Jacob Bakema
Jacob Berend Bakema (born March 3, 1914 in Groningen ; † February 20, 1981 in Rotterdam ) was a Dutch architect . Numerous large urban development projects in northern Germany and the Netherlands can be traced back to him and his office partner Johannes Hendrik van den Broek . He was a participant in the CIAM architecture congresses and a member of Team 10 , a group of architects that existed from 1953 to 1981.
Life
Bakema came from a humble background and studied at the technical school in Groningen , where he met his future wife, who studied art there and in whose parents' house Bakema came into contact with the ideas of Krishnamurti , van den Leuw and Leendert van der Vlugts . He then studied at the academy in Amsterdam , completed his studies in 1941 with a project with Mart Stam , and then worked for the local city planning department. After the Second World War he moved to the Rotterdam City Planning Department and took part in meetings of the CIAM . In 1948 he joined Michiel Brinkmann and Johannes Hendrik van den Broek's office , which he continued with van den Broek after Brinkmann's death in 1949. This office, founded around 1910, still exists today.
With his designs in residential construction, Bakema followed the Dutch building tradition of the early 1930s after the Second World War. As editor of the magazine Forum (1959–1963) he made a decisive contribution to the architectural discussion in the Netherlands . The basic idea of many of his residential construction projects is the growing house , which can be individually expanded based on a standardized house core created in series production.
In 1964 he became a professor at the Technical University of Delft and in 1965 in Hamburg.
