The project

Tate Modern is a world-renowned art gallery housed in the former Bankside Power Station. Herzog & de Meuron led the original adaptive reuse (2000), transforming the vast Turbine Hall into a public gathering space. In 2016, they completed the Blavatnik Building (Switch House), a twisted pyramid extension clad in a perforated lattice of 336,000 bricks. The design reinterprets the power station's industrial aesthetic while providing diverse spaces for art and performance.

Elbphilharmonie

Concert Hall2017125,512 m²

The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg is a cultural landmark designed by Herzog & de Meuron, featuring a crystalline glass structure resembling a "hoisted sail" perched atop a historic brick warehouse. The heart of the project is the Grand Hall, a "detachable musical instrument" decoupled from the rest of the building for perfect soundproofing. Its organic walls are lined with 10,000 individually milled gypsum fiber panels ("The White Skin"), ensuring world-class acoustics designed by Yasuhisa Toyota.
