Tobia Boeyinga was born
in 1886 in Noord-Scharwoude as the son of a reformed ('Gereformeerd')
minister. Originally his name was spelled Boeijinga. After having
worked as a carpenter he moved to Amsterdam in 1909 where he studied to
become an architect. During this period he worked as an overseer for
the offices of Eduard Cuypers, Charles Estourgie and Michel de Klerk.
He graduated in 1919 with a design for a new parliamentary building. In
1921 he became an architect for the Amsterdam municipality; in this
function he became involved in several large housing projects. This
rather anonymous way of working didn't satisfy him, and after having
participated in several competitions he left his function in 1926 to
become an independent architect. |
