The architects of Tate Modern in London, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and the M+ in Hong Kong are now a cultural attraction in their own right. Visitors to this exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London (14 July–15 October) will be able to walk around mock-ups of some of the Swiss firm’s existing buildings, while an augmented-reality experience offers a glimpse into a new project in Zurich. More than 400 objects from Herzog & de Meuron’s design studios will be included in the exhibition, including models, materials and photographs by the photographer Thomas Ruff. Find out more on the Royal Academy’s website.
