Architectural and design media seems to focus on a dominance of European firms so it’s refreshing when there’s another face on the scene that represents a different perspective, different market, different context with different outcome. Neri & Hu are not new but their work remains as fresh as ever. Not singular in style, Neri & Hu continue to deliver work that is both challenging, diverse and at times, bordering on the abstract.

I know, I know, its not a competition. Its not about who’s the best, but…. Swiss architecture firm HDM (Herzog & de Meuron) have created another beautiful project that reinforces what an amazing design practice they are and have been, since being established in 1978 (by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron).
