Dior’s 3D Printed Pop-Up Store is one of the winners of the International Architecture Awards 2024
The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies has awarded Dior’s 3D printed Concept Store with the International Architecture Award.
Now in its 19th year, The International Architectural Awards are the oldest and most prestigious distinguished global building awards program that honors new and cutting-edge design worldwide.
The International Architecture Awards give an important global overview of the current aesthetic direction of today’s commercial, corporate, institutional, and residential work to the real estate, banking, business, and corporate community, as well as to the press and general public worldwide.
Dior Concept Store is a unique installation composed of two circular modules crafted from natural materials, using an exceptional 3D printing system: Crane WASP.
This hi-tech feat pushes the boundaries of savoir-faire for WASP which for the first time, like a digital tailor, has designed a habitable structure in proportions never seen before.
In a fascinating architectural interplay, the cannage motif, a key House code, is revealed on the walls of this ephemeral boutique, 3D printed by WASP.
