The winning proposal for the Museum of the 20th Century in Berlin, one of the most important competitions in the contemporary scene, is the coda of this double issue on Herzog & de Meuron, the fourth monograph AV dedicates to the Swiss studio. With an introductory essay and thirteen critical texts by Luis Fernández-Galiano, the issue covers 34 works and projects developed over the last four years. Among them, two recently completed buildings already rise as landmarks of contemporary architecture: the Tate Modern extension in London and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.
