Cordiner's prewar work closely paralleled the contemporary architectural tendency of Modernity tempered by Traditionalist classicism, that became widespread in public builings of the Netherlands during the late 1930s and '40s. Here - as the postwar Linn Crematorium - the basic grouping is symmetrical, its brick and concrete simplicity offset by geometrical flourishes. (Fig. 4.57).
