Nach gut acht Jahren erscheint der lange erwartete sechste Band des Gesamtwerks von Herzog & de Meuron zu den Jahren 2005 bis 2007. Die rund 60 Projekte zeigen die Schweizer Architekten auf der Höhe ihres Könnens. Darunter finden sich so ikonische Bauten wie Das Perez Art Museum in Miami und das VitraHaus in Weil am Rhein. Die Entwürfe dieses Bandes breiten das ganze Vokabular architektonischer Mittel aus und reagieren äusserst vielfältig auf aktuelle Entwicklungen der Epoche. Vom kleinen Umbauprojekt eines Privathauses über ein Atelier-Ensemble bis zu Wohntürmen und städtebaulichen Projekten im grossen Massstab wird die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Ort verfeinert. Dabei entwickeln Herzog & de Meuron immer wieder neue Verfahren und schlagen Bezüge zum Vokabular der klassischen Moderne und zur eigenen Werkgeschichte. Architektur wird zum Mittel, einer zunehmend virtuell geprägten Welt Körperhaftigkeit und Halt zu geben<A></A>.

After eight years, the new volume on the complete works of Herzog & de Meuron is published covering the years 2005 to 2007. The book presents 60 projects, which show the architects at the height of their powers. Their designs encompass the full range of architectural devices and respond to contemporary developments with a wide range of solutions – the designs refine the interaction with the respective site, with projects ranging from a small private conversion project to a studio ensemble, through to residential towers and urban design projects. For their designs, Herzog & de Meuron again develop new processes and create references to classic modernism just as to their own oeuvre. Architecture becomes a means of providing physical presence and stability in an increasingly virtual world.
