* about the location: Part of an industrial architecture complex from 1898, the building initially known as Vama Antrepozite (the Commodities Exchange) once represented the main international trade spot in Romania. Build by the Italian architect Giuglio Magni and the Romanian engineer Anghel Saligny, the building is spectacularly transformed in 2006, when Re-Act Now architecture studio reconverted it, after the charred ruin laid abandoned for 16 years, into a modern space dedicated to creative industries and events.
