Ingenhoven Overdiek and Partner was founded in 1993 and has gone on to become one of Germany's most successful young architectural offices achieving an astonishing number of competition successes. This volume highlights their methods of design and planning, revealing the search for a sustainable form to be an underlying factor and demonstrating how precision technology enables economic and ecological demands to be met. "They are continually working on problems and designs... the work of planning turns into that of developing... The form which emerges is a consequence of correct decisions and does not become rapidly outdated like the sensations of the last decades," says the architectural critic, Wolfgang Pehnt, on Ingenhoven Overdiek and Partner.Amongst their most important international projects are the high-rise RWE AG in Essen (1991-1997) and the Wan Xiang International Plaza in Shanghai (1994-2000), the high-rise Olympiapark, Munich (1998-2001) and Stuttgart Main Station (1997-2008). In addition the office has been commissioned to undertake significant projects in major German cities such as Berlin, Düsseldorf and Essen.
