Located in the Amsterdam Zuid neighborhood, the Dageraad Complex serves as a prime example of the Amsterdam School of architecture, this building dates back to the first part of the 20th century. 

In addition to information about Plan Zuid, the museum showcases the history of this expressionist residential complex and its architects. On the guided tour around the building, you can learn about the stylistic features of the building and the social ideals of the Amsterdam School movement.

At the beginning of the last century, H.P. Berlage designed the now-famous Plan Zuid. He introduced a new way of urban planning, in which there was room for wide streets, atmospheric squares, and green parks.

The characteristic architecture of the many Amsterdam School artists still adorns the street plan. The expressionistic facades and ornaments are recognizable throughout the neighborhood.

The De Dageraad complex is the Amsterdam School in its purest form. Architects Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer were commissioned to design all facets of the streetscape as well as the rear facades and floor plans. This led to a form of total art in which beauty was central.
