The headquarters of the ING Group in Amsterdam is one of the most
spectacular buildings of our time. A steel construction with the
largest second skin facade in the Netherlands, it had etched itself
into public consciousness even before construction began. For
obvious associative reasons, the design by Roberto Meyer and Jeroen
van Schooten immediately attracted such nicknames as "the shoe,"
"the handyvac" and "the TGV" ("train grande vitesse," or
"high-speed train"). More than just an eye- and attention-catching
structure, the building is a complex unity of form, space,
construction, technique and detail. This publication takes an
in-depth look at the ING Group Headquarters, from its mind-boggling
structural framework and perfect detailing to its aura of ambience
and spatiality. The architects themselves provide a well-founded
and precisely detailed description of how and why their
architecture fits together. Plans, sections and photographic
details complete this photographic monograph of a buidling.
