Cornelis Kruyswijk (1884–1935) was a Dutch architect, notable for his contributions to the Amsterdam School style.[1]

Biography

Born in Abcoude, the son of a carpenter contractor, Kruyswijk's early career involved work at his father's company while attending the Industrial School of the Society for the Working Class in Amsterdam.[2]

Kruyswijk's professional career included roles in Dordrecht, Leeuwarden, Maastricht, and Amsterdam, working with architects such as Bert Johan Ouëndag, Harry Elte, and Philip Anne Warners.[2] In 1919, he established his own practice in Amsterdam.[2]

His architectural work includes schools, housing complexes, and churches, all designed in the Amsterdam School style characterized by expressive brickwork, natural stone, and iron ornamentation.[2][3] In his work, he often did not distinguish itself significantly from his contemporaries, with the exception of specialized structures such as schools and churches.[2] Over a hundred of his designs, primarily in Amsterdam, are documented, including notable projects such as the Smallepadschool, JJ van Noortschool, and various residential and commercial buildings in Amsterdam South and West.[2]
