Herzog
and De Meuron: the Complete Works Vol 2: 1989-1991
This volume traces the development of the work of the
Basle architects Herzog and de Meuron. Much emphasis is placed on the initial
design processes, made tangible through plans and sketches. Finished buildings
are presented in great detail. Spanning the years 1989 to 1991, it covers
32 projects, including the well-known copper-clad signal box and locomotive
depot, the repository for the Goetz art collection, and the Pfaffenholz
sports centre in St Louis. The urban analyses emerging from the large-scale
study, "Basel, a City in the Making?", form a focal point in the
volume, as do the master plans for the university campus at Dijon and the
town sector of Sils Cuncas in the upper Engadine. ©Amazon.co.uk
