Herzog & de Meuron Exhibition at Centre Pompidou
The Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris hosted an exhibition on Basel-based architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron from March 8 to May 22. The architects, who won the competition for the Tate Gallery extension in London in January 1995, have been developing a complex architectural approach since the early 1980s, sharing certain orientations with the young Swiss school. Their projects build bridges to other artistic practices and renew the impact of abstraction in architecture.
