Meyer en Van Schooten Architects: 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 handyvac 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 cognisance 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
Circumstances influence the design, the ideas and the methodology of an architect. In this book the architects Roberto Meyer and Jeroen van Schooten explain how their projects and architecture are made dealing with changing circumstances. 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. "Circumstances" touches on the themes that influence the work, ideas and methodology of the Meyer & Van Schooten firm of architects

Meyer en Van Schooten Architects
The architecture of Meyer and van Schooten stands out for its inventive and innovative use of detailing, for its formal elegance and its bold gestures. Behind and within the seductive forms of their architecture there are myriad subtleties, not only in the details, but also in the spaciousness, the use of materials, and the angularity and stratification of the shell. Meyer and van Schooten seamlessly integrate form, function, and technology into a dynamic architecture that appeals directly to the senses. For the past two decades, Meyer and van Schooten have designed projects ranging from housing to bridges, from reconstructions of historic buildings to international corporate headquarters. This monograph will be the first published on their output.

Great Glass Buildings
In 'Great Glass Buildings", Peter and Jennifer Hyatt present fifty exemplary modern projects that explore a number of theories about the nature, mystique and attraction of glass in the architecture of recent years. Variously performing roles that include giftwrap, lightweight armour, transmitter and insulator, glass began its re-emergence as an architectural force during the 1990s, as a symbol of new modernism. Advances in glass-making and construction technology and the advent of structural glazing, fixing systems, glass coatings and waterproof connections have transformed the ambitious dreams of the past into reality. Including projects by Foster and Partners, Murphy Jahn, Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Renzo Piano and many others, this book reveals the complex nature of glass in today's architecture.
