An affordable overview of the built and unbuilt works of Herzog & de Meuron, acclaimed by the New York Times as "one of the most admired architecture firms in the world" Renowned for such prominent buildings as London's Tate Modern, Beijing's Bird's Nest National Stadium and 1111 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, Herzog & de Meuron sits at the cutting edge of contemporary design. Founded in Basel more than 40 years ago, the Swiss architectural practice is now an international partnership with projects across the globe--among them, museums, hospitals, skyscrapers, arenas, and private and civic buildings. Produced in close collaboration with the architects and published for a major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, this volume gives an authoritative account of the inner workings of what the New York Times dubbed "one of the most admired architecture firms in the world." The book appraises a representative selection of its projects, both completed buildings and those still in the works, providing visual materials such as models, material samples and prototypes. Texts by leading writers, practitioners, filmmakers and thinkers also figure, offering expert analysis of the firm's commanding portfolio.

Herzog & de Meuron, established in Basel in 1978, is a partnership led by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron together with Senior Partners and an international team of over 500 collaborators across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Their practice has designed a wide range of projects from the small scale of a private home to the large scale of urban design. Many projects are highly recognized public facilities, such as museums, stadiums, and hospitals, and they have completed distinguished private projects including offices, laboratories and apartment buildings. Christoph Oswald, born in 1961, lives and works in Zurich, where he studied art history and politics and initially wrote for a number of European art magazines before working for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Weltwoche, and Tages-Anzeiger.

Rémy Zaugg (1943–2005) dealt with questions of perception in his conceptual work. He did not see it as limited to seeing, but as a human function of the reciprocal relationship to the world. His work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, works in public space, art on building projects, and architectural designs. Among the artists of his generation, he is considered one of the role models for the transmedial approaches of today's young generations of artists. His collaboration with the architects Herzog & de Meuron, with whom he realized around 15 projects in the years before his death.\nRémy Zaugg (1943–2005) was an internationally renowned artist who lived and worked in Basel and Mulhouse. He saw himself as a painter, yet he would not limit himself solely to the production of images. Rather, from his painterly practice he generated general assumptions for a processual conception of the work that enabled him to view spatial, architectural, and urban contexts in new, unfamiliar ways. Accordingly, the perceiving human being as a member of society was always at the center of his considerations—all his aesthetic assumptions led to the emancipatory idea of the "becoming" subject.

More than any of their contemporaries, Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron are challenging the boundaries between architecture and art. Natural History explores that challenge, examining how the work of this formidable pair has drawn upon the art of both past and present, and brought architecture into dialogue with the art of our time. Echoing an encyclopedia, this publication reflects the natural history museum structure of the exhibition which it accompanies, organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Models and projects by Herzog &amp; de Meuron, as well as by other artists, are structured around six thematic portfolios that suggest an evolutionary history of the architects' work: Appropriation &amp; Reconstruction, Transformation &amp; Alienation, Stacking &amp; Compression, Imprints &amp; Moulds, Interlocking Spaces, and Beauty &amp; Atmosphere. Each section is introduced with a statement from Herzog, and more than 20 artists, scholars, and architects have contributed essays, including Carrie Asman, Georges Didi-Huberman, Kurt W. Forster, Boris Groys, Ulrike Meyer Stump, Peggy Phelan, Thomas Ruff, Rebecca Schneider, Adolf Max Vogt, and Jeff Wall. 
A building is a building. It cannot be read like a book; it doesn't have any credits, subtitles or labels like pictures in a gallery. In that sense, we are absolutely anti-representational. The strength of our buildings is the immediate, visceral impact they have on a visitor. --Jacques Herzog
