Thursday, November 10, 2016, at 7 pm, in the presence of His Excellency, Mr. Werner Hans Lauk – the Ambassador of Germany in Bucharest, seven new exhibitions will open to the public at the National Museum of Contemporary Art – MNAC (The Palace of Parliament)

Are you willing to change the future of libraries transforming them in public hub? Are you a designer or a reporter with a passion for the human centered design approach? Answer to this call and participate in the selections of the best designers and reporters for 5 LIB#LAB with libraries in Europe promoted by the European project New Libraries.

We create the Swedish mood with a delicious selection of short and long films, fiction, animation and documentaries that showcase pretty much everything we know about the Scandinavian cinema. That is: a special light, not to be found in any other place, with twilight and boreal sparks, flawless photography, an imaginary sometimes bizarre and otherwordly, activism, dramas with comed inserts, or unsettling comedies.

November 4 – 12, 2016 -Bucharest, Romania

The third edition of the Bucharest Art Week (BAW) International Festival examines the way in which contemporary artists, curators and theorists place themselves with respect to the theme of nature and the tradition of the landscape.

In September 2016, Zeppelin moved into one of the top innovative buildings produced in Romania in the last years. We wrote about it, promoted intensively. Now we change the role of the critic to the one of the dedicated user.

The House is integrally built from a locally developed thermo- and hydro-insulating concrete, and the result of a partnership between open and responsible clients, an architect with vision and courage and strongly involved construction partners.

Cosmina Goagea – representing Zeppelin Association – was one of three speakers (along with Merlijn Twaalfhoven – Netherlands and Michelle Browne – Ireland) who presented examples of participative practices at the European Academy of Participation International Conference, held on 27 and October 28, 2016 in Dublin.

Zeppelin has organized four editions (2004-2010) of the Bucharest Architecture Biennale  (today called the National Architecture Biennale). Thus, an important event for all the architects, but virtually unknown outside the profession, has grown exponentially in scope, visibility and popularity, and gained a new identity. The architectural discourse and current production problems were placed in an international context and opened to interdisciplinary dialogue and to an educated public.

Beyond the archetypal interpretations and a unique recycling of some prefabricated garages, the small house on the periphery of Bucharest is a shelter in all the senses of the word.

Same company, same architects, two consecutive office spaces. A lot of care, attention to needs and an elegant design that is built-up starting from the context and the client’s professional identity.
