The original Fiat (Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili

The original Fiat (Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino) factoty - architect Giacomo Mattè-Trucco, today is the Turin convention centre in Lingotto photographed by @hol_ography who has really captured the amazing ramp in this image. The history of the building is smashing, it started off life as the Fiat automotive factory and at the time of building, the factory was the largest of its kind in Europe. Groundbreaking design and innovation to create a production line with the Agnelli family at the helm. Cars were produced here from 1923 until the mid 1980s. The site today has been reimagined by Renzo Piano as a convention centre, entertainment complex and hotel. Cool stuff: The rooftop was a test track which featured in the original ‘Italian Job’ film.

Is this brutal enough? Yep! Bunker 599 in Hei- en Boeicop, in the Netherlands. Photographed with thanks to @vedarvisuals and further view over at @greyscapeworld ). Thank you too, to Scott of @combconstruction who earns the title of super sleuth for discovering the background information. This concrete bunker was used as originally as a soldier’s shelter. It has been cut in half by Dutch designers RAAAF and Atelier de Lyon. The space has taken on a fascinating new life and highlighted an area called the ‘New Dutch Line’ which is made up of a hundreds of concrete defences built over a seventy year period to protect Dutch cities. Imaginatively, the space the defence line protected was reimagined in 2000 as a national park which took more than a decade to complete and is today the New Dutch Waterline (NDW) national parkland. On a need to see basis: you can reach it or simply drive by from Highway A2 - Amsterdam to Den Bosch segment
