Résumé:
Jeff Wall and Jacques Herzog are among art and architecture's most successful representatives. Award-winning photographer Wall's photography of Herzog & de Meuron's Dominus Winery in California (1999) represents the point of departure for a discussion on the relationship between art and photography. Questions arise on topics such as "photogenic architecture," the construction of pictures and buildings, and the question of time.

Résumé:
This elegant clothbound volume gives unique insights into the creative process that led to the architectural realization of the Calder Gardens in Philadelphia—a new cultural destination that brings together the visionary architecture of Herzog & de Meuron and the meticulous garden design of Piet Oudolf to celebrate the human spirit through Alexander Calder's art. Packaged in a beautiful clothbound cover, embossed with Herzog's own handwriting taken from his notes, this large-format publication invites readers to look over Jacques Herzog's shoulder during the development of the project. Numerous sketches and drawings are grouped into 10 chapters, from "Vertical Stacks of Fragments" to "The Underground Is Not Innocent," each accompanied by an equally personal short text. A selection of collages and study models round out this deep-dive into the acclaimed architect's working method, artistic intelligence and questioning, creative approach.

Résumé:
In 2008, Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei joined forces to design the celebrated Beijing National Stadium for the Olympic Games. In 2012, the team came together again for the Serpentine Gallery’s acclaimed annual commission, as part of the London 2012 Festival, the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad. Their pavilion takes visitors beneath the Serpentine’s lawn to explore the hidden history of its previous pavilions. Supporting the structure from below, eleven columns symbolize past pavilions, and a twelfth represents the current one. The pavilion’s interior is clad in cork, to evoke the excavated earth, and is built as a network of pathways and trenches. Herzog & de Meuron and Weiwei’s archaeological approach creates a space that invites visitors to look beneath the surface of the park as well as back in time to the inspiration of earlier structures. Foreword and interview by Julia Peyton-Jones, Hans Ulrich Obrist
