Asemenea proiectoare se foloseau în al II-lea război mondial pentru filmele de propagandă. Acesta e motivul pentru care a fost construit robust, din metal şi cu transmisie pe lanţ.

După al II-lea război mondial a fost în proprietatea unui neamţ. Pe cutie scrie “Rudolf Stein. Eigentum”. După ’89 acest Rudolf Stein s-a despărţit de el pentru a-l trimite la o treabă de suflet în România.”

POVEŞTI CU FARMEC DIN ORAS

Arborele din strada Pomiculturii are peste 300 de ani, 21 de metri inaltime, 4,47 si a crescut inca de pe vremea cand Timisoara era pasalac turcesc. Nu s-a incumetat nimeni sa il taie. Singurul lucru pe care il incurca este traficul. Localnicii nu stiu prea multe despre el, dar stiu ca este mereu acolo, in mijlocul strazii.

Monstruleţi înfometaţiHungry little monsters

Hungry little monsters is a campaign what serves to promote youngsters and not only, to throw rub-bish to the bin. This process requires painting and decorating all street bins and hopefully even house bins in order to make recycling more fun and inter-active for everyone. The problem in Timisoara is that we don’t separate the trash. Glass and paper, metal, plastic or organic waste are all put together in one black bag and will end up in the same place, meaning the junk yard, or in rare cases in a fire just outside your building. Well, thats why the hungry little mon-sters come in many colors: green- pa-per, blue- glass, purple- metal, orange- organic waste, and yellow- plastic ;. I know this is a pretty hard thing to do, maybe you don’t have a purple hungry little monster close by, and you want to throw your metal in the green hungry little monster, but not to worry, we found a solution to this problem.

MONSTRULEŢI ÎNFOMETAŢI

Comori ascunseHidden treasures

Timisoara is a place of architectural beauty but people have busy lives and they miss the full potential of the buld-ings. Did you know that all the buildings in Victory Square are actually palaces? Each was made by different architects for different noble families. Now, they have on the first floor all kinds of shops or restaurants. Everyone who passes will most likely never look up at the building and simply walk in.

MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

Each palace and many other buildings of Timisoara are fitted with marve-lous roofs, complex architectural and decorative motifs, and statues. These statues are almost never seen because of the many distraction from the street level. When you are in Timisoara, it is absolutely worth to look up. It will make you optimistic and give you something to remember.

COMORI ASCUNSE

For those who still do not observe the statues above them, the street also has a few treasures. The Fish Fountain in Victory Square creates a unique display of color each morning from 7 to 8 during May, June and July. The urban planning

made this possible on pupose because it left the sunrise shine directly on the fountain. But what if you want to hear something? Some music maybe? Near the tram station in Liberty Square there is a building that houses the Music

Faculty. They rehears each day and leave the windows open. This allows anyone who is near there to listen to the beauti-ful sounds of Mozart, Beethoven, and others.

Why Timisoara?-because one of my relatives-good advices about college and teachers-nice and beautiful-very clean and unpolluted air-beautiful girls-paradise

What about the citizens?-kind, nice and polite-friendly teenagers-the language was a problem for a while

What do you think about some cultural exchanges-that should be a good idea-I would like parties and picnic

GRAFFITI VS VANDALIZARE

Cu răbdarea cuvenită unei plimbări şi cu atenţia potrivită curiozităţii, oricine va descoperi într-un oraş graffiti-uri cu cele mai diferite forme, conţinuturi şi culori. Unde să fie aruncată privirea, mai bine? Spre faţadele impecabile ale clădirilor istorice, spre gardurile din cărămidă ale parcurilor, spre coşurile de gunoi nou vopsite, spre afişele de spec-tacole, spre pereţii dărămaţi ai caselor ori spre zidurile abandonate în uitare şi neglijenţă. Mai zăreşti mâzgăleli colorate pe cutiile poştale de la porţi, pe vagoanele de tramvai, pe partea laterală a vreunei remorci sau pe soclul unei sta-tui din parc. Atunci când proprietarii şi municipalitatea nu şi-au exprimat acor-dul pentru realizarea vreunor inscripţii

ori desene într-un spaţiu public, se vorbeşte despre graffiti (graphein - a scrie, în limba greacă; graffiato - zgâriat, în limba italiană). Caracterul lor este, aşadar, unul illicit. Nu poate să placă o înjurătură scrisă în grabă pe un perete sau pe o vitrină şi nici un proprietar nu ar fi de acord cu o caricatură nereuşită, trasată din senin pe zidul casei lui. Însă graffiti-urile apar neîncetat, ca inscripţii ori desene scrijelite, zgâriate şi vopsite. Instrumentelesunt diverse: obiecte ascuţite, markere, sprayuri, pensule, creioane, crete, cărbuni, de fapt, orice obiect care poate lăsa o urmă vizibilă ori o dâră de culoare.

My topic of social importance in Timişoara is the homeless dogs. My strategy is to convince people that dogs don’t deserve to die or to be killed. I want to convince people to save the dogs by adopting and taking care of them. Ithought of graphic proposals to motivate people, especially kids, to adopt the dogs.

TURNURILE DE APĂ

39

Turnurile de apă din Iosefin este un monument industrial din Timişoara, situat pe str. Baritiu nr.3. Are o înălţime de 52m, a fost ridicat în 1914 de către arhitectul Laszlo Szekely, Richard Sabatich şi contrasemnat de Stan Vidrighin, turnul aflânduse pe lista monumentelor istorice ale Timişoarei.

După ce au fost terminate lucrările de canalizare ale oraşului la capetele reţeleide distribuţie a fost construit turnul care a servit pentru compensarea consumului maxim din cursul zilei.

Turnul din zona Fabric are o capacitate de 500 mc. Prin anii 40, sistemul de alimentare bazat pe acumulare pe vreme de noapte în cele două rezervoare aeriene nu a mai functionat corespunză-tor, astfel că ele nu au mai fost folosite, însă ambele turnuri sunt identice.

This publication is the outcome of a workshop conducted by andrews:degen, a graphic design studio based in Amsterdam. Students from the graphic design department of the Vest University, in Timișoara, Romania, explored one week their city from different angles. Timișoara is the 3rd largest city and a municipality in Romania. Located in the Banat region, Timișoara has traditionally been one of the leading centres of romanian social, cultural, academic and artistic life. Timișoara itself has a population of 311.428 and accommodates over 60,000 students.

The topics are based on social issues, personal stories and visual communication in the city of Timișoara. Students developed interventions, campaigns and poetic visual statements. Design thinking and the use of design tools as a method for research, exploration and problem solving.

This project was made possible thanks to the support of the Centrul Cultural German Timișoara, Casa Artelor and the Universitatea de Vest Timișoara - Facultatea de Arte și Design.
