Herzog & de Meuron

Herzog & de Meuron was founded in Basel in 1978 by the architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. Its projects range from private homes to urban planning and include Tate Modern in London, M+ in Hong Kong, the Allianz Arena in Munich and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and its many awards include the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
