Herzog & de Meuron
Established in 1978, Herzog & de Meuron is a Swiss architectural office led by five senior partners that is known for its wide range of projects, from the small scale of a private home to the large scale of urban design. Many of their projects are highly recognized public facilities, such as their stadiums and museums; they have also completed several distinguished private projects including apartment buildings, offices and factories. The company's landmark projects comprise the Olympic Stadium in Beijing (also known as the Bird's Nest), The Tate Modern in London and the iconic 56 Leonard Street, a new condominium tower in New York's Tribeca neighborhood. Herzog & de Meuron have received numerous awards for their work including The Pritzker Architecture Prize (USA) in 2001. www.herzogdemeuron.com
