Description:
The Grebbeberg National Army Memorial was designed as a commemoration to the soldiers who lost their lives in the battle at Grebbeberg in 1940 during the Second World War. During the German occupation, the mayor of Rhenen Bosch van Rosenthal, organized a secret collection of bronze cents and used part of this collection to fund the memorial. The Grebbeberg National Army Memorial Foundation commissioned Oud for its design in 1947. The bronze coins were also melted down to create the bell for the monument that was completed by Dutch foundries in 1953. The war memorial project resulted in modification of the Grebbeberg cemetery and the design of a new monument. Oud designed a monument with a central cross flanked by two stone lions on an inscribed pedestal. At the other end of the memorial, segmented walls surrounded a raised amphitheatre for speeches and commemorations. The centre held the tower and the bronze bell. Modification of the cemetery began in 1949. Construction for the memorial started in 1952 and its official dedication was held in May 1953 (Taverne et al. 2001, 453-456). Project series includes plans and sections for the bell tower and monument.

Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.

Description:
Vredenburg Square – originally designed by H.P. Berlage in 1919 – had become problematic for traffic congestion; the problem was compounded by the erection of the Jaarbeurs Exhibition Complex. Utrecht city council commissioned Oud to design a square with architect C. Wegener Sleeswijk. Oud modified Sleeswijk's original expansion plan to create a design for a twelve-storey tower block that would take up less space and open up the southeast side of the square. In addition to the Jaarbeurs tower, Oud suggested placing more emphasis on the square's entrance. Oud also modified the traffic routes and created a semi-circular facade across from a secretariat. Although the city council approved Oud's plan in 1951, his design was unrealized as the council ultimately commissioned another architectural firm's design (Taverne et al. 2001, 472-473). Project series includes plans for the Vredenburg development.

Description:
The mediaeval Sint Laurenskerk was damaged in the May 1940 bombardment of Rotterdam. At the time, Oud sat on a committee that was dedicated to the preservation of historic buildings. His fellow committee members included A. van der Steur and J.C. Meischke, who proposed a design for the restoration of Sint Laurenskerk in 1948. Because of the high costs involved, Oud was opposed to the restoration effort; he instead proposed restoring the church tower and creating a different nave building with a green space in between the two. Although his plans met with some positive reviews, a modified restoration plan by Van der Steur and Meischke was ultimately implemented (Taverne et al. 2001, 453-456). Project series contains one plan by Oud.

The first floor contained a caretaker's flat and the upper floor consisted of storerooms. The front and rear facades featured full height pilasters and eight aluminium windows (Taverne et al. 2001, 490).

Oud was commissioned to design the Tweede Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. Oud designed the school within the larger parameters of the Reconstruction Plan for Sportlaan; he presented his design to the board in 1950. Oud's design aligned with reconstruction plans, except that he designed a four- rather than a three-storey building. Oud's layout featured three blocks: one for classrooms and an auditorium, another for classrooms, and the last one for a gymnasium – this building connected to the main wing by circular stairs. Each of the three separate blocks was surrounded by a playground. The street side facades were closed in contrast to the open facades facing the playground. Oud's design also featured visual art and sculptures (Taverne et al. 2001, 533-535). Project series includes plans and photographs of facades and aerial views. , 12 drawings 11 photographs

Project E was created according to the competition rules, while Motto E represented Oud's favoured design. Project E featured a carillon at the midway point of the tower; in Motto E, Oud instead placed the carillon at the top of the tower with the middle section as office space.

The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.

Description:
The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.

Description:
Oud was one of a number of architects invited to enter the competition for the new offices of the Province of South Holland, a complex due to replace the bombed headquarters on Korte Voorhout. The design for the new site – located on the grounds of a former zoo – was required to conform to the reconstruction plan of the architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok. Oud designed a four-storey building that conformed to building requirement and located the buildings at the southwest corner of the site to accommodate the existing zoo. The governor's residence was also designed, and another two office wings were placed at right angles to the main concentration of buildings. Ultimately, to Oud's great disappointment, the jury selected a design by Peutz for its complex (Taverne et al. 2001, 453-456). Project series includes photographs of perspective drawings and of a model.
