Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Herzog & de Meuron gehören zu den international bedeutendsten Architekten unserer Zeit. Der jüngste Auftrag für die neue Tate Gallery in London hat das einem breiteren Publikum ebenso signalisiert wie große Ausstellungen in Tokio, New York und Paris. Die Gesamtausgabe im Birkhäuser-Verlag für Architektur trägt diesem herausragenden Stellenwert Rechnung und stellt das Werk in seinem. Band 1 dokumentiert die ersten elf Jahre, 1978-88 von Herzog & de Meuron. Das pragmatische Denken für einen spezifischen Ort und Zweck in der sich rasch wandelnden Gegenwart, das den architektonischen Diskurs von Herzog & de Meuron in besonderer Weise auszeichnet, wird im Buch durch verschiedene theoretische Beiträge abgestützt. Die zentralen Projekte werden ausführlich vorgestellt. Im Anhang findet sich eine Chronologie aller 47 Werknummern von 1978-1988 mit präzisen technischen und bibliografischen Angaben.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book ..., May 13, 2000
By A Customer
Probably this is the best book I've seen on the works of Herzog & De Meuron. This book provides detailed information on the projects and finished buildings, asweel as project drawings and coments by the architects themselves. Every project is profoundly illustrated and commented (6-7 pages per building). Not very commonly, the plans and sections have reference to their presentation scale. The text by Gerard Mack is satistying (although not the best thing in the book), but having everything you need to judge for yourself (excelent photographs, plans and drawings), you hardly need any explanation. For the ones wanting the whole information, all the volumes of this series come with every project and building by the office, indexed in an appendix with one or two images and a short text. Plus the design is simple and beautiful and the information is right where you need it. If you really like this team of swiss architects' work, this book is a good choice.
