Présentation du contenu:
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.
