Project
CI005.S1.1927.PR1
Description:
The Kiefhoek housing scheme of 1925-1930 was initiated by the city of Rotterdam to provide affordable housing to working class residents. The Kiefhoek church of the Hersteld Apostolische Gemeente, or the New Apostolic Church, was intended as a communal space for residents of the Kiefhoek housing estate. Oud designed the church building, a verger's house and a green. The design includes a symmetrical orthogonal church hall and two blocks for the vestry and storage shed. Oud undertook the project without pay as he felt it was integral to the overall design of the complex. His original design consisted of a hippodrome-shaped building, which he later abandoned to create a unified dwelling, green and church (Taverne et al. 2001, 286-288). Project series includes drawings of plans for the Kiefhoek Church as well as photographs of the church's principle facade.

Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”.

This publication was translated in English under the title “Tower and Office: from Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice”. It was published as Buell Center / Columbia Books of Practice by MIT Press. Documenting the publication are proofs, illustrations, design development drawings, correspondence, reference and photographic materials.
