Résumé

Munich architect Thomas Herzog has been internationally renowned for two decades as a pioneer of ecological and energy conscious building and as one of the foremost innovators of building design. For Herzog the use of solar energy is a design principle, which stimulates him to develop innovative architectural forms. This catalogue presents in detail a selection of the architect 's most important projects to date. Also included is a selection of essays by leading experts introducing various aspects of Herzog 's work, and a comprehensive overview of projects of the office “Herzog+ Partner”.

Around twenty of the most important projects are shown here with sketches, plans and models, as well as stunning photographs. The presentation brings out the innovative aspects of each project, showing how individual building forms have been found through a rigorous search for the optimum functional, constructive, ecological and design solution. Herzog 's own statements on his work provide a further insight into his approach; the volume also includes his most important university research projects, as well as texts on central questions of architecture, solar energy, and energy conscious building.
