Cornelis van Eesteren
Drawing
Cornelis van Eesteren was a Dutch architect and urban planner who pioneered modernist approaches to city design and public space in the early twentieth century. Working primarily in the Netherlands, he developed theoretical frameworks for rational urban organization that influenced postwar European planning practice. His designs emphasized functional clarity, geometric precision, and the integration of residential, commercial, and recreational zones at a systematic scale. Van Eesteren's legacy rests on both his built projects and his contribution to modernist planning doctrine.
