New Directions: Familiar Questions Jacques Herzog (1950-), Pierre de Meuron (1950-) “When I was new to my profession, we wanted to offer an abstract, minimalist alternative to the formal exuberance of postmodernism. But then we gradually noticed that minimalism is also a trap...It drove out irrationalism and localism…I’ve always been fascinated by shapes that elude any definition. Ideally, they trigger off complex associations and cannot be interpreted unambiguously. For us, architecture is a form of thought that should offer extensive incentives for us to become aware of ourselves and the world…The aim with our buildings is to tone down the visual side a bit and appeal to all the human senses. Beauty is, in the end, what moves all of us most. Though I don’t necessarily mean by that something harmonious and polished, but more the kind of beauty that seduces and bewilders.” Jacques Herzog Herzog and de Meuron, Ricola Warehouse, Mulhouse-Brunnstatt, France, 1987 Herzog and de Meuron, Ricola Warehouse, Mulhouse-Brunnstatt, France, 1987 Herzog and de Meuron, Ricola Warehouse, Mulhouse-Brunnstatt, France, 1987 Herzog and de Meuron, Ricola Warehouse, Mulhouse-Brunnstatt, France, 1987 Herzog and de Meuron, Goetz Collection, Munich, Germany, 1992 Herzog and de Meuron, Goetz Collection, Munich, Germany, 1992, sections Herzog and de Meuron, Goetz Collection, Munich, Germany, 1992, interior Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Dominus Winery, Napa, CA 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Library of the Technical University, Eberswalde, Germany, 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Library of the Technical University, Eberswalde, Germany, 1998 Herzog and de Meuron, Library of the Technical University, Eberswalde, Germany, 1998 Photos by Thomas Ruff.

A few weeks ago I heard Andreas Staier, one of the best fortepiano players in the world, being asked why he liked playing Schubert. With Schubert, he said, there’s no showing off and there’s always intimacy. Then I thought, aha, so there are others who think the way I do. Of course, showiness is needed now and then, it’s also a legitimate feature in urban development, but my passion is for intimacy. And for me, that means directness.” Peter Zumthor Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986 Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986, site plan Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986 Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986, exterior detail Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986, interior work room Peter Zumthor, Studio House, Haldenstein, Switzerland, 1986, interior ground floor Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996, initial sketch study Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996, plan Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996, section Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996, section Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Baths, Vals, Switzerland, 1996 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, wall detail Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, study sketch Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, plan Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, study section Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, section Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997, section Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Art Museum, Bergenz, Switzerland, 1997 Peter Zumthor, Brother Klaus Field Chapel, Wachendorf, Germany, 2007 Peter Zumthor, Brother Klaus Field Chapel, Wachendorf, Germany, 2007 Peter Zumthor, Brother Klaus Field Chapel, Wachendorf, Germany, 2007 Peter Zumthor, Brother Klaus Field Chapel, Wachendorf, Germany, 2007 Ricardo Scofidio and Elizabeth Diller, Diller Scofidio + Renfro “Our work is nothing other than a string of questions about architecture. More assertively, it is an attack on the core of architecture. But one has to have a great respect for what one chooses to attack. We both try to teach students how to make architecture so that we can teach them how to unmake it. It is a paradoxical process.” Diller + Scofidio, Slow House, North Haven, NY, 1988-91 (Partially Built) Perspective and Plans of TV in the Window Apparatus, Diller + Scofidio, Slow House, North Haven, NY, 1988-91 Diller + Scofidio, Slow House, North Haven, NY, 1988-91 (Partially Built) model Diller + Scofidio, Slow House, North Haven, NY, 1988-91 (Partially Built) model Diller + Scofidio, Slow House, North Haven, CT, 1988-90 (Partially Built) lower floor plan Diller + Scofidio, Para-Site, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, 1989 Diller + Scofidio, Para-Site, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, 1989 Diller + Scofidio, Para-Site, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, 1989 Diller + Scofidio, Bad Press, SF Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, 1993 Diller + Scofidio, Bad Press, SF Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, 1993 Diller + Scofidio, Bad Press, SF Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, 1993 Diller + Scofidio, Blur Building, Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, 2002 Diller + Scofidio, Blur Building, Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, 2002 Diller + Scofidio, Eyebeam, New York City, 2003, (unbuilt) Diller + Scofidio, Eyebeam, New York City, 2003, (unbuilt) Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Phantom House, American Southwest, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Phantom House, American Southwest, 2007, section Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Phantom House, American Southwest, 2007, axon Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Phantom House, American Southwest, 2007, axon Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007, section Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2007 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, High Line, New York City, 2009 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, High Line, New York City, 2009 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, High Line, New York City, 2009 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, High Line, New York City, 2009 Diller Scofidio + Renfrow, High Line, New York City, 2009 Greg Lynn (1964-) “Like in an ecosystem, the individual parts of my buildings should be in a relationship of interdependence – so that changing one part leads to a change in all the other parts. In a way, there are parallels there between building and cooking, since both are processes in which everything combines with everything else, changes, and in the end becomes a shared whole. That’s what separates my generation from people like Peter Eisenman or Rem Koolhaas. We’re not afraid of holistic concepts. My buildings should be as harmonious as classical architecture was. But I don’t want their rigorous order, but more of a movable, interactive structure. Because order becomes visible in harmony, as does beauty. And that’s what architecture is about – order and beauty.” Greg Lynn Greg Lynn, Embryo House, 1998, diagrams Greg Lynn, Embryo House, 1998, resin cast embryos.
