Summary

A significant architectural feature of the Rietveld Schröder House is its innovative combination of construction materials. This study reveals that while the house's structure primarily relies on bricks, the second floor uniquely incorporates wood reinforced with steel and a balcony made of reinforced concrete slab. The roof of this level also uses steel, enabling the creation of a large open space. By analyzing drawing documents from the Rietveld Schröder Archive, researchers shed light on G. Th. Rietveld's construction methods, providing valuable insights into his architectural approach.
