Van den Broek and Bakema

The architectural firm Van den Broek and Bakema had its origins in the firm Michiel Brinkman (1873-1925), which was founded around 1910. Brinkman is best known as the designer of the famous Justus van Effen complex in Spangen near the Sparta stadium in Rotterdam (1922). When Michiel Brinkman died, Leendert van der Vlugt (1894-1936) was asked to succeed him, as Michiel Brinkman's son was still in Delft studying at the Technische Hogeschool for civil engineering. The firm was called Brinkman and Van der Vlugt from 1925 to 1936. Jan Brinkman (1902-1949) becomes the man in charge of relations and Van der Vlugt is the inspired designer of, among other things, the famous Van Nelle Factory (1925-1931), Sonneveld House (1932/1933) and the Feyenoord stadium "De Kuip"(1936). After the death of Van der Vlugt (1936), his work was continued by Jo van den Broek. By then Van den Broek had been working as an independent architect for ten years. The firm was called Brinkman and Van den Broek from 1936 to 1951. With Jan Brinkman, he realized a considerable series of projects especially in Rotterdam, including parts of the Rotterdam plan Blijdorp.
