“Edel was interested in ways of bringing back manufacturing jobs to the city,” explains Melanie Hoekstra, director of operations at The Plant. The building is uniquely suited to food production; it contains food-grade materials (these allow for legal and safe food preparation) because of its meatpacking history. Instead of combining farming with other types of manufacturing, The Plant is sticking entirely to food—and lots of it.
Love this!

Norway Design
With an enormous budget and a keen eye, the country of Norway initiated a massive 15-year plan to generate tourism through their use of unique and provocative design. The government unleashed a team of architects and designers to initiate a full structural overhaul in hopes of generating an experience worth traveling to.
The Norwegian sights are now complemented by some of the world’s most daring modern design, dispersed from the southern tip of Jaeren to the northern coast of Varenger. The collaborative production allows visitors the opportunity to take in the mind-blowing Norwegian scenery in high style.
