Traditionalism in the Netherlands emerged shortly after the First World War. It was not so much a style as more of an attitude among architects who, in response to Functionalism and the Expressionism of the Amsterdam School, rediscovered the purity and simplicity of traditional country architecture. Under the leadership of M.J. Granpré Molière, professor at the Technical University in Delft from 1924 until 1953, many of these architects gathered in a movement which after World War Two became known as the Delftse School (‘Delft School’). Granpré Molière’s ideas include a preference for tidy brickwork, a minimal use of decorations, the inspiration taken from national architectural traditions and the use of ‘honest’ (i.e. traditional and natural) materials.
