Town hall Hilversum W.M. Dudok - H. van Bergeijk
KORTE INHOUD
The Hilversum town hall designed by WM Dudok is undoubtedly his most famous creation and belongs to the high points ofzoth century architecture. Following its recent restoration, the future of this monument is assured for a long time to come.
Dudok already began the design in 1915 though it was 1931 before the building was built. This book describes the design's fortunes and the struggle to have the building realised. The history of the design also reveals the dramatic changes in Dudok's work: from being an imitator Dudok developed into an international trendsetting architect. The book's many illustrations are ample evidence of this.
