The Seine will soon be "the place to be and be seen" with the new "Docks en Seine" project. The new site will include spaces for fashion shows of new creative designers, music concerts, innovative exhibitions and theatrical events. The 12,000 meters squared building, redesigned by Architects Dominique Jakob and Brendan Macfarlane, is situated along the Seine between the Pont de Bercy and the Pont d'Austerlitz in the 13th district of Paris. The project, financed by the Caisse des Depots et Consignations (a financial institution that funds public service activities) and the City of Paris, will dedicate a space for the Institut Francais de la Mode (IFM) and be opened to the public in Autumn of this year. The site promises to be a creative entity that may surpass the existing art and cultural venues already in place.
