ING Group Headquarters

The headquarters of the ING Group in Amsterdam is one of the most spectacular buildings of our time. Even before construction began, the design by Roberto Meyer and Jeroen van Schooten had etched itself into the public consciousness, immediately attracting such nicknames as the shoe, the dust buster and the TGV. The ING head office is more than just an eye-catching form. This is only one aspect of the complex unity of form, space, construction, technique and detail achieved by this architecture.
This book takes in-depth cognizance of this extraordinary building, from its mind-boggling structure and perfect detailing to its wealth of ambiences and spatiality. The architects themselves provide a well-founded and precisely detailed description of how their architecture fits together, and why this is so. Plans, sections and a great many details complete this building monograph together with stunning photographs from George Fessy.

Circumstances cover

In the monograph ‘Circumstances’ Meyer and Van Schooten explain how changing circumstances influence their work, ideas and methodology.
Circumstances influence the design, the ideas and the methodology of any architect. Building techniques are constantly changing, products are being developed further, and sustainability is attracting increasing attention. These are the conditions under which architects have to work and to which they have to adjust their designs. Moreover, they are faced with a growing urban density, changes in the nature of the commission, and large-scale teams.
