Manifestatie

In retrospect Delft’s Faculty of Architecture of the 1930s is perceived as a dark and introvert period of time when the conservatism of the Delftse School movement inhibited the progressive thinking of earlier years. However, the circumstances are more nuanced; at that time an enthusiastic group of students, who later became known as De Groep (The Group), instigated and provoked discussion about the state of architecture. As well as Granpré Moliere – later considered the leader of the Delftse School – other key figures of ‘new architecture’ also took part, such as; Gropius, Breuer, Le Corbusier, Lurçat, Duiker, Rietveld, Oud and Van Eesteren.
