1193. De Dageraad, Amsterdam

Dear Tom,

At De Dageraad housing section Michel de Klerk developed his ideas of "urban theater" designing some row of dwellings as large farmhouses that worked as theatrical scene paintings at the two squares of the new housing district.

Sincerely,

Dear Jo,

Michel de Klerk is one of the most 
important architect in Dutch modern 
history. Michel de Klerk, Piet Kramer,
and Jo van der Mey founded the 
Amsterdam School in 1916. The
architects of this movement explored 
and created new forms that reflected 
their vision of a new society.

Regards.

Dear Sybille,

This residential complex, nicknamed "the ship" because
of its shape, was built in Amsterdam by Michel de
Klerk in 1921. Its tower was meant to be topped by a
cock, the symbol of the Dutch Social Democratic party.

Cheers.
R
