The pioneer of Dutch architectural modernism sets out his design vision
In the 1910s, Dutch architect Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud (1890�1963) developed a new vision of modernist design with highly geometric construction through his government-commissioned housing blocks in Rotterdam. Though more closely associated with the concurrent De Stijl movement, Oud�s forward-thinking approach to architecture also proved indispensable to the Bauhaus school of thought. �What has happened teaches lessons for what is to come,� writes Oud in this examination of Dutch architecture, in which he summarizes theoretical and practical findings. Oud�s main concerns were with the establishment of cost-effective construction methods in concert with an attention to utility and human psychology. As part of the publisher�s ongoing Bauhausb�cher series, Lars M�ller has released a facsimile edition of Oud�s text translated into English with the original design and typography.
