Van Nelle Tabacco Factory
Johannes Andreas Brinkman + Leendert Cornelius van der Vlugt
- Outline
- In the Dutch architectural world at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a trend toward functionalist architecture along with De Stijl and the Amsterdam School. The Functionalists rejected architecture as art or formalism, and aimed to create architecture that not only fulfilled requirements but also constructed a new lifestyle and culture for a new age. This work is a complex of a factory for the manufacture of cigarettes, tea, chocolate, etc., and an office building, with buildings divided according to the various functions of the production process. The glass conveyor installed diagonally from the curtain-wall packaging building to the warehouse embodies the immediate functionalism of the RC, beamless plate structure.
