Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the innovative design and urban planning of the de Young Museum in San Francisco, crafted by acclaimed architects Herzog & de Meuron. It chronicles the five-year journey of creating a building that harmonizes with Golden Gate Park, following the museum's history from its 1894 origins to its reconstruction after the 1989 earthquake. Richly illustrated, it highlights the museum's unique copper-clad exterior, inspired by the park's natural elements, and emphasizes its significance as Herzog & de Meuron's first major North American project.
