Book excerpt: "The first years of this century witnessed the birth in Amsterdam of a movement which with its sculptural opulence of form would alter dramatically the appearance of that city. Under the leadership of architects like Wijdeveld, Kramer and De Klerk there evolved an expressionist visual language which under the name of Amsterdam School would create a stir on an international scale. Here, aided by almost 500 illustrations, is a comprehensive survey of many designs produced by the Amsterdam School, including such masterpieces as Van der Mey's Scheepvaarthuis, Berlage's plan for Amsterdam South, Kramer's bridges and De Klerk's De Dageraad and Eigen Haard housing estates. The work also deals with the carvings of Hildo Krop, street furniture, furniture designs and domestic interiors. The extensive bibliography and biographies of the most important architects make this an indispensable work of reference."--

Book excerpt: Michel De Klerk, who died young, was the leader of the Amsterdam School, the expressionist movement in Dutch architecture of the second and third decades of this century. In two essays and an extensive catalogue Sigrid Johannisse and Vladimir Stissi have analyzed De Klerk's designs and shed light on their genesis. In addition, they place De Klerk and his work in the context of the Amsterdam architecture of the first decades of the century, as well as the national and international one. Furthermore, they demonstrate De Klerk's contribution to the development of the task of public housing in the urgban space, with the famous blocks on the Spaarndammerplantsoen in Amsterdam as high point. In an introduction, Manfred Bock describes the complicated art historical reception of De Klerk's work and the interest in one of the most extraordinary Dutch architects of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: The fantastic works of Antoni Gaudí and the Amsterdam School still appeal to the imagination. And although the architects never met each other, they were children of the same period. They looked for beauty and individuality in a world which was becoming increasingly functional and impersonal. At the heart of their designs are nature and its organic forms, craftsmanship and traditional materials. At the same time, though, they did not turn their backs on modernity, embracing new techniques and production processes. This publication gives insight to the similarities and differences between the work and philosophy of Gaudí and the Amsterdam School architects. Special contributions from Spanish and Dutch scientists are collected in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1999 Spiro Kostof Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians. During the early 1900s, Amsterdam developed an international reputation as an urban mecca when invigorating reforms gave rise to new residential neighborhoods encircling the city's dispirited nineteenth-century districts. This new housing, built primarily with government subsidy, not only was affordable but also met rigorous standards of urban planning and architectural design. Nancy Stieber explores the social and political developments that fostered this innovation in public housing. Drawing on government records, professional journals, and polemical writings, Stieber examines how government supported large-scale housing projects, how architects like Berlage redefined their role as architects in service to society, and how the housing occupants were affected by public debates about working-class life, the cultural value of housing, and the role of art in society. Stieber emphasizes the tensions involved in making architectural design a social practice while she demonstrates the success of this collective enterprise in bringing about effective social policy and aesthetic progress.
