Berlage Lyceum, Educational Rijksmonument in Nieuwe Pijp, Netherlands
The Berlage Lyceum is a school building in Amsterdam built between 1919 and 1922, showcasing masterful examples of Amsterdam School architecture. The structure features multi-colored brickwork, curved rooflines, and decorative stone elements that define the style.
The school building emerged in the early 20th century when Amsterdam was modernizing its infrastructure and introducing new types of vocational institutions. Its creation during this period reflects how reform ideas shaped urban planning and architectural practice.
Stone figures on the facade display symbols of trade and industry that reflect early 20th-century values. These decorations show how much the school emphasized its connection to practical work and craftsmanship.
The building can be viewed from the street, where its architectural features are clearly visible. Visitors should explore the surrounding Nieuwe Pijp neighborhood, where several other Amsterdam School examples are located nearby.
The building is part of a larger complex named after a journalist who championed housing cooperatives for workers. This naming choice reflects how closely tied social reform movements were to school development in that era.
