Herzog & de Meuron is a global architectural practice, founded in Basel in 1978 by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. The partnership has grown over the years, and today an international team of more than 500 employees under the leadership of a group of partners works on projects worldwide. The spectrum of building commissions ranges from housing to museums, libraries, stadiums, research facilities and hospitals, to urban planning and territorial studies of diverse scales. From the beginning an interdisciplinary working method has involved close collaborations with artists.
