| | Allianz - Herzog/de Meuron and their sensual stadium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Herzog and de Meuron have earned their reputation by continually exceeding public expectations and dreaming up new solutions for exteriors and facades, astounding observers time and again. |
 | | Herzog dismisses critics who consider the whole thing is just smoke and mirrors: "Effects, light, top players, drama, it’s all part of the show in soccer," he responds, naming his mission as providing the appropriate stage and scenery. |
 | | Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron have designed a diverse range of projects including blocks of flats, factories, locomotive sheds and university libraries, but they are best known for stadiums and museums. |
