Biography
Biography
After attaining his mts-diploma, Warner undertook his Hbo in Amsterdam, between 1936 and 1943. Three years later he did a one-year course at the Academy of Stockholm. At the same time as starting with his Hbo, he worked as a draughtsman in his father's architectural firm. He would take over the firm after his father's death in 1952. Two of Warner's most renowned buildings are the large and small 'Paintbox' (nl: Verfdos); two residential buildings in the Slotermeer area of Amsterdam. At the time of their opening in 1956, the buildings created much interest nationally and internationally; more than 10,000 visitors came to see the buildings. Roeskestraat in Amsterdam-Zuid A year later, four comparable buildings were built in Amsterdam-Zuid, with garages (instead of shops) on the ground floor. The buildings (named Warnersblokken after their architect) are now designated national monuments in the Netherlands.
