Founded in 1978 by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, now major figures on the international architecture. They have turned enveloping buildings into an art form. Fascinated by everyday materials, they explore textures, before transforming them into something surprising…
Their vision of architecture is however less concerned with radical innovation than with an uninterrupted and gradual transformation of existing projects.
