Nestle chocolate factory

Indoors of the factory
Outdoors of the factory
I came across this randomly one day and thought it was crazy. It's the Nestle chocolate factory in Mexico, but it's so clean and not what i expected a chocolate factory to look like. The architect, Michel Rojkind was asked to redesign the inside of the chocolate factory for it's daily visitors so the architect decided to create a new structure to entice the visitors into the Nestle building. After making their proposal, the architect and his team got straight into things, the design and construction took two and a half months to complete. The chocolate is made in the centre of the factory which isn't visible in the picture and the building funnels straight into it. The new museum like building introduced it's visitors to the making and also the history of the chocolate. I thought it was very interesting.
