Ad van der Steur

Like other architects in Dutch municipal and government service of that era, Van der Steur designed his buildings in the 1920s in a style similar to that of Willem Marinus Dudok and the Amsterdam School.

In the early part of this period, he designed mainly schools, such as the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt HBS (1925).

In 1941 van der Steur, together with W.A.C.Herman de Groot and K.I.Ruige, founded his own architect company.

He also designed the main office of IJsselmij in Zwolle (1939 - 1946); an office building for an insurance company (1951 - 1953), today the residence of the Yugoslavia Tribunaleight railway stations (1929); and one of the faculty buildings of his old school the Polytechnic University Delft (1953).

[1] Van der Steur was born into a family of architects, whose members sometimes are confused in relevant literature.
