Van Nellefabriek Rotterdam - World Heritage of a World Port

The iconic Van Nelle factory is inextricably linked to Rotterdam’s bustling harbour and shipping industry. Considered a modernist masterpiece, the UNESCO-listed building was originally constructed for the processing and packaging of coffee, tea, and tobacco. Following careful redevelopment, the factory is now home to the creative industry and is also opened to the public as an events venue. Authored by Marieke Kuipers, an international expert in the field of 20th-century architectural heritage, this volume offers a clear and detailed explanation of the Van Nelle factory and its origin and design, and acts as a testament to the poetic beauty of steel and glass.
