The Architects of Plan Zuid

Join one of our expert guides for an in-depth themed walk through this stunning part of Amsterdam. Along the way, you'll encounter remarkable buildings by Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer, and learn about the pioneering work of Margaret Staal-Kropholler, the Netherlands’ first female architect.

From flowing facades to intricate ornaments, the Amsterdam School flourished for only a brief period, but its impact was profound. In Plan Zuid, beauty, space, and greenery were central values. You’ll see these ideals come to life in the wide streets, leafy courtyards, and sculpture-adorned bridges that define the area.

Explore the distinct styles and visions of architects such as Kruijswijk, Van Epen, Rutgers, and Westerman. Each contributed in their own way to a better, more humane urban landscape. This walk offers a deeper appreciation for the Amsterdam School’s legacy and the artists who helped shape it.

The walk starts at Museum De Dageraad and takes you through the Rivierenbuurt in approximately 2 hours, taking you past the highlights of this remarkable period in history.
