On the occasion of the 40th birthday of the worldwide leading architectural practice Herzog & de Meuron, we are publishing the first three volumes of the complete oeuvre as an economical study issue. The reprints, in original quality, comprehensively present all buildings and designs from its beginnings in 1978 up to the year 1996. While the first 50 projects took fourteen years to complete, the next 50 were accomplished in four, and the next in just three years; in parallel, the projects grew in size. The development of the practice over the first two decades can be tracked in fascinating documents of the time: from the completion of local projects to world-famous icons such as the Tate Modern and the Dominus Winery. sakriti opis
