Scenarios for the collective housing from the socialist period in Bucharest<\/p>\n

When it comes to contemporary urban development Eastern European countries lend themselves to be regarded as a testing ground: their striving to catch up with Western Europe is matched by rapid, often brutal changes. This exhibition takes Bucharest as a sample city to analyse the evolution socialist collective housing estates underwent during the past twenty years. It explores ideas, articulates principles and brings forth case studies to help model a strategy for the urban rehabilitation of such areas. It speaks of the frantic individualism that replaced the imposed collectivism of yesteryears, of the public – private interplay, of social and economic mechanisms, of architecture and (above all) public space. The project suggests an alternative approach, based on community activation, minimal resources, and on a „positive takeover” of current tendencies.

Magic Blocks is an Archis Interventions, Zeppelin, Arhitectura magazine and Point 4 initiative, launched in cooperation with ATU, Space Syntax Romania, Hackenbroich Architekten, Platforma 9,81<\/p>\n
