The Swiss architects are the subjects of this ‘unusual’ exhibition
The architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron met at primary school in Basel back in 1957, said Robert Bevan in the Evening Standard. Since then, they have produced 600-plus buildings all over the world, ranging from luxury apartments to “cultural institutions”: in the UK alone, the cutting-edge projects they have overseen include Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, the Royal College of Art’s new outpost in Battersea, south London, and the conversion of the old Bankside power station into Tate Modern.
