Van Nelle Factory

The former Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, is considered a prime example of the International Style and Russian Constructivism emerged in the 1920s and 1930s. It has been a designated World Heritage Site since 2014. Soon after it was built, prominent architects as Le Corbusier described the factory as "the most beautiful spectacle of the modern age".
 
The buildings were designed by architect Leendert van der Vlugt from the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt office in cooperation with civil engineer J.G. Wiebenga, at that time a specialist for constructions in reinforced concrete, and built between 1925 and 1931. It is an example of the Dutch ‘Nieuwe Bouwen’ modern architecture.
It is claimed that the building featured the first industrially prefabricated curtain wall in the world.
 
In the 20th century it was a factory, processing coffee, tea and tobacco and later on additional chewing gum, cigarettes, instant pudding and rice. The operation stopped in 1996. Currently it houses a wide variety of new media and design companies and is known as the Van Nelle Design Factory ("Van Nelle Ontwerpfabriek" in Dutch). Some of the areas are used for meetings, conventions and events.
In 2015, the Van Nelle Factory topped the list of The 25 Most Beautiful Factories in the World.
