ABOUT







J.L. Mathieu Lauweriks

Johannes Ludovicus Mathieu Lauweriks was a Dutch architect and designer, b. Roermond, 1864, d. Amsterdam, 1932. As a theorist and an artist, Lauweriks had great influence on early 20th-century movements such as the Amsterdam School, De Stijl and the Bauhaus. He was also a key propagator of proportion theory and system thinking. He taught at the School voor Kunst en Kunstnijverheid in Haarlem (1900-1904), the Kunstgewerbeschule in Düsseldorf (1904-1909) and the Staatliche Handfertigkeitskurs in hagen (1909-1916), where he was director. After returning to the Netherlands in 1916, he taught art and architecture at Voortgezet en Hooger Bouwkunst Onderricht in Amsterdam, from 1916 onwards. From 1918 until 1931, he was editor in chief of the art magazine Wendingen.

He created Quadratuuralfabet in 1900. That typeface was digitally revived and extended by Nick Sherman ca. 2019 as Lauweriks.
