6 photo: Naomi Schiphorst photo: Bjorn Utpott Minnaert Leuvenlaan CE Utrecht All circulation space of this central university building has been concentrated in one big hall on the "piano nobile" of the building It constitutes the communal gathering place and living room for all staff and students in this part of the campus and gives access to the restaurant, the study centre and the laboratories In the middle the hall has a large pond of 10 x 50 metres that collects the rainwater and is used as a cooling device for the building This hall is actually outside The facade of the building is clad with undulating sprayed concrete of pigmented red earth color The Minnaert Building is part of the Faculties of Geosciences, Physiscs and Astronomy Hence the brown earthy colors on the outside, and the cave-like feeling that arouses in the central hall Profdr Marcel Gilles Jozef Minnaert (Brugge, 1893) was astronomic and chemo-physicist photo: Bjorn Utpott m² Interior architect, Contractor Structural engineer Neutelings Riedijk MI_MOA JP van Eesteren ABT Universiteit van Utrecht To get to and around the University campus, you can take bus city lines number 11 and 12 from Utrecht Central Station 6

8 photo: Bjorn Utpott photo: Lilian Visser Sport College Leidsche Rijn Maartvlinder DA Utrecht Utrecht Situated in the Leidsche Rijn, a newly built housing district within the periphery of Utrecht, the Sports Campus aims to contribute a public and rather iconographic aspect to the predominantly low-rise area, lacking points of recognition Two schools, divided up into four wings, stretched out onto the boundaries of the terrain, are organized around a centrally positioned volume containing the shared facilities The campus facilitates, next to an educational program, a gymnasium, vocational school, in and outdoor sports facilities and a cultural centre The structure and concrete walls are mostly left raw, to create a rough interior and to sustain the adolescent behavior of its users, and also meets the limited budgets Young sports talents are able to combine school with intense training Approaching the campus complex, one notices a subtle movement in the shiny black panels, in which a constant graduated relief has been cast, offering subtle tactile qualities on the exterior facade photo: Bjorn Utpott Project is not public! m² Supplier Wiel Arets s Lensvelt Sport College LR + VN Leidsche Rijn Bjorn_Utpott please contact the school first, before visiting the building From Utrecht Central Station: Bus 28 with direction Vleuterweide, stop at Korianderstraat, next to the school (11 min) Bicycle: from Utrecht through Verlengde Vleutenseweg to Vleuten Directly west of the Vleutensebrug, cross the trafficlights You are now on the new main road to Leidsche Rijn Take the first street on the left to Parkwijk/Langerak Go strait on, pass the pavilion by Stanley Brown, and you ll see the black school on your right 8

10 Cafe De Unie Mauritsweg JT Rotterdam During the bombing of the city centre of Rotterdam on the 14th of May 1940 in World War II, the original building by JJP Oud was destroyed It stood at the Coolsingel In 1986 the façade was reproduced by architect Carel Weeber at the Mauritsweg, in a part of Rotterdam that was spared from the bombs The design is a perfect example of the Dutch artistic moment De Stijl with its use of primary colours and simple abstract composition of vertical and horizontal directions Next to the Rietveld-Schröderhuis in Utrecht it is a very clear cut completion of the ideals of the movement The ground floor houses a bar and restaurant In the back is a small theatre 1925 JJP Oud De Unie NGHM photo: Rob Niemantsverdriet About 5 minutes walking from central station Leave the train station and walk straight on, in the Mauritsweg It is halfway on the left 10

16 photo: Ernst Moritz photo: Dirk Verwoerd Rietveld Schröderhuis Prins Hendriklaan Utrecht A visit to the Rietveld Schröder House remains a fascinating experience This house is the only building ever realized on the basis of the architectural principles of De Stijl Typical features are the use of the Stijl colours red, blue and yellow, in combination with white, grey and black, the relation between interior and exterior and the unity between the free-standing pieces of furniture and the fitted parts of the interior According to Rietveld and Schröder one had to have an active attitude to life For them too living in a home is a conscious act The furnishing of the house reflects this conviction The occupant has to perform a transaction for every activity: the bathroom is created by opening out a wall, while the sleeping areas could be screened off with sliding walls, and privacy was obtained by placing shutters in front of the windows The house is literally a machine for living in photo: Jannes Linders 1924 Gerrit Rietveld Truus Schröder MI_MOA On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can visit the Rietveld Schröderhuis The house can only be visited with a tour of max 10 people You can reserve a place in the tour by sending an to rhreserveringen[at]centraalmuseumnl There is a special Rietveld bus that leaves from the Centraal Museum at 1145, 1245, 1345 and 1445 hr It takes you to all Rietveld-designs and back to the Centraal Museum (address: Nicolaaskerkhof 10, Utrecht) 16

17 photo: Ernst Moritz photo: Ernst Moritz Erasmuslaan Erasmuslaan AZ Utrecht After the Rietveld-Schröder-House Rietveld designed a row of 4 mansions on the Erasmuslaan in Utrecht in 1931 This block is on the far side of the ring road The contrast is enormous: with their large quantities of glass, white stucco and steel shutters, these houses complied totally with the aesthetic ideal of the Nieuwe Bouwen movement, the Dutch functionalist architecture of the 1930s The brilliant colours of the Stijl period have vanished completely Number 9 was designed in October 1931 by Gerrit Rietveld and Truus Schröder as a model home On this occasion Rietveld presented a number of furniture designs from previous years He hoped that, given sufficient interest, the firm of Metz & Co would produce these pieces of furniture in series This however only occurred with the tube-framed chairs Erasmuslaan 9 was purchased in 1999 and restored by the Hendrick de Keyser Society The Centraal Museum has reconstructed the original model interior and opened the premises to the public photo: Dirk Verwoerd 1931 Gerrit Rietveld Truus Schröder MI_MOA You may visit the Rietveld Schröder House and the Model Home on the Erasmuslaan 9 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Reservations are strongly recommended Make a reservation by ing to rhreserveringen[at]centraalmuseumnl See also wwwcentraalmuseumnl The Centraal Museum takes care of the transport in a luxury 'Rietveld route' shuttle bus This bus leaves the Centraal Museum at fixed times: 1145 am, 1245 pm, 145 pm and 245 pm It takes you to all Rietveld-designs and back to the Centraal Museum (address: Nicolaaskerkhof 10, Utrecht) 17
