The Seoripul Open Art Storage will serve as the collective archive space for the Seoul Museum of Art, the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, and the Seoul Museum of History. Beyond its role as a storage facility, it aspires to be a dynamic civic space for Seoul residents and global visitors. Situated on an untouched site at the Eastern Border of Seoripul Park, the building will stand adjacent to the Seoripul Performance Art Center, collectively enhancing Seocho-Dong’s identity beyond its current role as a judicial and educational district on Seoul’s cultural map.

The Christoph Merian Foundation (CMS) sought to consolidate the various departments currently housed at their headquarters in Basel’s historic old town. This was to be achieved by moving into a new building that would replace the former dental clinic on a site in the grounds behind the property at St. Alban-Vorstadt 12. An innovative timber structure over three floors would provide a state-of-the-art working environment in keeping with today’s requirements of open communication and flexible teamwork.

Glimpses of an unbuilt temporary concert space by Lake Lucerne, proposed for Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’. The space integrates the stage and auditorium as a unified whole, with seats rising in a circular arrangement. The venue features a large moveable membrane supported by a 50-meter-high mast, allowing various spatial configurations during the performance. The fabric surface can be moved into different positions with pulleys — in this way, the audience is enveloped in a wide variety of spaces and immersed in different worlds, from geometric bodies to cave-like formations.

Upon acquiring the property of the Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como, an established client reached out to Herzog & de Meuron to create a master plan for the future development of the resort. Based on this work, we were brought on to redesign the outdoor pool area and improve the existing spa. Located in the village of Blevio directly on the shore of Lago di Como, the hotel sits in a parklike garden and is housed within a collection of buildings dispersed throughout the lush landscape. At its heart sits the historic Villa Roccabruna, distinguished by rich interiors and public spaces. The Villa, the colonnaded retaining wall, the lake promenade, and the surrounding parkland, constitute an emblematic landmark that is an important part of the area’s history. The project has therefore been developed in close collaboration with local and national heritage groups. Continue reading Herzog & de Meuron

The northwest edge of Allschwil, Switzerland, directly adjacent to the border with France, is a global hub for innovative companies in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medicine, and research. The SIP Main Campus project is being developed in this area within the BaseLink site, joining the existing Tech and Life Science Cluster; it is adjacent to sports facilities, a recreational area, and a residential neighborhood. The structural concept reduces interior divisions and vertical supports as much as possible, allowing for a large variety of uses; this flexibility, combined with the durability of building materials, extends the potential life span of the building. Start-ups, scale-ups, and established companies from the biotech and healthcare sectors are addressed as potential users, as are programs that contribute to a better work-life balance and the overall revitalization of the area – for example, the Swiss International School will open a primary school, which will help minimize the need for additional commuting for families.
