Books and publications

book [EN/RO] – 2009
by: Ștefan Ghenciulescu

The more Bucharest architectural and urban patrimony is destroyed, the more publications dedicated to the city appear. It is an accountable phenomenon that pertains not only to a nostalgic evocation and exorcisation of the trauma caused by the totalitarian operations of the eighties but also to authors’ wish to bring arguments (explicitly or not) on the fact that Bucharest has had a valuable and determining patrimony in terms of our identity, a patrimony that deserves protection and promotion.

This catalog accompanies the exhibition Urban Activations in Romania, that took place in November 2011 at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest. The program is part of the Zeppelin Festival 2011.
