Summary:
The book describes the history of the construction of the original factory, on the other, its architectural restoration and transformation. Attention is paid to the history of the Van Nelle Company and its relation to the dynamic development of the harbour of Rotterdam. The inspirations and the life of director and patron Kees van der Leeuw are dealt with in some detail, and for the first time, the architecture, in which Van der Leeuw was involved, is positioned in a broader spiritual context. The design of the factory was not purely functional, but forms and colours seem to reflect a theosophical search for a higher level, which comes out, for one, in the analysis of the interiors. In addition to the illuminating descriptions of the construction process, shown in many contemporary photographs, the book examines the evolving social aspects of the time, the working conditions of the factory personnel and the well thought out logistics of the production process. The entire production process is reconstructed in a large fold-out drawing. The book also gives a great deal of consideration to influence of photography on the conceptualization of the complex and the questions that architectural historians have been posing for years. For example, the question of whether or not Mart Stam was the actual author of Van Nelle is answered in substantial detail. The problems of the modern day monument and the role of building conservation, the developer and the modern day architect are given considerable thought. In addition, the book describes the design of the old and new outdoor spaces in the complex.
