For RDW’s 2019 iteration of "Meet the Architect", Republic of Architects invites Grupul de Iniţiativă Civică Lacul Tei ( https://laculteiinfo.ro/ ), a community that cherishes their neighborhood. Their members have between 22 and 80 years old and are technicians, biologists, builders, attorneys, architects, researchers, computer engineers, photojournalists, directors and so on. The Group was founded in 2010, when a handful of people decided to walk around the neighbourhood in order to record the problems observed: the lack of parking spots or sanitation, the citizen safety or thermal insulation problematic. Since then, the Group has developed organically and crystallized in a solid, active, vigilent and dinamic community.
On Saturday, May 18, in the morning from 11AM, they confessed about their communitarian experiences and the Center where they house their civic, cultural or educational activities, a place where friends are welcomed to create non-commercial events dedicated to the people of the neighbourhood.

Between 10th and 31th July House with inner courtyard, Eroii Sanitari, Ordoreanu Retreat andBBP Totems are exhibited at Anuala de Arhitectură Bucureşti 2018 at MERCATOCOMUNALE, outpost for AAB2018, Ion Câmpineanu 22.
Between 6th and 27th August the expo can be found at GRĂDINA CASEI UNIVERSITARILOR, Dionisie Lupu 46.

For RDW’s 2018 iteration of "Meet the Architect", Iulian Ungureanu from Asociația “Încotroceni” (www.incotroceni.ro) related possible ways how can the innovative resources of the “creative neighborhood” be put to use in order to accomplish a good/involved/responsive... neighborhood as well. For this we invited visitors to join us in learning from the experience of our neighbors that have capitalized on the skill and knowledge of its members, and combined their respective architectural, sociological, anthropological, juridical or economical expertizes in order to become active actors in urban policies.

Republic of Architects is honoured to be partner with Transilvania Bank in implementing of the new branding of the financial company for branches around Romania. The projects have started in 2016 and continued in 2017 with the building of over 25 projects.

The client meets the architect because he/she wants to ("the architect is a pro") or because have to ("the authorities requires authorization")? It's great to see the examples of Stardust Architects during their presentation at Meet the Architect 06, were they were chosen by the Client because their opinion matter.

How can an architect have a good idea for someone you don't know?
From Stardust's perspective, it was made clear that the partnership with the client has to be a common effort. Also, that this partnership has to be evaluated continuously. This is were the history of the questionnaire for the Client started, a project in continuous transformation. The capacity to synthesize in a form the requirements / questions for the Client was made easy in spite of the different design services possible, unlikely possible for a stable geometry. Stardust questionnaire is a sensual affirmation, of preferences and aptitudes.

See you at the next Meet the Architect !

Oana Iacob has been invited by The Institute to guide portfolio for Portfolio Reviews @Diploma, a program composed of two education sessions that evaluates individual portfolios for students and young architects and to send a professional feedback for presentation and content.
