This book presents excerpts from several interviews with the architect team of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron in which artist Rémy Zaugg poses a number of provocative questions on the architects' thoughts about architecture and art. These thoughtful and informative discussions offer valuable insights into the architectural concepts that underly the work of Herzog & de Meuron, who consciously design their buildings in dialogue with such artists as Joseph Beuys, Thomas Ruff, Helmut Federle and Rémy Zaugg and have developed a method based on the principle of co-authorship.
