Review of two Kropholler-built churches. This article additionally reflects on Kropholler's place in Dutch modern architecture. "The architecture of the last ten years in the Netherlands...... gives...a flat plateau of mediocrity with several peaks above it: the Berlage summit, the Staal summit, the Mont-de Klerk, the Kramer peak, the Van Doesburg glacier etc. ...... I would now like to point out in it the Kropholler valley. Is the valley now of less interest than the mountaintop? And does it "contain" less? There is a contrast between the two, a contrast in geography. I believe that it is precisely this contradiction of nature that indicates Kropholler's place, among the most important architects of today.". This article goes on to criticize the chancel. According to Mieras, the semicircular, or multi-sided is the most suitable, according to Kropholler, for modern church construction and the requirements associated with it, the square is the most suitable.
