Title:

Competition Design for the Amsterdam Town Hall, Amsterdam, Netherlands (1936-1937)

Date:

1936-1937

Level of archival description:
project

Extent and medium:

6 photographs

Scope and content:
The competition for the design of the new Amsterdam Town Hall was held in 1936 and overseen by several jurists. Oud's submission was disappointing as his entry was criticized by a fellow jurist and he was not among the four finalist who were selected to modify their plans. Oud's entry in 1937 featured a court surrounded by three office wings, another office wing for the council chamber and a formal main entrance, as well as a tower in the courtyard (Taverne et al. 2001, 409-410). Project series includes photographs of plans for Oud's competition entry for the Amsterdam Town Hall.
