Location of this story draws from the symbolism of the cloud (a data hotel) and a mash of data center NorthC and Smartdc (housed in the Van Nelle Factory)

Van Nelle Factory


  • Herbestemming van-nelle highres Ossiprechten-afgekocht.jpg


Majority of the sources about this factory talk about the way in which the building, the factory itself - being on the UNESCO list - is a symbol of modernity. The factory during the 20s was moved out of the city of Rotterdam to a cheap stretch of land where it could increase in size. The building comes to overshadow the discourse on where the factories produce (tea, tobacco and coffee) originated from.

NorthC

"De naam NorthC is niet toevallig gekozen. Maar geïnspireerd op de Noordzee, de haven voor handel en economie en de regionale binding die we hebben"
