On the waves of the city

On the waves of the city

This bicycle and walking route will introduce you to many highlights of Amsterdam School architecture, showing why this artistic and architectural movement has won international acclaim.

In the early twentieth century, the inspired architects and artists of the Amsterdam School transformed their city into a place of enchantment. In cooperation with idealistic city leaders, wealthy developers, and visionary housing associations, they adorned Amsterdam with magnificent

buildings and works of art. The working-class palaces that they created made Amsterdam the ‘Mecca of public housing’.
