Herzog & de Meuron is a Swiss architecture studio founded in Basel in 1978 by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. Internationally renowned for its conceptual clarity and material innovation, the practice has redefined the relationship between architecture, place, and culture across typologies, from museums and stadiums to infrastructure and urban planning. With a process deeply rooted in research and experimentation, Herzog & de Meuron approaches each project as a unique response to context, function, and social impact. Their body of work includes iconic landmarks such as the Tate Modern in London, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics. The firm’s commitment to craft, structure, and spatial experience has earned it the Pritzker Architecture Prize (2001), among many other accolades. Today, the practice operates globally, with partners and teams in Basel, London, Hong Kong, and New York, continuing to shape contemporary architecture through an interdisciplinary lens that bridges art, design, and urbanism.
