Herzog & de Meuron is a partnership collectively headed by five Senior Partners – Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, Christine Binswanger, Ascan Mergenthaler and Stefan Marbach. Along with Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, Stefan Marbach is responsible for the New Bordeaux Stadium project.See the new visuals of New Bordeaux Stadium below.

He possesses real expertise in the design of sporting venues, having led and carried out amongst others the St Jakob-Park stadium in Basel as well as the national stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in China. Projects designed by Herzog & de Meuron range from individual homes to large urban constructions. Although they are credited with numerous highly recognized public venues, notably museums and stadiums such as the Allianz Arena in Munich, we also owe them remarkable private projects such as factories, offices and housing buildings. Among the many prizes they have been awarded figure the “Pritzker Architecture Prize” in 2001 as well as the “RIBA Royal Gold Medal” and the “Praemium Imperiale” in 2007.
