  • In 1856 alderman for Public Works Isaäc Warnsinck (1811-1857) reorganized the municipal building company of Amsterdam, the Stadsfabriekambt. He appointed three principal officials according to their expertise: the city engineer, the city architect and the managing director of Public Works.

  • At the end of the nineteenth century the term revolutiebouw (jerry-building) had become generally accepted for anything that was not sound. Revolutiebouw – quick, cheap and insolid housebuilding – started more or less simultaneously in the rapidly growing Dutch cities.

Within a sober aesthetic framework Lambrechtsen provided solutions to a wide range of technical problems related to the practice of the...

Although it was not until 1660, during its second period of habitation, that Elswout became renowned for its history as well as its striking Dutch classicist architecture, attributed to Jacob van Campen, the manor dates from 1633-1635.

    This article deals with the overlooked first period (1633-1654) of Moulin’s Manor, as it was known then, and with the founder Carl du Moulin (1586/1588 to approximately 1667), a...
