they have a very unique way of incorporating and blending the landscape into the built form. right now they are working on building a power plant that will also provide downhill skiing or snowboarding.
i also really like herzog and de meuron. i actually had a chance to see one of their buildings while i was in madrid spain last spring. I didn't know who they were or anything about the building, but while walking the streets of madrid with my family we passed by this first building.
What I liked about it was how well i felt it blended old and new architecture styles. maybe blended isn't the right would since there are obvious lines separating material and styles, but somehow they are able to compliment each other.
it wasn't unitl i saw this image that i was able to find out more about the first building and the architects behind it.
