De Stijl, a 20th-century Dutch art movement, is known for its use of a limited color palette and simple geometric shapes. In architecture, De Stijl principles are manifested in projects characterized by clean lines, open plans, and a focus on horizontal and vertical compositions. Prominent De Stijl architects include Gerrit Rietveld and Piet Mondrian.<\/p>\n

De Stijl architecture is characterized by its simplicity and lack of ornamentation. The buildings are generally rectangular in shape and have flat roofs. The façades are usually divided into horizontal bands of windows and brick or stone.<\/p>\n

What is De Stijl in architecture? <\/h2>\n

De Stijl, meaning ‘Style’ was a modern art movement developed in the Netherlands in the early twentieth century. Encompassing painting, architecture and design, de Stijl was founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesberg in 1917 based upon strict ideals of vertical and horizontal geometry. In a simplified form, de Stijl advocated reducing an image to its essentials – usually a combination of primary colors and black and white – which were then arranged in a grid. The style was extremely influential, particularly in the field of architecture, and helped pave the way for the development of Modernism.<\/p>\n
