Strange castles, nearly 100 meters high, with rods, slabs, enormous bellies with iron guts; huge halls; a big barrel full of water, where the wreckages of several little boats and an aircraft are floating; concrete tanks, pools with overgrown water lilies; rows of pillars suffocated by vines; a forest with floating pipes; and still, you do not feel in a detective, post‑apocalyptic or Tarkovsky movie, because there are playgrounds everywhere, and climbing contraptions.

Thursday, October 6^th, 6:30 pm @MNAC Dalles

An international conference that brings together design, technology, STEAM education and entrepreneurship. A dialogue between Romanian and Swedish experiences and initiatives. Our guests are the ones who actively transform education from institution to a complete learning experience, where a static and cumbersome process becomes dynamic, interactive and fun. 

5 October – 15 November @MNAC Dalles 

Visiting hours: Wednesday-Friday: 4-21 / Saturday-Sunday: 12-20 / Monday-Tuesday: closed

We begin the fall season and Creative Sweden #3 program with magi*k – an interactive exhibition about the history of mass media emergence in Bucharest. We begin with the art deco radio antennas and reach the contemporary era, when the city is plugged in to the global network.

Takahashi Hiroko Oshiage Studio resulted from converting an old steel building into an exhibition space with studio, meeting room, shop, multifunctional area and even a greenhouse.

Experimental teaching and research programme, and a workshop that took place at KSEVT, the Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies in Slovenia.

Formerly used as a barn, Nogueiras house has a built area of only 50 m2 and occupies an existing stone construction in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. At the the ground floor, there is a dou­ble height living area and entrance, and at the first floor a bedroom. The central wood box is the bounding piece of the different areas, incor­porating furniture elements and the bathroom.

Simona Pribeagu Schmid is a Romanian arhitect, living and working in Switzerland. Designing and overseeing the construction of a small house for her parents in the small city of Alexandria meant dealing with a tight budget, cheap standard materials and average building skills.

For two months we’re bringing the Swedish culture to Bucharest, we discuss and experiment the Scandinavian creativity, we give it a local context and we look into the future. A northern season in Bucharest’s effervescence.
