I Love Precision (20)

The Bergpolderflat was the first gallery flat in the Nederlands build in 1933 / 1934. Architect is Willem van Tijen together with Brinkman en van der Vlugt. The construction method in steel was part of their prefabrication concept which should seduce developers to invest in public housing. See also (Architectenweb). It's still a miraculous building. Surrounded by the traditional urban planning of architect M.J. Granpré Molierè it is standing inside a courtyard in stead of around a courtyard. See Bergpolder, Rotterdam [map link]
