Herdog & De Meuron

Herdog & De Meuron, a Swiss architecture firm which founded and headquartered in Basel, Switzerland in 1978. They are best known for their conversion of the giant Bankside Powerstation in London to the new home of Tate Modern. Well, perhaps you never heard of that but I'm sure you are aware of their recent works, the Beijing National Stadium, Barcelona Forum Building, the Prada Tokyo and the Allianz Arena, Germany.

The reason I'm sharing this is because Mr. Zul suggested me the Allianz Arena in Germany as a reference for my Project 2 the Exhibition Design, which I can also consider the silk-screened glass as exterior materials and treatments in my design later.

In fact, most of us have seen some of their works before but I think none of us know a little about the heroes behind every of these amazing and stunning  architecture designs. It's time for us to give some credits and appreciations towards the designers.

Here are some pictures of their works, you can go to their > website < for more awesomeness projects.
