Siegfried Nassuth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siegfried Nassuth (born 1922 in the Dutch East Indies) was a Dutch architect, best known as the architect of the Bijlmermeer (officially known as Amsterdam Zuidoost).
He attended the Delft University of Technology. After graduation Nassuth began working as an urban planner in the municipality of Amsterdam.
In 1962 Nassuth became projectmanager of a team which was planning the Bijlmermeer. When planning the Bijlmermeer, Nassuth was inspired by the CIAM, a prewar group of architects and town planners who stressed the importance of light, ventilation and space.
Nassuth remained involved in the planning of the Bijlmermeer until his retirement in 1981.
