One room on Plantelor Street. After 20 minutes of talk with Cristi, am so absorbed that I almost forget we are recording it. We talk about film and architecture, what is beyond definitions. He speaks about the cinema beyond the clichés of a dictionary, while I talk about the unspoken side of architecture, the void.

“Design of the ground public space – University Parking: Technical Project”

The idea of the competition has come up after the opening in 2010 of the site for the underground parking lot in the University Square in the center of the Romanian capital.
Since several derogations were made from the provisions of the Zonal Urban Plan endorsed by the General Council of Bucharest Municipality, Bucharest Branch of the Architects’ Chamber of Romania has demanded the authorities:

As we don’t have quite so many, we are going to make some distinction, but it’s simple. If you want to be the lucky one, please take a picture from somewhere up, like you were looking from zeppelin, and send it to us at: comunicare@zeppelin-magazine.net

And don’t forget: higher you are taking the picture from, better it is. For sure you can find something like a balcony, some skyscraper, an attic window or a tower. Besides your award book, you gain the chance to be published, posted and complimented by Zeppelin team. So that we are all ready, let’s start! We are waiting for your “up pictures” until June 29th, Wednesday night. June 30th we are announcing the winners, displaying the photos on fb as well as on our site.
