The movement strives to express universal concepts through elimination, reduction, abstraction, simplification, and a dynamic asymmetrical balance of rectangles, planes, verticals, horizontals, the primary colors, and black, white, and gray.
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣɛrɪt ˈtoːmɑs ˈritfɛlt]; 24 June 1888 – 25 June 1964) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect. One of the principal members of the Dutch artistic movement called De Stijl, Rietveld is famous for his Red and Blue Chair and for the Rietveld Schröder House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The De Stijl movement was founded in the Netherlands in 1917 with the goal of expressing universal concepts through simplified geometric forms, primary colors, and an emphasis on horizontals and verticals. Key characteristics included flat roofs, asymmetric designs, white or gray walls accented with primary colors in rectangular shapes. Furniture was designed as an extension of the architecture, using straight lines, planes, and geometric shapes. Decorative elements were limited, as the architecture itself was considered a work of art.
De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that advocated for pure abstraction through geometric forms and limited primary colors. Key members included Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Gerrit Rietveld, and J.J.P. Oud. They sought to achieve spiritual harmony and order through compositions of horizontal and vertical black, white, and primary color planes. Rietveld's Schröder House from 1924 was the only building constructed fully according to De Stijl principles. De Stijl had a lasting influence on architecture through its emphasis on simplified forms and use of primary colors.

Gerrit Rietveld was a Dutch architect and furniture designer born in 1888. He was one of the founders of the De Stijl artistic movement in the early 20th century. Rietveld emphasized simplicity, primary colors, and inexpensive construction methods in his work. His most famous designs include the Red and Blue Chair from 1917 and the Zig-Zag Chair. Rietveld's most renowned building is the Schröder House built in 1924, which exemplified De Stijl principles through its use of flat roofs, geometric forms, and bold primary colors. The house is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Rietveld Schröder House was commissioned by Mrs. Truus Schröder-Schräder for herself and her three children. Architect Gerrit Rietveld designed the house without walls at her request, to create an open connection between the inside and outside. The ground floor contains a kitchen and bedrooms arranged around a central staircase, while the second floor is an open living area that Mrs. Schröder could partition using a system of sliding and revolving panels. The rectilinear design flows seamlessly from the exterior facades composed of planes and lines in varying colors to the interior spaces.

The document provides an overview of De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that advocated pure abstraction and simplicity using only primary colors, black, white, and straight horizontal and vertical lines. Key figures included Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld. The movement sought to remake society after WWI through a utopian vision of universal order in art. It emphasized form, construction and function, influencing later International Style architecture of the 1920s-30s. Mondrian's later works like Broadway Boogie-Woogie showed the influence of New York on his more energetic rhythmic style.

De Stijl was an art and design movement founded in Holland in 1917 that emphasized simplicity and abstraction through the use of vertical and horizontal lines and primary colors. The movement was based on the ideas in the journal De Stijl founded by Theo van Doesburg and included artists like Piet Mondrian. Architects in the movement aimed to simplify house designs using flat roofs, asymmetry, and geometric forms with walls in primary colors or white/gray. Furniture was also designed to complement the architectural style through straight lines and rectangular planes.
The document provides information about the Bauhaus school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919. It discusses the school's approach of integrating art, technology and craftsmanship. Buildings were simple, functional and industrial in style, using materials like steel, glass and concrete. Ornament was derived from the visual effects of materials. The goal was to create an aesthetic suited to the modern world by relating form, materials and function. Key figures discussed include founder Walter Gropius and designs like the Bauhaus school building in Dessau with its asymmetrical forms and use of glass. Furniture was designed to be simple, unornamented and functional.
The document provides information about Cubism in art and architecture. It describes how Cubism was developed by Picasso and Braque in the early 1900s as a revolutionary painting style that depicted objects from multiple viewpoints simultaneously on a two-dimensional surface. This influenced the development of Cubist architecture, which is characterized by geometric shapes, flat surfaces, and a rejection of traditional perspective. Examples of Cubist buildings discussed include the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut designed by Le Corbusier, Czech Cubist buildings in Prague, and the Centre Le Corbusier art museum in Zurich.
The Bauhaus school was a German art school operational from 1919-1933 that combined crafts and fine arts. It was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar and later relocated to Dessau and Berlin under his leadership and those of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The school emphasized simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship and had influence on modern architecture and design. Notable achievements included furniture, lighting, and other object designs that combined aesthetic appeal with industrial materials and mass production capabilities.
- The original Red and Blue Chair designed by Gerrit Rietvelt was made of unstained beech wood and was not painted until the early 1920s when he added bright primary colors at the suggestion of fellow De Stijl member Bart van der Leck.
- The chair is now housed in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it retains the red, blue, and yellow colors that were added around 1923.
- Rietvelt's chair design featured overlapping joints between three battens in the three orthogonal directions, known as Rietveld joints, which were a prominent feature of the iconic Red and Blue Chair.
Art Deco was an influential design style that emerged after World War I, characterized by geometric shapes, bold colors, and lavish ornamentation. It represented luxury, modernism, and faith in social and technological progress. Many buildings from the 1930s-1940s have an Art Deco exterior with symmetrical designs, distinctive windows and colors. Identifying characteristics of Art Deco architecture include rounded corners, horizontal banding, columns, glass blocks, and zigzag or stepped designs. Materials often included stucco, concrete, stone, and terra cotta. Windows were usually arranged in continuous horizontal bands. Prominent Art Deco buildings included the Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, and Radio City Music Hall.
Modern architecture emerged in the early 20th century in response to industrialization and new technologies. Architects rejected historical styles and ornamentation in favor of simple, clean designs using new materials like steel, glass, and concrete. Some key developments included the Arts and Crafts movement emphasizing craftsmanship, Art Nouveau's organic forms, and early modernist buildings using steel frames and large windows. Pioneers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe further developed the International Style characterized by geometric forms, lack of ornament, and expressing the structure.
Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modern architecture. It sought to reintroduce ornamentation, color, and references to historical styles. Key characteristics included drawing from multiple sources rather than pure forms, moving away from neutral colors, and taking elements from different styles and combining them in new ways. Notable postmodern architects included Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves.

Expressionism architecture final edidationYazid Hamoda
Expressionism architecture developed in early 20th century Europe as artists sought new ways to convey emotional and spiritual ideas through abstract and distorted forms. Key characteristics included biomorphic shapes inspired by nature, asymmetric designs, and use of new materials like concrete and glass. Prominent expressionist architects included Erich Mendelsohn, Fritz Höger, Peter Behrens, and Rudolf Steiner. Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower and Höger's Chilehaus used innovative brick designs to distort forms for emotional effect. Steiner's Goetheanums in Dornach fused architecture, sculpture, color and space to convey spiritual concepts of metamorphosis.
Expressionist architecture developed in early 20th century Europe in parallel with expressionist art movements. It sought to transform reality rather than imitate it through distorting forms for emotional effect. Notable expressionist architects included Erich Mendelsohn, Eero Saarinen, and Bruno Taut. Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower in Potsdam used organic, amorphous forms to symbolize Einsteinian concepts. Saarinen's TWA Terminal at JFK Airport sculpted dramatic curves to express the excitement of travel. Taut's Glass Pavilion at the 1914 Werkbund Exhibition in Cologne was one of the first buildings made entirely of glass, using it to provoke vivid human experiences.
Rem Koolhaas is a renowned Dutch architect known for his innovative and gravity-defying structures. After graduating from architecture school in 1972, he founded OMA, his architecture firm, which takes an experimental approach to design through research, model-making, and allowing creative freedom. Some of Koolhaas' most notable buildings include the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, Casa da Música in Porto, and Seattle Central Library, which showcase his bold visions for reinventing typologies through unique forms and spatial experiences.
Walter Gropius was a pioneering German architect and founder of the Bauhaus school. He helped develop modern architectural styles and principles such as simplified geometric forms, use of modern materials like steel and glass, and an emphasis on functionality. Some of his most notable designs included the Fagus Factory, the Bauhaus school complex, and the Gropius House. Gropius' designs featured open floor plans, flat or shed roofs, large windows, and an emphasis on form following function.
Deconstructivism is an architectural style characterized by fragmentation and contradictory shapes and structures. It was influenced by postmodernism and Russian constructivism. Notable deconstructivist architects like Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi designed buildings with irregular, overlapping forms that distort conventions of architecture. Their works featured experimental shapes and a controlled chaos that challenged expectations.
The Netherlands-based De Stijl movement embraced an abstract, pared-down aesthetic centered on basic visual elements such as geometric forms and primary colors.

De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement that advocated pure abstraction and universality using only basic forms, primary colors, and black and white. Key members included Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld. They sought to reflect spiritual harmony through rational order. While Mondrian's early work was realistic, he radically simplified his style over time using only horizontal and vertical lines. De Stijl proved influential internationally in various fields like architecture. Van Doesburg further developed the style in his Elementarism theory and Café Aubette interior design project.

De Stijl Movement of 1917's must watch.... for rich and full of inspiring imagination.... must bring the old principles to modern design coz they are so good.....
De Stijl was an art and design movement founded in the Netherlands in 1917 that sought to express universal concepts through simplification and abstraction using a limited color palette of primary colors, black, white, and grey. Designers formulated a new vocabulary for architecture by deconstructing traditional houses, abstracting them to remove historical references, and reconstructing them with an emphasis on open floor plans defined by relationships between solid and void cubic forms. Furniture and other decorative arts were considered as integral to architecture and interior design, also emphasizing structure, proportion, and balance between solids and voids.
De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that advocated for ultimate simplicity and abstraction in art through the use of horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors. The movement was centered around the journal of the same name published by Theo van Doesburg to propagate the group's theories. Key members included painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszar, and Bart van der Leck as well as architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, and J.J.P. Oud. De Stijl influenced architectural and design styles like the Bauhaus and International styles through its emphasis on clean lines and geometric forms.
De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that aimed to achieve harmony and order through simplifying compositions to horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors. Led by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, De Stijl sought to express a universal harmony through abstract art rather than represent reality. They published the journal De Stijl until 1931 to spread their Neo-Plasticist ideas of purity and truth through simplified geometric compositions featuring only primary colors and black and white.
De Stijl was an artistic movement founded in 1917 in Amsterdam that advocated for pure abstraction and simplicity in art and architecture. It was influenced by Dadaism and focused on compositions using only primary colors, black, and white arranged in vertical and horizontal planes. Key figures included Theo van Doesburg and Gerrit Rietveld, and the movement had an influence on Bauhaus style and international style architecture through its emphasis on functionality and geometric forms.
Works and influences of hendrik petrus berlage.pptx finalaashish gupta
Hendrik Petrus Berlage was a Dutch architect considered the father of modern architecture in the Netherlands. He trained in Zurich and traveled Europe, being influenced by Italian architecture. In 1889 he started his own practice in Amsterdam. Notable works include the Amsterdam Stock Exchange (1898-1903), known for its honest use of materials and clarity of construction. The Municipal Museum in The Hague uses a grid plan and repetition of forms to create balance. Berlage also designed churches and furniture, drawing on American architects like Sullivan and Wright. He emphasized balance, symmetry, and highlighting materials' natural properties over decoration.
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter who is considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is known for developing a non-representational form of abstract art called Neo-Plasticism that used only basic geometrical shapes and primary colors. Mondrian was a key founder of the De Stijl artistic movement in 1917 that aimed to create a new visual language using rectangles, lines, and primary colors. Throughout his career he gradually simplified his artistic style from realist landscapes to abstract geometric compositions. His later works in New York featured an energetic style inspired by jazz that became some of his most famous paintings like Broadway Boogie Woogie. Mondrian's minimalist yet groundbreaking
The De Stijl art movement originated in the Netherlands in 1917. It aimed to express universal concepts through simplification and abstraction using primary colors, black, white, and gray as well as horizontal and vertical lines. Designers formulated a new vocabulary for architecture by taking houses apart and reassembling them with an emphasis on cubes, flat planes, and the relationship between solids and voids. Furniture and interior design were conceived as one with the architecture, emphasizing straight lines, rectangles, and geometry. The Schroder House, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, exemplifies De Stijl principles with its asymmetrical design, primary colors, and separation of planes.
De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that consisted of artists and architects. The movement was centered around the journal of the same name published by Theo van Doesburg to propagate the group's theories of pure abstraction using only basic geometric forms, primary colors, and black and white. Key members included painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár, and Bart van der Leck and architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van’t Hoff, and J. J. P. Oud.

history of contemporary architecture - 14. Cubism + De Stijl.pptDania Abdel-aziz
Cubism had three key influences on architecture according to the document:
1. It rejected traditional techniques of perspective and modeling, instead emphasizing the two-dimensionality of the canvas.
2. Architects like Le Corbusier were influenced by Cubism's fracturing of objects into geometric forms and use of multiple perspectives.
3. Movements like De Stijl and Purism directly incorporated Cubist ideas like planar elements, primary colors, and intersecting geometric planes into architectural works.
Theo van Doesburg was a Dutch artist and architect born in 1883 who worked in several creative fields including painting, decoration, poetry, and art theory. He began working in post-impressionist and fauvist styles but was influenced by Piet Mondrian's geometric abstraction in 1915. In the 1920s, he promoted the De Stijl art movement in Germany and France, influencing modernist architects like Le Corbusier. Known for introducing the diagonal into his compositions, van Doesburg created paintings and architectural designs using simple geometric forms and primary colors.
The document provides an overview of the De Stijl art movement:
- De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement that advocated pure abstraction using only primary colors, black, and white with horizontal and vertical lines.
- It was founded in 1917 in the Netherlands by Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian. Other key members included Gerrit Rietveld.
- The movement was inspired by Neoplasticism and the idea that their art could help achieve social harmony through revealing universal truths.
- Key works included Mondrian's Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue and Rietveld's Red Blue Chair, which was one of the first designs to fully embrace De
The document provides information about the De Stijl art movement including its origins in the Netherlands in 1917 and key aspects of its style such as using primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and vertical and horizontal lines. It discusses important De Stijl artists like Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld. The document also includes research from books and websites about De Stijl and its influence as well as plans and work by an individual to create De Stijl-inspired posters promoting a museum exhibition.
Analyzing Art Work Made Easy! Designed For Young Art StudentsSusan Alleyne Forde
The document provides guidance for young art students on how to analyze and describe art works using key elements and principles of design. It encourages looking at line, color, shape, space, and texture to describe what is visually seen. It also advises considering principles such as balance, repetition, contrast, emphasis and unity to understand how the entire composition is arranged. The document uses Van Gogh's Starry Night as an example, describing how the elements and principles are demonstrated in the painting through the swirling sky, rolling hills, and placement of the large tree shape. Students are reminded to also discuss how the work makes them feel and to research the artist when analyzing a piece.
The document discusses two avant-garde architectural movements of the early 20th century: De Stijl and Russian Constructivism. De Stijl originated in the Netherlands with artists like Mondrian and architects like Gerrit Rietveld, featuring orthogonal lines and primary colors. It emphasized non-decorative, open structures with asymmetrical planar elements. Russian Constructivism emerged after World War I and the Russian Revolution, featuring completely abstract, geometric forms meant to carry universal meanings. Key figures included Tatlin, whose unbuilt "Monument to the Third International" was symbolic of the movement, and Melnikov, who designed the Russian pavilion for the 1925 Paris Exhibition.
Neo-Plasticism was an avant-garde art movement founded in the Netherlands in the early 20th century by Theo van Doesburg. It aimed to create pure forms and colors devoid of realism through the use of primary colors, straight lines, planes, and rectangles. Piet Mondrian was the most famous artist of the movement, moving from figurative to abstract paintings composed of black, white, gray, and primary color rectangles. The movement had an influence on Bauhaus and International Style architecture before ending when van Doesburg founded a new group called Abstraction-Creation in 1919.

elimination, reduction, abstraction, simplification, and a dynamic
asymmetrical balance of rectangles, planes, verticals, horizontals,
the primary colors, and black, white, and gray.
- Not to reflect reality but rather than to express harmony that they
believed was the law of universe.
- Paintings were never framed as they were believed to be intimate
part of the world.
- Their goal : the organic combination of architecture , sculpture
and painting in a lucid, elemental , unsentimental construction.

Timeline
4. Architectural Characteristic features :
1. Flat roof, asymmetry, geometric forms, white or gray
walls with details highlighted by primary colors.
2. Compositions generally emphasize the separation of
planes, the application of primary colors, and the spatial
relationship of solids to voids.
3. Rectangular shapes define the geometric repetition of
windows, doors, and blocks of color.
4. Window sizes vary on an individual building from large
to small. They may be arranged in patterns or one unit on a
large wall.
5. Flat roofs are typical, and distinctly different from other
structures.

Designers formulate a new language for architecture.
To do this they take a traditional house apart , analyze it like an
object , abstract it to eliminate traditional references and then
reassemble it in a new way.

6. Furniture:
● Furniture and decorative arts are conceived as one with the architecture and
● interior design. Designers similarly emphasize structure, construction, proportion, and the balance
between solid and void relationships.
● They carefully place individual parts to develop visual balance and harmony so that all parts are
appreciated alone as well as in context with the whole furniture piece.
● Chairs and tables are the most important conveyors of concepts.
● Furniture complements the architectonic character of an interior through its emphasis on straight
lines, rectangular planes, and geometric forms.

The fact of simplifying things into pure abstraction of little square in
such a powerful idea that even the newest things of our days uses it as a
main reference.
