28. Point 4: Furniture Becomes Space
>  An apartment in a socialist block of flats in Bucharest. Small area, even smaller budget, a rigid structure that didn’t allow changes in partition. Therefore, the simple built-in furniture made of wood agglomerate pannels is turned into a design mechanism – it shapes limits, places, finishes, and the expression.

50. DOSSIER: Juri Troy Architects  – 3 houses
> This is critical regionalism and ecology for real and not as a fancy discourse. But the houses designed in Austria by Juri Troy′s team are much more than this: wood in all shapes and sizes is stretched to the limit in order to creat perfectly modern spaces and expressive images.

Editor’s: Revolution and popcorn

Text: Ștefan Ghenciulescu

The fountain in Bucharest University Square is not really a great artistic achievement. But it is a place, one of the very few focal points and hubs of life and identity in a city where genuine public spaces, used as such, are almost nonexistent. There′s also a huge symbolic and civic value in this spot. People died here during the Revolution of 1989 and during the conflicts with the miners (the so-called Mineriads), crowds still gather here for demonstrations, individuals come here on a daily basis, to discuss, to meet or simply to rest. Of course, those perimetral water jets installed by the City Hall from a few years ago, that drench you as soon as you sit, destroyed much of the quality of the place, but it dwelt on. It even resisted the initiative of the same City Hall to replace the fountain with a banal refurbishment.
