The term "Expressionist architecture"
initially described the activities of the
German, Dutch, Austrian, Czech andDanish AVANT GARDE from 1910 until
ca. 1924. Subsequent redefinitions
extended the term backwards to 1905and also widened it to encompass the
rest of Europe.

Many expressionist architects fought in WorldWar I and their experiences, combined withthe political turmoil and social upheaval thatfollowed the German Revolution of 1919,resulted in a UTOPIAN OUTLOOK and aROMANTIC SOCIALIST AGENDA.
UTOPIA is an ideal community or societypossessing a perfect socio-politico-legalsystem.

Economic conditions severely limited thenumber of built commissions between 1914and the mid 1920s, resulting in many of themost important expressionist worksremaining as projects on paper, such asBRUNO TAUT'sAlpine
Architectureand HERMANNFINSTERLIN's Formspiels. Ephemeralexhibition buildings were numerous andhighly significant during this period.

By 1925 most of the leading architects ofExpressionism such as; BRUNO TAUT, ERICHMENDELSOHN, WALTER GROPIUS, MIESVAN DER ROHE and HANS POELZIG, alongwith other Expressionists in the visual arts,had turned toward the Neue
Sachlichkeit(NEW OBJECTIVITY) movement,a more practical and matter-of-fact approachwhich rejected the emotional agitation ofexpressionism.

The NEW OBJECTIVITY (Neue Sachlichkeit)art movement arose in direct opposition to
expressionism.
A few, notably HANS SCHAROUN,continuedto work in an expressionist idiom.

In 1933, after the Nazi seizure of power inGermany, expressionist art was outlawed
as DEGENERATE ART. Until the 1970sscholars commonly played down theinfluence of the expressionists on thelater International style, but this has been re-evaluated in recent years.

Van der Mey's major commission, the 1912cooperative-
commercial SCHEEPVAARTHUIS (ShippingHouse), is considered the starting point of themovement.

Van der Mey sought the assistance of his
former colleague-architects Michel deKlerk andPiet Kramer, and another architectnamed A.D.N. van Gendt was responsible forengineering the concrete structure.

The Scheepvaarthuis is the prototype forlater Amsterdam School work. The most
important examples are obviously foundin Amsterdam. The movement and itsfollowers played an important role inBerlage's overall plans for the expansion of
Amsterdam.

After De Klerk died in 1923 the style lost mostof its importance. The De Bijenkorf
department-store in the Hagueby PietKramer of 1926 is considered to be the lastexample of "classic" Amsterdam Schoolexpressionism. Moderate variants of the style
survived until the Second World War, forexample in Protestant church architecture.

The members of WENDIGEN lived andworked in AMSTERDAM. Their designs owed
much to the work of H.P. BERLAGE (1856-1934) and stressed THE HANDICRAFTPROCESS OF BUILDING, THE REVELATIONOF STRUCTURE, AND THE RESULTING
DETAIL.

His proposals for two-story walk-ups of brick,
with the street as the primary organizingelement, provided the environment forbuildings by such designers as PIET KRAMER(1881-1961) and MICHAEL DE KLERK (1884-

DE KLERK was perhaps themost talented and originalamong the DutchExpressionists. His projectfor the EIGEN HAARDhousing association (1921)is more plastic thanKramers work, its
silhouette more irregular,and its detailing morehighly textured.

Het Schip("The Ship") is an apartment building in theSpaarndammerbuurt districtof Amsterdam, built inthe architectural style of the AmsterdamSchoolof Expressionist architecture. It is the single
most important example of this style of architecture,using the Brick Expressionismversion. The building was designed by Michel de Klerk. The
building vaguely resembles the outlines of a ship. Itsappearance is very unconventional from all angles.
Designed in 1919, the building contains 102 homes forthe working class, a small meeting hall and a postoffice, which as of 2001 is the museum of theAmsterdam School.

German expressionism was more diversethan the Dutch, concerned with both FORMand UTOPIANISM. Central to much GermanExpressionist thinking was the writing ofPAUL SCHEERBART and his vision for a glassor crystalline architecture that would
somehow ameliorate the repressive opacityof modern culture.

In part a reaction against the directions beingpursued by the state-run DEUTSCHEWERKBUND, the counter-proposals of
German Expressionism appeareddramatically at the 1914 Werkbund Exhibtionin Cologne where HENRI VAN DE VELDEsWERKBUND THEATER explored the theme ofKUNSTWOLLEN, or the will to form, incontrast to the mechanistic type-formprecepts of mainstream Werkbund thinking.

Perhaps the most idiosyncratic of all builtGerman Expressionist work was theGOETHEANUM designed by an amateur,RUDOLF STEINER (1861-1925).
A philosopher, scholar and student of the occult,Steiner founded the Anthroposophical Society in1912 and set out to build a free high school for
spiritual science called GOETHEANUM, soconnecting his thinking to the writings ofGoethe.

There were in fact, two GOETHEANIUMS,both in Domach, the first built of wood in1913 and destroyed by fire at the end of 1922,and the second of concrete, which opened in1928. GOETHEANIUM I can be compared toVan de VeldesWERKBUND THEATER; it was
dominated by CURVILINEAR SHAPES, manythat seemed melted and deformed.

The EINSTEIN TOWER in Potsdam (1920-21)and the design for a HAT FACTORY inLuckenwalde (1921-23) by ERICHMENDELSOHN (1887-1953) offer yet anotherExpressionistic approach to architecture.

Art Deco was a movement in search of
newness for a new century. Its LINEAR
SYMMETRY was a distinct departurefrom the flowing asymmetrical organic
curves of its predecessor style ART
NOUVEAU.

Art deco's linear symmetry was a distinctdeparture from the flowing asymmetricalorganic curves of its predecessor style artnouveau; it embraced influences from many
different styles of the early twentieth century,including neoclassical,constructivism, cubism, modernismand futurism[5]and drew inspirationfrom ancient Egyptian and Aztec forms.
Although many design movements havepolitical or philosophical beginnings orintentions, art deco was purely decorative.[6]

The Miami Beach Art Deco District
The Art Deco District in Miami Beach contains the largest concentration of 1920s and 1930sresort architecture in the world.These vibrantly colored buildings represent an era when Miamiwas heavily promoted and developed as a "tropical playground." The Art Deco District was one ofthe earliest National Register listings to recognize the importance of the architecture of thisperiod
(continue reading: South Beach Art Deco Tours).
Architectural Styles
Vernacular Style: 1900-1930'sVernacular is not a style, but rather a common method of early construction in South Florida. Thematerials and forms encompassed wood frame and masonry construction. These materials andmethods were transferred from abroad with the Beach's early settlers. Through time, many ofthese structures were replaced.
Wood Frame construction was most evident in the earliest days of Ocean Beach and reflected asecluded resort-like character.

Mediterranean Revival Style: 1910's - 1930'sMediterranean Revival architecture was the "style of choice" for the first major boom period in Ocean Beach. It's connotation of Mediterraneanresort architecture, combining expressions of Italian, Moorish, North African and Southern Spanish themes, was found to be an appropriate andcommercially appealing image for the new Floridian seaside resort.
During the mid 1910s through the early 1930s the style was applied to hotels, apartment buildings, commercial structures, and even modestresidences. Its architectural vocabulary was characterized by stucco walls, low pitched terra cotta and historic Cuban tile roofs, arches, scrolled ortile capped parapet walls and articulated door surrounds, sometimes utilizing Spanish Baroque decorative motifs and Classical elements. Featuredetailing was occasionally executed in keystone.
Mediterranean Revival - Art Deco Transitional: 1920's - 1930's"Med-Deco" in Ocean Beach was a synthesis of Mediterranean Revival form and A Art Deco decorative detail. This unique hybrid style became a
fascinating bridge between the "familiar" and the "new" as the allure of Art Deco found its way into the Beach's architectural vocabulary. Cleanziggurat roof lines and crisp geometric detailing replaced scrolled parapets, bracketed cornices and Classical features on structures of clearMediterranean Revival form. Likewise, sloped barrel tile roofs rested gracefully on edifices with spectacular Art Deco entrances and facadetreatments.
Some of the most celebrated architects in Miami Beach designed structures in this brief-lived style, including V. H. Nellenbogen, Henry Hohauserand T. Hunter Henderson.The predominant exterior material of Med-Deco was smooth stucco with raised o r incised details. Featured stucco areas were often patterned orscored. Keystone, either natural or filled and colored, was frequently used to define special elements. Windows ranged from wood and steelcasement to wood double hung.

Art Deco Style: late 1920's - 1930'sArt Deco is considered one of the first twentieth century architectural styles in America to break with traditional revival forms. It emanated largely from the impact of the 1925 ParisExposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a design fair celebrating the reconciliation between the decorative arts and advancements in technology and industry.
Building forms in the Art Deco style were typically angular and clean, with stepped back facades, symmetrical or asymmetrical massing and strong vertical accenting. The preferreddecorative language included geometric patterns, abstracted natural forms, modern industrial symbols and ancient cultural motifs employing Mayan, Egyptian and IndigenousAmerican themes.
In Ocean Beach a unique form of Art Deco employed nautical themes as well as tropical floral and fauna motifs. Ocean liners, palm trees, and flamingos graced the exteriors andinteriors of the new local architecture. The favored materials for executing this distinctive "art" decor included bas-relief stucco, keystone, etched glass, a variety of metals, c astconcrete, patterned terrazzo, and others. Today this distinctive design vocabulary, which further incorporated glass block, vitrolite and stunning painted wall murals, has become thehallmark of Miami Beach's internationally recognized Art Deco gems.
Moderne Style - Streamline Moderne: 1930's-1940
As "Art Deco" evolved on the Beach in the 1930s modern transportation and industrial design began to have an even greater imp act upon new construction. The "streamlined"character of automobiles, airplanes, trains, buses, liners and even home appliances inspired powerful horizontal design compositions, accentuated by striking vertical features andpunctuated by icons of the technological era. Continuous "eyebrows", racing stripe banding, radio tower-like spires, portholes, and deck railings like those found on grand ocean liners,were among the unique features to set this architecture apart from anything before it. The creative incorporation of nautical themes showed this form of Art Deco to be true to itsorigins in Miami Beach.
Smooth, rounded corners often replaced sharp ones on Moderne buildings, especially on corner lots. "Eyebrows" swept around them as did other details. Street corners becameinviting architectural focal points, whether the special treatment employed was based upon curves or angles.
Post War Transitional Art Deco - Post War Deco: 1960Post War Deco drew significantly from the form and decorative vocabulary of both early Art Deco in Miami Beach and Moderne. Although single block massing was predominant theemphasis could be placed on either horizontal or vertical composition, dependent upon the size of the structure, the character of the site, and the will of the architect. Frequently,continuous us of eyebrows would be extended to form side or front canopies, either cantilevered or supported on their furthest edge by columns. New decorative materials wereintroduced which reflected changing tastes nationally, including brick, permastone, and cast architectural block in a variety of "open" patterns. Many of these delightful structures inOcean Beach paid wonderful tribute to their architectural origins while effectively addressing changing times.

Modernedesign is generally divided into two verydifferent phases: Art Deco (once referred to as Zig ZagModerne) of the 1920s, and Streamlined Moderne ofthe 1930s.
The first phase developed out of many sources, from the
verticality of Eliel Saarinen to the forms of the ParisExposition Internationale des Arts Dcoratifs etIndustriels Modernesof 1925. As a matter of fact, theterm Art Deco is actually an abbreviation derived fromthe words Arts Dcoratifs.
Art Deco is characterized by lavish decoration,extravagant colorism, and elaborate eclecticornamentation.

The second phase, Streamlined Moderne, was basedon a machine aesthetic. The term streamlinedcomes from aerodynamics to imply speed, efficiency,and functionalism. This style is characterized byreductive design, light smooth surfaces, rounded
edges, and sparing geometric decoration. Art Deco and Streamlined are not synonymous
termsthey are distinctly separate facets of the StyleModerne.
Ocean Drive is one of the most picturesque streets on
