Today, I attended a symposium in the former Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam. This industrial monument is a nowadays a very inspiring environment for all kind of small creative companies, and houses a meeting and event centre as well. In the twentieth century it was a factory for processing coffee, tea and tobacco.
The buildings are built between 1925 and 1931, inspired by Russian constructivism. A perfect location for architectural photographers, especially when glass is the theme.
ODC - Theme (19-09-2012): Glass
The structure and style of this factory building was inspired by one in Portland, Oregon. The colors and surroundings do not represent to prototype.
I have received some factory rejects, probably from China. Many of them are in rough condition and look like they have been coloured with a red substance that seems to highlight edges.
I wonder what I am looking at here...
- Was the intention to highlight edges and flaws as part of quality control?
- Did a bottle of ink just happen to fall over these?
- Or was the intention to make the parts ugly and less suitable for resale...
Let me know in the comments if you know :-)
Hakodate factory is an old factory site which is completely renovated (but still has the feeling of old days). All the factory storages have shops inside. When you walk there it looks like you are somewhere on the old streets of some European city.

A proper chocolate factory.
"An important industry in the town is Cadbury's chocolate factory. The J.S. Fry and Sons business merged with Cadbury in 1919, and moved their factory in the centre of Bristol to Keynsham in 1935. As Quakers, the factory was built in a 228-acre greenfield site with social facilities, including playing fields and recreational sports grounds. Called Somerdale after a national competition in 1923, Keynsham Cadbury is the home of Fry's Chocolate Cream, the Double Decker, Dairy Milk and Mini Eggs, Cadbury's Fudge, Chomp and most importantly, the Crunchie. According to Cadbury employees (or 'Chocolate Welders' as they are locally known), the Crunchie Machine makes enough bars to stretch to the Moon and back every week".
mmmmmmmmmm.... Crunchie. *Gargling drool*
Overlooking a "man made' lake (highly polluted) an old factory seemingly deserted but very much in use 24 hours a day, belching out pollutants in the already dirty atmosphere.
This factory is one of many in and around the city that produces large quantities of domestic ceramics
This is a hundred year old sugar factory down the Mississippi. They roll the barges up, open the tops up and lower a big ol crane in and scoop it out!
One of the most advanced factories in the world, recently completed at Sheffield Business Park, features a stunning glazed façade using SGG COOL-LITE SKN 165 II. The £43 million Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) Factory 2050 is the UK’s first totally reconfigurable, digital factory, built to respond to an increasing requirement for advanced manufacturers to be able to make rapid changes to product design, as a result of ever-changing customer demands.
The 7000sqm building is constructed largely from glass, to showcase the advanced manufacturing technologies inside the facility. The SGG COOL-LITE SKN 165 II product was specified on the project due to the architect requiring a very specific combination of solar heat gain and light transmission in the glass façade to accompany the incredibly neutral aesthetic requirement.

Tolles Gebäude, though.
Here is my general workspace in my little robot factory. It has pretty much every supply you could possibly need for a robot!
Currently, Robot Redux, our 2012 gallery show is in production! I hope you enjoy this tour of our Robot Factory!
This is a generic factory based on the design that Albert Kahn produced in Detroit as the 20th century began. His fire-proof reinforced concrete frame buildings with large windows to let in plenty of natural light revolutionized industrial architecture. This Lego model buildng is about 19 inches long.

A manufacturing plant complex built in the International Modern style, consisting of rectangular
blocks with flat steel deck roofs, salmon and red brick, steel framed windows and cement sheet
cladding. There are entire curtain walls of concrete breeze blocks. There are lighting standards
with conical luminaries with dish caps. Signage is supported on a rolled hollow section steel
frame. The buildings are set within lawns with native planting at the entrance, a rock garden,
pool, and possible sculpture remnant.
The factory is centred on a 250-metre long main processing building flanked by various
storage and administration buildings. The whole complex demonstrates a unity of design in its
use of a low brick wall surmounted by corrugated cement sheeting or steel framed glazing.
Most south facing walls are completely glazed from the brick dado to the roof, while the north
facing walls and some south facing ones have a single strip of glazing along the top of the wall.
The brick dado is evidently designed to prevent damage to the fragile cement sheeting and so
is used only at the lower level. However, as a stylistic feature, this has also been employed in
the administrative buildings.
The production line is expressed by the long low main production building, with the tall milling
and mixing structure at the eastern end, where raw materials are prepared for processing, a
small tower housing the steam accumulator a short distance along, and the large storage and
dispatch buildings extending across the western end.
The administration block lies between the production building and Rowsley Station Road, with
a gatehouse and openwork, concrete block wing walls identifying the main entrance.
The brown coal and wood waste fired boiler is a prominent feature at the eastern end of the
site. This fully glazed wall to the north and south broken by strips of louvred venting and with a
probably accidental random checker pattern created by different coloured glass panes. The
steel chimney stands just south of the boiler house.
The elements that contribute to the significance of the site are those features constructed as
part of the original design (as shown in the representative design perspective from 1960) as
follows:
Gatehouse & Administration Block
Amenities Block
Boiler House
Bicycle Shed and Factory sign
Chipper House
Main Factory Building
Warehouse
Workshop and Store
Factory Supervision
The setting of the place including the boundary trees and rock garden at the front of the site
also contribute to its significance.
Comparative Analysis:
The style of the complex is derived from the Bauhaus influenced industrial or institutional
complexes generally in the United States, such as, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago,
Illinois (Mies van der Rohe 1939-1956) and General Motors Technical Institute, Warren,
Michigan (Eliel and Eero Saarinen 1946-55). Local comparisons include factories, such as,
ETA Foods, Ballarat Road, Braybrook (Frederick Romberg 1957-60), Australian Paper Mills,
Fairfield, General Motors, Dandenong and various oil refinery complexes. The survival of boiler
houses in factory complexes is rare, as are glazed curtain walls from this period.
Significance:
What is significant?
The CSR Mill designed by T. H. McConnell, which opened in 1960, located at 25 Rowsley
Station Road, Maddingley. The following elements contribute to the significance of the place:
• Gatehouse & Administration Block;
• Amenities Block;
• Boiler House;
• Bicycle Shed and Factory sign;
• Chipper House;
• Main Factory Building;
• Warehouse;
• Workshop and Store;
• Factory Supervision; and
• The setting of the place, including the boundary trees and rock garden at the front of the
site.
How is it significant?
The former CSR Mill, 25 Rowsley Station Road, Maddingley is of local historical and aesthetic
significance to the Shire of Moorabool.
Why is it significant?
The former CSR Mill, 25 Rowsley Station Road, Maddingley is of historical significance as the
embodiment of an industrial process and capital investment in a semi rural location. The
factory officially opened in 1961 by State Premier at the time Mr H. E. Bolte demonstrates the
decentralisation policies of the Liberal Government during the 1950s and 60s. The complex is
of historical significance for its associations with the development of employment and industry
in the former Bacchus Marsh Shire, which demonstrates the utilisation of valuable resources in
the area.
