Amsterdamse School is a typical Amsterdam building style from the period from 1915 to 1940. The Amsterdam School movement had its roots in International Expressionist architecture, of which Antoni Gaudi - whose fabulously detailed buildings include the Casa Mila in Barcelona - is said to be the father. Amsterdam School buildings are characterized by their brick constructions often with a rounded appearance and decorative stone-work, stained glass, wrought ironwork, "ladder" windows (with horizontal bars) or spires. The movement’s aim was to create a total architectural experience, both in the interior and the exterior of the building.
Perhaps the best example of the Amsterdam School is de Klerk’s building, Het Schip, which also now serves as the museum for the movement. The Museum Het Schip offers regular guided tours around important buildings of the movement.
