Jacques Herzog of Herzog & de Meuron
Jacques Herzog established Herzog & de Meuron with Pierre de Meuron in 1978 in Basel. The partnership has grown over the years; today the practice is led by five Senior Partners – Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, Christine Binswanger, Ascan Mergenthaler and Stefan Marbach. Herzog & de Meuron have designed a wide range of projects from the small scale of a private home to the large scale of urban design. While 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. Jacques Herzog was born in Basel in 1950. He studied architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) from 1970 to 1975 with Aldo Rossi and Dolf Schnebli. He received his degree in architecture in 1975 and became an assistant to Dolf Schnebli in 1977. Jacques Herzog is a visiting professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design since 1994 (and in 1989). He is a professor at the ETH Zurich since 1999 and co-founded the ETH Studio Basel – Contemporary City Institute in 2002. In 1983 he was a visiting tutor at Cornell University. The practice has been awarded numerous prizes including “The Pritzker Architecture Prize“ (USA) in 2001, the “RIBA Royal Gold Medal“ (UK) and the “Praemium Imperiale“(Japan), both in 2007.
