Herzog & de Meuron

Herzog & de Meuron is an international architectural practice based in Basel, Switzerland, established in 1978 by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. More than 500 people from 50 countries work in the main studio and its regional offices, taking on tasks that range from small, apparently insignificant buildings to large complexes, urban masterplans and territorial studies.

Across over 600 projects in 40 countries the practice works beyond the brief, beyond the site and beyond convention, arguing that all architecture is public and political because it is relevant to life in a community. Its built work includes Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts in Hong Kong, Sydney Modern, FORUM UZH in Zurich, the AstraZeneca Discovery Centre in Cambridge and Jade Signature in Florida.
