Klerk, Michel de (1884–1923). Dutch architect and member of the
Amsterdam School, he is best known for his
Expressionist designs carried out in collaboration with Pieter Lodewijk
Kramer, notably the
Scheepvaarthuis (Navigation House), Amsterdam (with van der
Mey, 1911–16), and the De Dageraad Housing Estate, Amstellaan (1920–2). His Eigen Haard Housing Estate, Spaarndammerbuurt, Amsterdam West (1913–20), in which towers, turrets, different types of windows, and finely crafted brickwork suggested the richness of a medieval town, reflects the architect's aim to avoid barrack-like tenements for working-class Socialist housing.
