project Architecture Projects

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 main theme is that of a funnel that opens towards the garden-park and the fortress of Deva and closes towards the outer circulation belt of the city.

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.
