Architecture
Michelangelostraat was developed between 1927 and 1939 with luxury residential complexes, primarily in the style of the late Amsterdam School and the Nieuwe Bouwen. Jacques Bot, the architect behind Michelangelostraat, combined his passion for architecture with a political career. Bot (Amsterdam, 1892) began his journey as a carpenter’s apprentice at the age of 12 and took evening classes at the secondary school for architecture. He established himself as an architect in 1921. Before World War II, he designed several housing complexes in the tradition of Art Deco and the Amsterdam School in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, and Utrecht. He also created stores for the chain Au Bon Marché. The building on Michelangelostraat has since been designated as a national monument.
On the corner with Gerrit van der Veenstraat, two tuff stone corner sculptures of Michelangelo were incorporated into the facades in 1928. The sculpture on Michelangelostraat 29 was created by Anton Rädecker, while the one on Michelangelostraat 27 was made by Jaap Kaas.
In the early 20th century, a group of architects emerged in response to rationalism, seeking a more artistic expression. This led to the expressionistic architectural style of the Amsterdam School, which emphasizes external form and imparts a solid, robust appearance. A characteristic feature of this style is the ladder windows: panes that are divided by numerous muntins.
