Located on the banks of the river Seine, between Bastille, the Jardin des Plantes and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Les Docks – Cité de la Mode et du Design will host the FIPCOM competition awards ceremony and exhibition of works by the winners. The Docks development, by architects Jakob + MacFarlane, is more than a mere building: it is in itself a creative and contemporary work. It is composed of screen-printed glass panes on a metal structure with a landscaped roof. This multidisciplinary space houses the Institut Français de la Mode (French Institute of fashion), designer showrooms and exhibition spaces, while a lounge bar, club and restaurants complete the offering. With its bold, undulating architecture, and its vocation as a center focusing on culture and creation, the Docks have become one of Paris’ most remarkable landmarks.
