Perpendicular planes
Was the working title of a monumental, much larger construction in concrete for
the Rotterdam Marconiplein. The concrete sculpture was called
perpendicular planes, homage
to van Doesburg and Oud. (The architect J. J. P. Oud collaborated with
the artist Theo van Doesburg of De Stijl in the nearby housing area Spangen. In 1919 Theo van
Doesburg made a color scheme for its architecture. This resulted in a conflict
between the architect and the artist. But the stained glass windows above the
front doors were executed.)
