www – wall window workshop
Dan Perjovschi at Ruhr Triennale 2013
One of the main attractions of this years’ Ruhr Triennale was Dan Perjovschi’s www – wall window workshop. The artist held the workshop in the Bochum Jahrhunderthalle, a famous industrial building from the region, which now houses performative and visual art. Perjovschi’s intervention included works from his personal collection and contextual drawings, as well, about the building and the event itself.

Under the context of the past few years which generated a number of unfinished buildings, this proposal seems a real treat, a necessary one to say the least . Taking the basis, the structure of someone else’s project and giving it substance, finality and maybe a new vision of space.

An apartment from an interwar building.
We wanted to reinterpret some of the characteristic elements found in this apartment: wood finishes, lighting and space continuity, irregular geometry, the multitude of options for opening and closing spaces, the very different perspectives.

A flat’s redesign, Bucharest
An anonymous apartment building of the 30s, with one small flat per floor. No special architecture – on the contrary, awkward positions of the openings, non-functional corners; yet, at the same time, qualities that even the worst architecture at that time had and which hardly come up today: agreeable height, a well proportioned windows, an indescribable charm of bizarre connections between spaces, or of ordinary door joints with panelling and boarding.

‘What are you staring at us for ? Why are you taking pictures ? Get away from here ! Leave us in peace !’
We saw the homestead at a bend on the road which passes through the Râmeti village in the Western Carpathians. An incredible image : a house, a shed and a barn exactly as they used to be a hundred years ago and which now seem to exist only in ethnographic museums. Three elderly people, patching a thatch roof with a sheet of metal.- Recommend on FacebookTweet about it

> This team pursues primary construction using wood, in combination with other forms of solid structures in the service of spatial experience to arrive undogmatically at fully optimized constructive possibilities: reduced costs, abbreviated construction schedules, a precise realization of architectonic intentions, and an improved ecological footprint.54 Iulian Ungureanu: Recycling a peasant house

> The National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) is housing for a whole year a retrospective of artist Mircea Cantor. The Q.E.D. exhibition is located on the ground floor and the mezzanine of the museum, and the connection between the exhibits and the spaces belonging to Ceausescu’s former palace is anything but accidental. Attila Kim’s exhibition design responds to the artist’s programme by disassembling and reorganizing existing spaces.

An exhibition about the reactivation of the Romanian architectural heritage.
This exhibition is based on a selection of 20 contemporary interventions to listed buildings. We have not chosen restorations of huge value monuments (where the interventions should be invisible anyway), but operations that breathed new life into old, fragile sites. Respectful repairs, but also infusions of new functions, strategies, community actions, added value for that particular location.
