It was their almost obsessive interest in mathematics, fascination with technique and pleasure in designing that caused Moshe Zwarts and Rein Jansma to join architectural forces in 1990. Taking "technical" architecture to a very high and creative level, they have worked in tandem on stadiums, sport complexes and major infrastructure works such as bridges, viaducts, tunnels and motorways. Demonstrated in this book is the genius way in which their respective work syncs up and the processes that brought this pairing together. Included are a conversation between the architects and their colleague, engineer/architect Phillipe Samyn; an investigation of their unusual sources of inspiration and motivation; a complete overview of the work of Zwarts & Jansma Architects; a thematic selection of some 30 works, fully documented in site and floor plans, sections and details; plus a series of original photographs by Rob't Hart. Essays by Hans Ibelings, Jeroen Mensink and Kees Reijnboutt. Hardcover, 9.25 x 11.25 in./392 pgs / 400 color 100 BW0 duotone 0 ~ Item D20105
