Built as part of
Amsterdam's "Plan West" development, this
church was commissioned by the Dutch Reform
Church. Its design reflects the
Amsterdam School movement which was
influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd
Wright. Were it to be located in the
UK, you might be tempted to attribute it to
Giles Gilbert Scott.
The Rijksmonument website
describes the building (awkwardly translated
here) as consisting of, "... cubic
staggered building volumes under an
assembly of flat roofs."
It features, " ... Masonry facades in
orange red and brown brick .... with a
decorative use of Bavarian granite. ...
Above the main entrance a text in metal
letters 'JERUSALEM CHURCH' above three
tall, narrow windows with triple brick
sloping bottom sill, masonry between
styles and short and squat bell tower
with jumps in the masonry and belfry."
The Wikipedia page about the church adds
that, "
The symmetry is
well reflected in this church.
Right and left
are identical. The Jerusalem
Church is north-south, while most
churches east-west oriented."
