Herzog & de Meuron. An Exhibition
The title, No. 250, is the project number assigned to this exhibition in Herzog & de Meuron’s list of works. Just as every building project is given a number in Herzog & de Meuron’s archive, the larger exhibitions are also included in their list of works. These exhibitions are not primarily used to present what has already been achieved; rather, the architects attempt to make each exhibition an autonomous statement that can only be expressed in this form. The exhibition No. 250 is not intended as a celebration of Schaulager’s house architects. Our interest is not in the completed projects or finished buildings. Rather, it lies on another plane, having much more to do with a specific stance that marks the work of Herzog & de Meuron. This can be described as a fundamental openness vis- -vis the particular circumstances of a given project. The architects exploit this openness in order to initiate a dialog with the context, to integrate it and to react to it.
