Jason Frantzen , discusses Herzog & de Meuron’s projects around the world, from the UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center in San Francisco to the National Library of Israel. The Switzerland-based firm’s international architectural practice focuses on creating designs that take into account the specifics of place. Landscape, local materials, community culture, surrounding architecture, local history, and other factors provide inspiration and guidance for the firm’s designs. Frantzen provides examples of how Herzog & de Meuron considers atmosphere and occupant experience, tailoring the project to elements of nature or the artifacts of civilization, rather than conforming to a particular trend or aesthetic.
