Herman Ambrosius Jan Baanders belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Herman Ambrosius Jan Baanders as Dutch architect (1876–1953).
Herman Ambrosius Jan Baanders was born at Amsterdam in 1876. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect and textile artist.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Kingdom of the Netherlands shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Herman Ambrosius Jan Baanders died in 1953, aged 77. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
