518    Originally produced by Microcinema in 2001. 
520    The Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron 
       were jointly awarded the 2001 Pritzker Prize, their 
       profession's highest honour, for combining "the artistry 
       of an age-old profession with the fresh approach of a new 
       century's technical capabilities". Over the past twenty 
       years they have been involved in finding inventive 
       architectural solutions to building a diverse range of 
       projects - domestic, municipal and commercial - from a 
       modest switching station for trains to a strikingly 
       innovative approach to the design of a winery. Their 
       highest profile commission to date was the conversion of 
       London's giant Bankside power station into Tate Modern, 
       acclaimed by their peers, the media and the public alike. 
       Visiting examples of Herzog and de Meuron's ground-
       breaking style, this film reflects their capacity to 
       astonish and explore the way in which they transform what 
       might otherwise be ordinary shapes, materials and surfaces
       through new treatments and techniques. Their perspective 
       on and approach to architecture; their design dialogue; 
       the way their strengths and weaknesses complement each 
       other; and their collaborations with others, particularly 
       artists, will all be brought into focus to give a 
       fascinating insight into the cutting edge of architecture 
       today. The Tate Modern was opened to the public in London 
       on May 12th 2000. The new building is part of the Tate 
       Gallery, the largest contemporary art museum in the world.
       Sir Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate Gallery, recalls
       his idea of turning the power station, which was built in 
       various stages by Sir Gilbert Scott between 1948 and 1963,
       into the Tate Modern. The conversion of the disused power 
       station, as designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de 
       Meuron, was applauded by professionals and art lovers 
       alike. Starting from an electric power station running on 
       gas oil they have created an architectural masterpiece 
       whose fame will be recognized well beyond London. Thanks 
       to the contribution of Jacques Herzog and Harry Gugger, 
       partners in the Herzog & de Meuron practice, the 
       documentary retraces some fascinating insights into the 
       architecture of the Tate Modern. Following this line of 
       thinking one is bound to notice how significant even an 
       apparently unimportant detail can be for the work as a 
       whole.
