A Son of the Rock

In The Netherlands it’s sometimes difficult to tell whether a building is Art Deco or an example of De Stijl, though De Stijl tends to be starker.

Anyway I found some buildings in Amsterdam which I thought were Deco.

Horizontals, verticals, rule of three in windows, canopy, rounded window column:-

The lower windows on this one have been knackered though:-

But its detailing is good. Note the figures in the columns between the lower windows:-

This tall one has lots of verticals and horizontals plus elaborate ironwork round the windows and great detailing on upper level and towards roof:-

Another tall one was the Station Rokin Building:-

Upper Level:-

Lower level:-
