Jacques Herzog
Jacques Herzog
Jacques Herzog was born in Basel, Switzerland, in 1950 and studied under Aldo Rossi and Dolf Schnelbi. The Herzog & De Meuron Architecture Studio he founded in Basel in 1978 with Pierre de Meuron is widely acknowledged as one of the leading young design practices in Europe and has won many prizes, including the prestigious Max Beckman award in 1996. The studio won an international competition to convert Bankside Power Station into the Tate Gallery of Modern Art and has recently been shortlisted for the planned major expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Other successful projects include the Ricola Europe's new factory building in Mulhouse and the Schutzenmattstrasse apartment building in Basel.
