Art/Literary - Furniture / Household Appliances / furniture, chairs, tables | | Italian term or phrase: coprire grandi luci | | Context: Sia Rietveld, sia l'ingegner Beltman, incaricato delle strutture, miravano a costruire una fabbrica modello, moderna e quindi grande attenzione fu spesa affinché i materiali fossero scelti sulla base delle più avanzate tecnologie. Il complesso, a un solo piano, ha una planimetria a L ed ha una copertura del tipo a shed, composta di segmenti di arco, realizzati in cemento armato a struttura sottile, che permetteva di coprire grandi luci, facilitando così la flessibilità interna rispetto alle varie fasi di lavorazione. |
