Expressionism (de Klerk, Kramer)

·         Eigen Haard Housing/ Het Schip (The Ship)

An apartment building located in the Spaarndammerbuurt district of Amsterdam is the most famous example of the Amsterdamese school. Traditional massing, red brick facade, red roof tiles, ladder windows and brick details make this building a succesful example of modern vernacular. The original apartments had flush toilets, gardens on the ground floor and a post office. Designed by Michel de Klerk, built 1917.-1920.

A complex of social housing designed by de Klerk and Kramer (1920-1923) which is a part of partially executed Plan Zuid (Plan South) designed by Berlage. It's name (The Dawn) is inspired from the rising sun and is a reference to the socialist moevement of that time. Gently undulating brick work are typicall of the Amsterdamese School.

·         Het Scheepvaarthuis (The Shipping House)

The building was built as a headquarters of six Amsterdam shipping companies in two phases: 1913 - 1916  and 1926 -1928. It is an luxurious example of the Amsterdam School where architects could design elaborate and rich details as oppised to the social housing of the period. The facades are adotned with exotic sculptures that represent the Dutch colonial empire. Nowdays it is occupied by Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam where you can have a breakfast or a lunch. You can have a guided tour by Amsterdamese School Museum. Designed by  Johan van der Mey, Michel de Klerk, Piet Kramer.

·         The Olympic Stadium

Designed by Jan Wils and built for  1928 Summer Olympics that were held in Amsterdam.

Except for being an example of Amestedam School the stadium is a place where the idea of the Olympic Flame was introduced. An adjacent Marathon tower has four balconies which were used by horn blowers during the Olympic ceremony.

It is not a secret the the United States had a big influence in the early days of Cuban independence (and before). When you mix that with hispanic sense of art and architecture and a tropical climate what you get is a colorful nation like Cuba and Art Deco in Havana. Exploring Havana is like entering the time capsule. Not only the city is one of the best preserved colonial cities of the Americas, but it is one of the top Art Deco destinations. While Europe in 1920s had early modernism, Cuba had Art Deco art executed with luxurious materials and pastel colors.
