"Van Nellefabriek was designed and built in the 1920s on the banks of a
canal in the Spaanse Polder industrial zone north-west of Rotterdam. The
site is one of the icons of 20th-century industrial architecture,
comprising a complex of factories, with façades consisting essentially
of steel and glass, making large-scale use of the curtain wall
principle. It was conceived as an ‘ideal factory’, open to the outside
world, whose interior working spaces evolved according to need, and in
which daylight was used to provide pleasant working conditions. It
embodies the new kind of factory that became a symbol of the modernist
and functionalist culture of the inter-war period and bears witness to
the long commercial and industrial history of the Netherlands in the
field of importation and processing of food products from tropical
countries, and their industrial processing for marketing in Europe." -http://whc.unesco.org
