Description
In 2010-11 and 2011-12 the architectural history section will offer a course, open to all students, on the highlights of Dutch architecture. In 2010-11 we will present the period 1850-2000, in 2011-12 the period from the earliest beginnings of Dutch architecture c. 1000 until 1850. All main architects and currents will be discussed and placed in a wider European context: Cuypers, Berlage, Rietveld, Oud, Van Eyck, and Koolhaas; the Gothic Revival, Amsterdam School, Modernism, and Post-Modernism; the Rijksmuseum, Berlage’s Stock Exchange, the Van Nelle factory, Oud’s Shell Headquarters in The Hague, and the new Dutch Embassy by Koolhaas in The Hague. We will also include architects of importance who do not fit into this canonical view, such as the eclectic designers Leliman and Ed. Cuypers, or post-WWII Traditionalism.
Literature: to be announced.
