Hendrik Petrus
Berlage
Hendrik Petrus Berlage (1856–1934) was a Dutch architect and urban planner considered the father of modern architecture in the Netherlands. He studied at ETH Zurich and was influenced by Neo-Romanesque styles and American architects like Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. His most famous work, the Beurs van Berlage (Amsterdam Stock Exchange), is notable for its honest use of materials and structural elements. Berlage's designs and city planning projects, such as Plan Zuid in Amsterdam, greatly impacted Dutch architecture, bridging the gap between traditionalism and modernism.
