This volume traces the development of the work of the Basle architects Herzog and de Meuron in the first 11 years. 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 1978-1988, it covers a number of projects, and explores how the men developed a methodological basis upon which the large projects of the following years could be based. Herzog and de Meuron's early designs were so condensed with the expression, function and structure, that they formed a whole. A central theme of the first decade of their work called for taking a fresh look at building materials.
