Witte Dame, Protected industrial building in central Eindhoven, Netherlands.
The six-story white building, designed by architect Dirk Roosenburg, features large windows across its facade and follows New Objectivity architectural principles.
Built between 1928 and 1931, the structure operated as a Philips light bulb manufacturing facility until the company relocated production in the 1980s.
The building currently houses the Design Academy Eindhoven, the central public library, and several educational institutions that contribute to local knowledge exchange.
Located at Emmasingel street, the facility provides underground parking and contains multiple spaces for studying, working, and meeting purposes.
The structure's preservation marks a turning point in Eindhoven's development, transforming from industrial heritage into an educational and cultural center.
