44. Westfourth Architecture: Adapting
> The apartment building in the center of Bucharest adapts to the historic fabric and to a difficult plot, but also to economical evolutions: it was designed before the crisis, the operation was interrupted for several years, only to restart with a smaller budget but also the requirement to diminish the size of all apartments while dou¬bleing their number, within the same volume and basic plan.

52. Synthesis Architecture: Behind the Blocks of Flats, a Bigger House  
>  The urban villa is placed on a free plot in the middle of a socialist neighbourhood right beyond the inner city ring of Bucharest emphasizes both individuality and variation. All apartments are different and the decorative pannels, all starting from the same interpretated vernacular ornament become parapets or cover the ines¬capable exterior air conditioning units that are cleverly integrated into the wall.

Editor’s: Architecture Awards

Text: Cosmin Caciuc

In this issue we are publishing a dossier with projects rewarded at the European Award for Architectural Heritage Intervention AADIPA. These biennial awards organized with Catalan support occurred in the professional continental landscape only recently, in 2013. Unlike other famous European awards, such as those dedicated to the Eu Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards (from 2002, focusing on heritage conservation), The European Prize for Urban Public Space (from 1999, focusing on new urban interventions) and the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award (1998, for new architectural projects) AADIPA awards deal with a niche mediating between heritage and contemporary examples. It is an important signal of the need to reconcile social attitudes divided between history and modernization, of the strategic importance for the development of urban heritage, providing even a guide of best practices in protected areas, where integration and coexistence are fundamental keys to awareness and understanding.
