Behind the wave-shaped facade of the famous working-class housing complex De Dageraad, you will find information about the art and architecture of the Amsterdam School. At the beginning of the last century, H.P. Berlage designed the now famous Plan Zuid. He introduced a new way of urban planning, in which there was room for wide streets, atmospheric squares and green parks. The characteristic architecture of the many Amsterdam School artists still adorns the street plan. The expressionistic facades and beautiful ornaments are recognizable throughout the neighborhood. Residential complex De Dageraad is the Amsterdam School in its purest form. Architects Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer were commissioned to design all facets of the streetscape. In addition to the street facades, they also designed the rear facades and floor plans. This led to a form of total art in which beauty was central. Museum De Dageraad is the starting point for many walks and cycling tours in the neighbourhood.

I visited De Dageraad, the day after my visit to the Het Schip museum. This is another brilliant example of Amsterdam School architectural style. I joined the 3pm English tour which was expertly led by my two guides, who were happy to answer questions and gave a very informative tour of the social housing scheme. The 30 minute video also gives an overview of the timeline to the Amsterdam School architectural style. Highly recommended.
