Wiebengahal, Former ceramics factory in Céramique district, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The Wiebengahal features reinforced concrete columns and beams supporting a shell roof structure with transverse skylights for natural illumination.
Built in 1912 by architect Jan Wiebenga for Société Ceramique, this factory hall marked the transformation of pottery production from craft to industrial scale.
The building represents the New Objectivity movement in Dutch architecture through its functional design and structural innovations in concrete construction methods.
The T-shaped structure contains multiple floors connected by industrial passages, with the ground level measuring fifteen meters in span width.
The concrete shell roof demonstrates advanced engineering with its thin profile of eight centimeters at the top and twelve at the base.
