Pierre de Meuron (born 8 May 1950) is a Swiss architect and co-founder, alongside Jacques Herzog, of the architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron.[1][2]

Among the firm's most recognized projects are the transformation of the Bankside Power Station into the Tate Modern in London, the design of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, and the creation of the Beijing National Stadium, commonly referred to as the "Bird's Nest," for the 2008 Olympics.[3]

Together with Herzog, de Meuron has been honored with prestigious accolades such as the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the Royal Gold Medal, among various other distinctions.[4][5]
