TATE MODERN
Herzog & de Meuron were the architects selected for the conversion of Bankside Power Station in 2000 into Tate Modern. They were selected from an international shortlist to further develop the building in January 2005.
Herzog & de Meuron was founded in Basel by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron and the practice now has offices in London, Munich, Barcelona, San Francisco and Beijing. The practice has received international acclaim and awards for its innovative work, including the Pritzker Prize in 2001, the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2003, and the RIBA Gold Medal in 2007.
The practice's recent and current projects include the new de Young Museum in San Francisco (2005), the National Stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing (2008) and The Philharmonic Hall, Hamburg, which will be completed in 2009.
