HERZOG & DE MEURON
The architecture of Herzog and de Meuron resides at the intersection of fine art and efficient function. The architects maintain close ties to contemporary conceptual art movements, but they also embrace the limitations imposed on them by the requirements of use. Industry, efficiency, and minimalism have always been part of Herzog and de Meuron’s aesthetic. Their structures stick to simple geometric forms, rectangles and cubes with textured outward facades devoid of protruding embellishments.Flat, planar surfaces, textured with stone that gives them an unusual textile quality, seem to hint at a hidden depth within. The result is a unique integration of unity and multiplicity, of simplicity and complexity: a delicate, precise balance of function and form.
