Labyrinthine Clarity: Structuralism in Dutch Architecture

Netherlands

The Story

During the 20th century's architectural movement, the Netherlands, a low-lying country, produced a significant number of pioneering architects who have profoundly shaped the appearance and trajectory of modern and contemporary architecture.

The tour of Dutch structuralist architecture thoroughly explores the Dutch structuralist school, with a focus on three key projects by Aldo van Eyck and three by Herman Herzberg. It also includes visits to iconic works by renowned Dutch architectural firms such as OMA, MVRDV, Mecanoo, and UNStudio. Additionally, the itinerary features visits to architectural firms Architectturstudio HH, OMA, MVRDV, and two esteemed universities: Delft University of Technology and Utrecht University. In this era dubbed the "Super Dutch" by the media, this journey offers an in-depth examination of the Dutch modern architectural landscape.
