Influence On Architecture• The De Stijl influence on architecture remained

considerable long after 1931; Mies van der Rohe was among the most important proponents of its ideas. Between 1923 and 1924, Rietveld designed the Rietveld Schröder House , the only building to have been created completely according to De Stijl principles.

Conclusion• Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure

abstraction and universality by reducing design down to its essential form. They did this by using only straight lines and rectangular forms, and primary colours.
