AUS BASEL - HERZOG & DE MEURON - ÉLIA PIJOLLET ...

The global success story of the Basel architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron has local
roots. This book traces these origins while identifying the essential ideas  professional
ethics  and development of their architectural practice  established in 1978. The biographies
of both architects and the activities of their practice are intimately bound up with the town
of Basel. With this embeddedness in Basel as a point of departure  the authors elucidate
central themes of their architectural oeuvre: from habitat to monument. With reference to
exemplary buildings  they analyze the motifs  constructive principles  and spatial design of
the architectonic works of Herzog & de Meuron. In addition  Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron
lead us on tours through Basel and its surroundings: statements by the architects  along with
photographs taken especially for this volume by George Dupin  present the locales and buildings
that have played key roles for the work of these architects. The book is rounded out by an
intensive exchange of ideas between the architects and Jean-François Chevrier.
