Herman Hertzberger: From Amsterdam’s Town Hall Competition to “Centraal Beheer” Office Building
Abstract The project process that led to the materialization of “Centraal Beheer” Office Building, which should be considered as one of the masterpieces of Dutch Structuralism, started with the proposals for the competitions of the town halls of Valkenswaard and Amsterdam. The study and graphic comparison between the notes and sketches for the competitions of Valkenswaard and Amsterdam and the first “Centraal Beheer” drawings, will allow us to understand the evolution of Herman Hertzberger’s thinking in a certain historical period, which was characterized by the continuous disturbances and social demands, and how this evolution meant a change in his graphic representation.
