PAKT is a unique ecosystem in Antwerp’s heart, where work is combined with urban farming, sports, and dining. In 2017 a mix of 25 creative businesses established themselves on the PAKT site. You can apply to become a rooftop farmer and grow your own vegetables, fruits, and even fish or chicken, supplying fresh eggs. The harvest is shared among all rooftop farmers. They also have a program to assist architects or developers in planning their own urban green space.
For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.
The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
