    De Stijl was an art movement founded in the Netherlands in 1917 that sought to express universal concepts through abstraction, simplification, and a dynamic balance of rectangles, planes, and primary colors. Key figures included Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, and Gerrit Rietveld. They aimed to create a new visual language for architecture using flat planes, cubes, and primary colors. De Stijl's emphasis on geometry and simplicity had influence on fields like architecture, design, fashion and technology.

    De Stijl
    De Stijl, or The Style, is an art and
    design movement founded in Holland
    by painters and architects around
    1917.
    The movement strives to express
    universal concepts through
    elimination, reduction, abstraction,
    simplification, and a dynamic
    asymmetrical balance of
    rectangles, planes, verticals,
    horizontals, the primary colours,
    and black, white, and gray.

    Definition

    De Stijl

    The De Stijl also known as


    neoplasticism, was one of several
    art and design movements that
    responded to the chaotic trauma
    of World War I with a return to
    order.
    De Stijl stands out because its
    aspirations were as social as they
    were aesthetic.

    Definition

    De Stijl

    Designers formulate a new


    language and vocabulary for
    architecture.
    To do this, they take the
    traditional house apart, analyze it
    like an object, abstract it to
    eliminate traditional references,
    and then reassemble it in a new
    way.
    The new form emphasizes the
    cube. It is not a solid box, but
    instead opens up from outside to
    inside with solid and void
    relationships established through
    flat planes.

    Definition

    De Stijl
    Flat roof, asymmetry, geometric
    forms, white or gray walls with
    details highlighted by primary
    colors.
    Houses for individuals are the
    most important.
    Compositions generally
    emphasize the separation of
    planes, the application of primary
    colours, and the spatial
    relationship of solids to voids.

    Architectural characteristics

    De Stijl
    Rectangular shapes define the
    geometric repetition of windows,
    doors, and blocks of color.
    Window sizes vary on an
    individual building from large to
    small. They may be arranged in
    patterns or one unit on a large wall.
    Flat roofs are typical, and
    distinctly different from other
    structures.

    The fact of simplifying things to pure abstraction of
    little squares is such a power full idea that even the
    newest things of our days uses it as a main reference.
