HDR shot of the office buildings of the Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). The factory is one of the most important industrial monuments of The Netherlands. It was build between 1927 and 1929 by J.A. Brinkman en L.C. van der Vlugt and is an excellent example of Constructivist architecture. Cigarettes, thee and coffee were produced here.
It is a national monument and is nominated as UNESCO world heritage site. The factory was restored in 2000 and currently houses several companies, often design related.

Date: 1938-1939
Current location: Wolfsburg, Germany
Description of work: In 1930 Ferdinand Porsche founded an automobile design company named Porsche Buro and began developing a design for a small, two-door car. In 1933 Porsche met with Adolf Hitler, who was pushing for the production of a car that could carry five passengers, reach 62 mph, get 33 mpg, and cost 1000 Reichmarks. The design that would become the VW38 was developed from 1933-1939, and factory construction began in 1938. When the VW38 went into limited production, Hitler unilaterally changed its name to the "KdF Wagon", for "Kraft durch Freude" ("strength through joy"). Porsche, who was not a member of the Nazi party, greatly resented this use of his design for propagandistic purposes. Only a few thousand KdF prototypes were built, because as soon as World War II began in 1939 the factory converted to mass-produce the Type 82 "Kubelwagon, " an adapted KdF that was the German military's equivalent of the Jeep. The factory was heavily damaged by Allied bombing, and fell under British administration at the end of the war. The British Army brought it back online in 1945 and began producing cars for their own military use out of leftover parts still in inventory. The UK actively assisted in the factory's reconstruction and by 1946 it had produced over 10, 000 cars. The British renamed the company "Volkswagen" and the factory town "Wolfsburg" after a nearby castle. By 1949 factory control was returned to the West German government, and the VW Beetle became one of the new country's most successful export products and a major component of its economic recovery.

Here's a shot from inside the old packard factory in Detroit. This was an amazing location. It's amazing how a factory that has been abandoned for 60+ years has survived. It's an incredible facility and if you can go… go

Driving from DC to Baltimore I stopped for lunch in Howard County Maryland, and came across an abandoned factory, and several burned out homes.
Fear Factory est un groupe de metal industriel américain à influence death metal mélodique, groove metal, et thrash metal, originaire de Los Angeles, en Californie. Formé en 1990, Fear Factory prouve son influence dans la scène heavy metal au milieu et à la fin des années 1990. En mars 2002 le groupe se sépare à la suite d'un conflit entre ses membres, mais se reforme plus tard sans Dino Cazares, membre fondateur et guitariste du groupe. C'est l'ancien bassiste Christian Olde Wolbers qui prend sa place, remplacé lui-même à son précédent poste par Byron Stroud.
À la croisée des chemins entre le death metal (au début de leur carrière, le style vocal de Burton C. Bell ayant évolué à partir de l'album Demanufacture) et le metal industriel, Fear Factory est un groupe précurseur dans plusieurs domaines : la démo Concrete enregistrée en 1991 avec Ross Robinson qui deviendra ensuite un célèbre producteur de metal, l'utilisation de guitares à 7 cordes accordées très bas et l'intégration de samples dans des morceaux de metal.
Fear Factory is an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1989. Throughout the band's career, they have released nine full-length albums and have evolved through a succession of styles, including nu metal, death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal. Fear Factory was enormously influential on the heavy metal scene in the mid-to-late 1990s.Fear Factory went on hold in March 2002 following some internal disputes, but re-formed a year later without founding member Dino Cazares, adding bassist Byron Stroud, and previous bassist Christian Olde Wolbers as guitarist.
Obsolete est le troisième album studio du groupe de metal industriel américain Fear Factory, sorti le 28 juillet 1998.

Carbon dioxide can be harvested from smokestacks and used to create commercially valuable chemicals thanks to a novel compound developed by a scientific collaboration led by Oregon State University researcher Kyriakos Stylianou. The new metal organic framework, loaded with a common industrial chemical, propylene oxide, can catalyze the production of cyclic carbonates while scrubbing CO2 from factory flue gases.

Nutmeg nuts drying in a spice factory on the island of Grenada. Nutmeg comes from the fruit of a tree that grows on the island and is harvested from the pit. A red mesh called mace, also useful as spice, covers the pit, and the kernel inside the pit is ground to make powdered nutmeg. These drying racks hold millions of nutmeg pits that have had the mace removed.
