This first-year project was thought as an invitation for people

to socialize in Unirii Square from Timisoara.The idea was to use the existing benches, and to change

the atmosphere of the space for a period of time.With a metallic

structure covered by felt, each hat gets a different lifespan.People,

wind, sun, rain and time become key characters in the way the

project suffer changes, every day.

A360 oo The theme of the third year project was to build

a little community and try to incorporate every-one’s ideas for an ideal apartment in the design of an apartment building, on a given site, in Timișo-ara.After a detailed analysis of the site and a social study on the members of the community that we created, the project became individual, and everyone gave a differnet solution. The idea was that of having a 360 degrees view from each apartment, therefore, the solution implied having two blocks with individual access, and only one apartment on each floor.All the apartments are accessible from the core of the building, directly from the elevator.The two build-ings are connected by an exterior staircase that leads to a terrace. The courtyard is designed for children to play, and it incorporates ‘devices’ through which natu-ral light is brought into the underground parking.

VOPSITORIE

The presence of an old dye house in the middle of one of the most populated neighbourhoods in Timisoara is a controver-sial subject that both the authorities and the inhabitants of the area have been trying to deal with for a long time.The dye house ceased to have any activity in 1992 and from then on, it evolved organically, gradually ‘developing life’ inside by becoming a shelter for homeless people.Now, not only that the negative influence of it affects the community, but it also represents a danger for anyone approaching the area.Being a sort of huge, separative presence in what can represent a ‘courtyard’ for the buildings around, the dye house is the reason for many of the community problems: lack of public space, blocked visual connections, lack of parking spots and fear of social interraction. The exercise was to operate on the existing building in order to create an education and community center in that place.

Strategy

Taking into account the community wishes, our strategy was, at first to clean the area by keeping only the structure of the old dye house, and to replace the pavement with a friendly one, keeping in mind the need of a parking place.Then, we imag-ined some functions and other elements that can occupy the ground floor and are able to gather the people together: a shop, an exterior vegetables market, a coffe bar, a little fountain, benches, a space for bicycle and a pattern of green areas. We designed boxes that can be attached to the structure and taken off, whenever there’s a need to, and we created a three-level elevator car parking.Therefore, the community ‘owns’ the ground floor, and students get the platform from the first floor, the structure remaining clean and open, as a perforated sculpture in the center of hundreds of eyes, allowing visual connections.

Phases of development

‘Social and technological change demands that the capacity for alteration and expansion be built in from the outset.But this total flexibility is an illusion, and instead we must create open-ended designs capable of responding to future needs while remaining cost-effective.If subsequent generations can see connections between build-ings and the underlying urban plans, they will continue the trends that we have set in motion.’

We proposed a time-working mechanism, that can be developed with the implication of the community.The idea was to devide the project into phases of development, exploring different possible strategies, and after a social study, to focus on the one that fits best. Our proposal began with a manifesto that clear-ly outlined the directions we want to give to the task : clean the area, create visual connections, generate a friendly designed public space and atractive meeting corners for both the students who have acess to the educational center, and the community..

VOPSITORIE

Premio Piranesi Prix de Rome is an international competition that invites students to develop solutions on the topic of muzealisa-tion on well-known archeological sites.Reversibility, and the idea of valorizing the ruin through a modern intervention are key elements that the workshop deals with every year.In the summer of 2014, the task was to design a modern museum of Villa Adriana, together with the branding of it.The designing process last three weeks and represented the competition itself, the whole event being held at Villa Adriana.The area we chose to operate on is Il Canopo, due to its reputation of ‘one of the most important axis of architecture’.The team was made out of seven member, 5 italian students from The Politechnic University of Milano, and two romanian studdents from The Politechnic University of Timisoara.

The idea of the museum was to be built on an ancient building, dating from the Hadrian’s times, on the right side of the Canopo.The modern part was supposed to be a third layer added to the construction, due to the fact that another story was erected in the 17 th century. Our solution proposed to recreate what seemed to be a courtyard in the past, and to generate a path that respects the multitude of olives from the area, integrating them by transforming each one in a verritable exhibit. At the end of the exterior visiting path starts the actual museum, that is thought as a ‘route’ among the sculp-tures, gaining dynamism through it’s linear configuration. The reversibility of the structure is another issue that we focused on.Therefore, everything is made out of Corten Steel, which, besides its time-working process, offers the possibility of being taken of, at any time.

The villa was constructed at Tibur (modern-day Tivoli) as a retreat from Rome for Roman Emperor Hadrian during the second and third decades of the 2nd century AD. Hadrian was said to dislike the palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome, leading to the construction of the retreat. During the later years of his reign, he actually governed the empire from the villa. A large court therefore lived there permanently. The postal service kept it in contact with Rome 29 km (18 mi) away. After Hadrian, the villa was used by his various successors. During the decline of the Roman Empire, the villa fell into disuse and was partially ruined. In the 16th century, Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este had much of the marble and statues in Hadrian's Villa removed to decorate his own Villa d'Este located nearby.

Hadrian's Villa was a complex of over 30 buildings, covering an area of at least 1 square kilometre (c. 250 acres) of which much is still unexcavated. The villa was the greatest Roman example of an Alexandrian garden, recreating a sacred landscape. The complex included palaces, several thermae, theatre, temples, libraries, state rooms, and quarters for courtiers, praetorians, and slaves.Many beautiful artifacts have been unearthed and restored at the Villa, such as marble statues of Antinous, Hadrian's deified lover, accidentally drowned in Egypt, and mosaics from the theatre and baths.[citation needed] A lifelike mosaic depicted a group of doves around a bowl, with one drinking, seems to be a copy of a work by Sosus of Pergamon as described by Pliny the Elder. It has in turn been widely copied.[3] Many copies of Greek statues (e.g. the Wounded Amazon) have been found, and even Egyptian-style interpretations of Roman gods and vice versa. Most of these have been taken to Rome for preservation and restoration, and can be seen at the Musei Capitolini or the Musei Vaticani. However, many were also excavated in the 18th century by antiquities dealers such as Piranesi and Gavin Hamilton to sell to Grand Tourists and antiquarians such as Charles Towneley, and so are in major antiquities collections elsewhere in Europe and North America.

Radical Islands Blaster

The workshop was organized by Anuala Timișoareană de Arhi-tectură and was developed by Parasite 2.0, an italian architec-ture studio.The idea of the work-shop was to build a device for transforming a certain, problem-atic public space into a work-space, to activate it by interacting with the passers-by, to inform them about the area and to let them express their wishes on what a public space should have in order to be used. We reused the device for anoth-er (school, this time) project, an analysis on how students live in the Student Campus from Timiso-ara. People’s reactions when seeing the ‘blaster’ (a sort of wheelbarrow on bicycle wheels) for the first time are amazing, reason why we intend to use it(or to build other devices) any time we have to deal with social stud-ies.

The idea of the workshop was to design a pavillion near a beauti-ful mansion,in Hodoni,a village near Timisoara. The place is well-known for the weddings that are being held there during the summer.The process started at school, where we sketched our ideas, and continued on site, where we actually built it.With a budget of 900 euros, the client’s wish was to have a space for spending time with his friends during the summer.We created frames and used ropes to give the sensation of an inside of a space, but also as structural elements.The pavilion acts like a big lamp at night.

de-a arhitectura

As a volunteer at ‘De-a Arhitectura’ , I have to use simple words to explain children com-plex phenomena.It is the most challenging project that I’ve ever had the occasion to take part in.The class is optional for the third and fourth grade, in Romania, but due to the fact that more and more parents are interested in it, there is a strategy of extending it to other grades as well.Teaching becomes a reversible process, children’s creativity is often a source of learning for us. From expeditions of observing interesting things around, to communicating by drawing and feeling textures, everything is part of a well-thought process that materializes itself in a sort of guide that both architects and students of architecture use to teach. The program is not willing to invite kids to become architects, but to develop their creativity by getting to know how diverse are the tools they can use in order to obtain what they want.
