Amsterdam School

The Amsterdam School is an architectural and artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century in the Netherlands, particularly in Amsterdam. It is characterized by its distinctive, expressive forms and intricate details, often incorporating bold colors and innovative materials. This style sought to break away from traditional designs, focusing on harmony with its surroundings and the needs of the community. The movement is best known for its contributions to urban housing, notably the social housing projects that reflect both functionality and aesthetics, emphasizing the importance of creating livable, vibrant spaces for people.
