Let there be Curtain-Walls Glass Steel and Reinforced Concrete



International appeal, style, cultural, historical value.  Built 1925-1931. The Van Nelle factory designed by architiects Leneert Van Der Vlught and Johannes Brinkman, Rotterdam, NL. Functionalism for the processing of tea, coffee, and tobacco. The factory can be seen arriving and departing Rotterdam by train. Did I just see an Oompa loompa? Models (architectural) stored next door! Special tours of the Van Nelle factory can be arranged through Van Nelle Ontwerpfabriek and tours of the models through the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI).
