P.Mondrian is known and as one of organizers of group "Style" existing in the Netherlands in 1917 1931 and uniting except artists also architects-rationalists, setting as the purpose search of strict geometrically accurate composite decisions. The most known architects entering into this group, were P.Aud and G.Ritveld, made essential impact on the subsequent development of architecture not only in the Netherlands, but also abroad. The most appreciable embodiment of their idea have received in architectural shape of today's Rotterdam, differing unusual for us geometrically refined architectural forms both public, and residential buildings.
