(p. 134) About the two villas in Vlaardingen on the Van Heutzpark: 'In designing these villas Haan is very radical in his choice of simple rectangular forms, but softens the design again by a refined use of glass and natural stone and by good detailing. In this, his architecture is closely related to the work of the Dane Arne Jacobsen. In the very open experienced residential houses an intriguing game is played between inside and outside.'(pp. 160-161) | The book begins with an introduction, then cities in the Netherlands and Belgium are discussed, first a general section on post-war reconstruction and the various architectural styles. A. Staal is mentioned on p.18, p.32-33; p.37-38 and p.41.P.18: The architecture of the 1950s is of high quality, whether it is a showcase or an office building, examples are then given; Staal's buildings are more playful because they respond closely to the surroundings and differ greatly from one another.P.32: The houses in Slotermeer, Geuzenveld and Osdorp came about from a collaboration between housing associations and architects. The architects were: Oud, Dudok, Berghoef, Van Tijen, Bijvoet, Merkelbach, Evers, Sarlemijn, Kloos, Van den Broek, Staal and Rietveld.On p.33, A. Staal's housing construction on the Burgemeester de Vlugtlaan is mentioned.On p.37, the Metropool office building on Weesperstraat 99 in Amsterdam from 1966 is mentioned. Before the war, with his contribution to J.F. Staal's Jewish Invalide on Weesperstraat 1, A. Staal showed a more playful approach to the principles of New Building. For the sake of perspective, A. Staal buckled the enormous long facade of the Metropool office building in several places and allowed the building to swerve inward about a meter toward the center at the bridge to Nieuwe Kerkstraat. The three group roof dormers indicate the three sections. The heights of the corner endings respond to those of the adjacent warehouses. The entrance is given extra emphasis by the loggia above it; the sculptural treatment of the elevator and ventilation structures and the capricious course of the roofline are characteristic of A. Staal's postwar work. The large number of windows and stores on the first floor give the building an inviting karkter. When the orange awnings are lowered on sunny days, the building is a feast for the eyes, the relief of the facades is deep. Even before the war, Staal, Komter and Sijmons wanted to combine the principles of the Nieuwe Bouwen with more attention to monumentality. | This book on modern architecture and urbanism discusses the following designs by Piet Blom: the Blaakoverbouwing Rotterdam, Woningbouw Gesloten Stad Kattenbroek Amersfoort, Woonwijk Kasbah Hengelo and Mensa de Bastille TH Twente.
