exhibition
16 September – 21 November, 2010, Pavilion Unicredit – centre for contemporary art and culture, Bucharest

The exhibition presents the impact of the economic, environmental and generation crisis over architecture and the way to approach the complexity of those issues to set up a future outline. “Rien ne va Plus” started as a research project with the starting point that we are the witnesses of a triple crisis: an economic one, connected to the estate speculations, another one, the environmental one, connected to unprecedented climatic changes and, finally, that of generations.

The exhition presented the results of the Magic Blocks 2010 project to the audience – the key ideas ideas of the study and the strategy for urban activation, the interventions in the public space behind the blocks on Calea Moşilor and a documentary.

Calea Moşilor 2010: an aggressive and grey concrete curtain, specific to the ‘80s, which cuts a historical fabric and divides the city in two: in front of the boulevard a dense and well equipped city, yet ugly and aggressive, and behind, the historical city, hidden and isolated.
