Design in Dialogue #99: Jacques Herzog

Jacques Herzog, founding partner of the eminent architectural firm Herzog & De Meuron, will join us for an in-depth conversation about his own firm’s practice and legacy, and the cultural role of the architect today. Among the topics we considered are the building’s qualities as a sculptural object; Herzog & De Meuron’s many collaborations with artists, such as Ai Weiwei, Rémy Zaugg, and Thomas Ruff; the architect’s role in defining the identity of cities; and transformations in the discipline over the course of his long and influential career.
