"Herzog & de Meuron. Jacques Herzog und Pierre de Meuron (beide 1950 in Basel geboren) haben sich zunächst mit kleinen anuchsvollen Bauten und Projekten als Architekten ausgewiesen, die an einer Befragung der Architektur als eines zeitgenössischen Ausdrucksmittels interessiert sind. Mit ihren Arbeiten in der Schweiz und im Ausland gelingt es ihnen stets aufs neue zu zeigen, das ihr nachdrückliches Beharren auf der physischen, materiellen Dimension der Architektur den gedanklichen und konzeptionellen Ansatz erst richrig erkennbar macht. Auserdem gilt ihre Suche schon seit den ersten Entwürfen von 1978 einer Architektur, die dem Zeitalter elektronischer Medien entspricht. 1991 wurden Harry Gugger (geboren 1956) und 1994 Christine Binswanger (geboren 1964) Partner von Herzog & de Meuron. Die vorliegende Monographie dokumentiert alle wichtigen Bauten und Projekte vom Photostudio Frei in Weil, dem Stellwerk in Basel, der Goetz Galerie in München, der Tate Gallery in London bis hin zur Dominus Winery in Napa Valley/USA"--Page 4 of cover. "Herzog & de Meuron. Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (both born 1950 in Basel) at first proved themselves, with small, demanding buildings and projects, to be architects who are interested in a questioning of architecture as a contemporary means of expression. With their work in Switzerland and abroad they continue to successfully demonstrate that it is their firm insistence on the physical and material dimension of architecture which makes the intellectual and conceptual approach truly discernible. Ever since their first designs in 1978, they have been striving towards an architecture that corresponds with the age of the electronic media. In 1991, Harry Gugger (born 1956) and, in 1994, Christine Binswanger (born 1964) became partners at Herzog & de Meuron. The present monograph documents all important buildings and projects, from the Frei Photo Studio in Weil and the Signal Box in Basel, to the Goetz Gallery in Munich, the Tate Gallery in London and the Dominus Winery in Napa Valley/USA"--Page 4 of cover.
