National Monument

National Monument is a museum in Amsterdam that stands out for its design and context. It is associated with J.J.P. Oud, and the project reflects a considered approach to form, materials, and use. In practical terms, The National Monument on Dam Square is a 1956 cenotaph built in memory of World War II in 1945. Overall, John Rädecker was commissioned to design the monument, and his designs were exhibited in 1946 at the Stedelijk Museum.
