competition Architecture Projects

Contemporary architecture seems to be in a period of desperate strife of reinventing itself. We chose to re-tell architecture, to push the public to participate in its rediscovery and to stay within a space of events – INBOX.

The rule in building the new is dictated by the missing pieces of the existing urban tissue, by duplicating the existing pattern of what is and was build, of build and empty, and translating it into the new build elements.

This project is an answer to the national competition of urban planning and design – URBAN IMPLANT – regarding the remodeling of the Socola Blv. in Iasi, Romania. The aim of the competition was to generate a contemporary multi-use building that should redefine the urban presence, the functional structure and the circulation paths of the site.

The volume generates at urban scale a set of courtyards and places that open the perception towards different points of the site and sets the relations between the interior court and the urban tissue.

The urban space is meant to coagulate a large mass of individuals that distinguish themselves by the way in which they socially interact, by their path, by the places they consider of having a maximal attraction. PLAY AGAIN is a concept that invites to social interaction, to gaining the initiative and to experiment.
