An overview of the built and unbuilt works of Herzog & de Meuron, acclaimed by the New York Times as "one of the most admired architecture firms in the world". Renowned for such prominent buildings as London's Tate Modern, Beijing's Bird's Nest National Stadium and 1111 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, Herzog & de Meuron sits at the cutting edge of contemporary design.
