An Interview With Jacques Herzog

Design Observer features an interview with Jacques Herzog (of Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron). The interview is adapted from a forthcoming book Architecture Dialogues. Positions - Concepts - Visions edited by Marc Angélil and Jørg Himmelreich, which consists of a collection of interviews with Swiss architects, including Peter Zumthor, Mario Botta, Bernard Tschumi, Roger Diener and Peter Märkli as well as many young firms.

Incidentally, Herzog and de Meuron in collaboration with Ai Weiwei will design the 2012 Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavillion.
