The Amsterdam School
"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."--
