The Amsterdam School was an architectural movement linked to expressionism that developed in the city of Amsterdam (Netherlands) between 1915 and 1930.[1]​.

This is a group of architects with common concerns, stylistically united with the German expressionist architects, with whom they shared a taste for exposed brick and an innovative and avant-garde design. Even so, they were opposed to the contemporary De Stijl movement and its use of new materials such as steel and glass.[1]​.

Their artistic style was largely influenced by the rationalism of Hendrik Petrus Berlage, whose sobriety, however, they rejected, and whose use of brick combined with concrete they mainly adopted.

Its main members were Michel de Klerk, Pieter Lodewijk Kramer and Johan van der Mey, who contributed greatly to the urban development of Amsterdam, with an organic style inspired by traditional Dutch architecture, in which undulating surfaces stood out. His main works were the Scheepvaarthuis (Van der Mey, 1911-1916) and the Eigen Haard Estate (De Klerk, 1913-1920).[1]​.
