Jacques Herzog helped build one of the most influential architectural practices of the modern era, a Swiss partnership responsible for some of the most talked-about buildings across the globe. Its reach is genuinely worldwide.
The practice is known for its inventive use of materials and its refusal to settle into a single signature style. Each project is approached as a fresh problem, which has kept the work consistently surprising.
From museums to stadiums, its buildings have reshaped skylines and set new standards for what contemporary architecture can achieve. Ambition and rigour define the output.
Herzog’s role reflects the strength of Swiss architecture on the world stage. The practice turned a base in Basel into global influence.
