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.

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.

A building site and a laboratory instead of a wrapped-up operation: that’s what Republic of Architects tried to express in the interior design of the new atelier.

Wednesday, November 9 at 12 PM – 4 PM @ National University of Music Bucharest (Auditorium Hall) – Știrbei Vodă street no. 33, 4th floor

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.
