The Royal Academy of Arts gears up for its Herzog & de Meuron exhibition that opens on 14 July 2023 in London. Here, we take a sneak peek at the preparations and the studio’s rich body of work
Herzog & de Meuron has been active in architecture for the last four decades, but while the work of Swiss studio’s founders Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron undoubtedly has a signature twist, you don’t always know their buildings when you see them. The pair has an intuitive and creative approach which has aided them in creating an international company and brand, the legacy of which will last long into the indefinite future.
‘I didn't know what architecture was, I was never inspired by the idea, ideology or beliefs,’ says Herzog, who started out studying fine art before switching to architecture.They are famous for their collaborations and friendships with artists fromto Thomas Ruff and the way they execute ideas speaks to an artistic approach and is something Herzog is leaning into in some of his most recent projects like the Motorway Chapel in southern Italy.
