Piet Kramer

Piet Kramer

Pieter Lodewijk Kramer (1881-1961) was a Dutch architect, one of the most important architects of the Amsterdam School (Expressionist architecture).

Kramer collaborated with his friend Michel de Klerk in the architectural practice of Eduard Cuypers. In 1911 he collaborated in the design of the "Scheepvaarthuis" (Shipping House), with Johan van der Mey and Michel de Klerk. Kramer also collaborated with de Klerk on the "P.L. Takstraat/Burgemeester Tellegenstraat" complex. Its corner portion is very striking — like the turrets De Klerk incorporated in his "Hemburgstraat" building, it is purely decorative and not functional.

From 1917 to 1952 Kramer was architect at the department for bridges at the Amsterdam "Gemeentelijke Dienst Publieke Werken" (municipal public works department). In total Kramer designed approximately four hundred bridges, of which around one hundred were for the "Amsterdamse Bos" park. For these bridges he also frequently designed the associated bridge houses, the ironwork and even the landscape plans. The sculptural work was generally done by Hildo Krop.

Outside Amsterdam Kramer designed, amongst other works, The "Bijenkorf" department store in The Hague and three villas in "Park Meerwijk" in Bergen.
