Jacques Herzog on Tate Modern | TateShots

Herzog and De Meuron have been behind some of the world’s most spectacular buildings - from Beijing’s Olympic Stadium to the original Tate Modern nearly a decade ago.
In 2016 Tate Modern's ambitious new extension opened to the public. TateShots was given privileged access to the architects’ studio in Basel, Switzerland, when the work was underway. In our film, Jacques Herzog talks about his excitement to be working on the project, and why TM2 (as the new building project was known) would stand out in London’s busy skyline.

Like all truly inspired architects, Herzog & De Meuron is concerned with the phenomenology of architecture: what the user (visitor) actually experiences in moving through space(s). Architect may seem abstract to some people, but in fact it is an engagement of the senses in a serial progression through a building (including the approach).

How does it feels to know that your design, your building didn’t provide safety to a young kid who was thrown out of the top floor by another kid?
