Established in Basel in 1978, Herzog & de Meuron
is a partnership led by Jacques
Herzog and Pierre de
Meuron together with Senior Partners Christine
Binswanger, Ascan
Mergenthaler, Stefan
Marbach, Esther
Zumsteg, and Jason
Frantzen. An international team of nearly 500 collaborators
including the two Founders, five Senior Partners, eight Partners, and 42
Associates work on projects across Europe, the Americas and Asia. The main office is in Basel with additional offices in
London, New York, Hong Kong, Berlin and Copenhagen.
The practice has
designed a wide range of projects from the small scale of a private home to the
large scale of urban design. Many projects are highly recognized public
facilities, such as museums, stadiums, and hospitals, and they have completed
distinguished private projects including offices, laboratories and apartment
buildings. Awards received include the Pritzker Architecture Prize (USA) in
2001, the RIBA Royal Gold Medal (UK), the Praemium Imperiale (Japan), both in
2007, and the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (USA) in 2014.
