Elements Europe: The European Council and the Council of the European Union

Philippe Samyn, architect and engineer, created with this building for the European Council an architectural masterpiece. Clever in its entirety and in every detail, in its iconic functions, and in its decorum, it perfectly reflects the aura of power that the 28 members of the European Union share together. In addition to Jean Attali and Philippe Samyn's view on the building phases, this book also includes the overall picture of the project. All the phases of the building process as well as the facilities are dealt with. A must-have book for every architect and lover of architecture.

Jean Attali, PhD in Philosophy, teaches Urban Development at the Ecole nationale supperieure d'architecture Paris-Malaquais. Philippe Samyn is a civil engineer, architect and town planner with a PhD in Applied Sciences. He founded Philippe SAMYN & PARTNERS, architects and engineers, in 1980.
