Zeppelin at European Academy of Participation International Conference

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.

Bucharest Architecture Biennale 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010

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.

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.

Mayor for 10 minutes. A participatory action within the project “Actopolis. The Art of Action / Bucharest‑South”

In late May, nearly a hundred residents of the southern part of the city became, briefly, city mayors. In an exercise of imagination and responsibility, ideas and decisions came out of a mobile mayor’s office which moved in three districts in the area. We gathered the participants’ opinions and proposals and soon we will make them public. After completing the action, the pavilion was carried to Belciugatele village, Calarasi County, where Arhipera Association and a team of volunteers have reassembled it, as street furniture, in the park in the village centre.
