Motto
About the project
2017 Ludovic Blanckaert and Emanuelle Weiss Wimereux, France The prerequisite of the project will be the search for a relevant implementation strategy, oriented towards a sustainable development. And at the same time, the definition of an “open”, “available” equipment, intended for all audiences, based on complementary themes: the memory,a great attention to the landscape, the perception, the human scale. We search for a“a project apart”, a hybrid, an alternative, a project that can “build knowledge”, poetically register in an emblematic site, suggest reflections, provoke emotions
L’homme et la mer Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer ! La mer est ton miroir ; tu contemples ton âme Dans le déroulement infini de sa lame, Et ton esprit n’est pas un gouffre moins amer. The proposal ... seeks to bring a new perspective for the things that are specific to the site. Wimereux has been a tourist attraction since the 18th century, and summer leisure activites are the main activites that keep the place full of life. The project is situated on the sea shore, but not on the beach. It gives a new life to the only parking that accomodates the nearby beach. It creates a new oasis. The three pavillions that are used as changing cabines, cafe, and multiporpose space, define a closed space, whose heart is the swimmingpool craved in the natural small hill. It is a place where both mind and body unwind, where nature and human meet, a concession between rectangular and organic, between antropic and nature.

About the project
2015 Ioana Stan Claudiu Toma, Oana Rupacici Cluj-Napoca, Romania In Cluj-Napoca, Someșului Street 15-19, on an empty site, with a surface of approx. 3000 m2 a proposal for houses for eight families will be made. These will be thought in such a manner as to offer a living quality as close to individual houses as possible, while using the relatively modest means of the closely knit houses, but also the advantages of living in a community. The main theme of the project is the square, understood as a protected space, that favors meeting and comunication between people. These squares will be discovered on the route, between the houses, and are meant to be reminiscences of the public spaces in the city. As a result of the public space study, we concluded that the squares are a constat in the city of Cluj Napoca. Through our project we inted to do a reevaluation of the public’s space meaning, and to recreate the relationships between people. Taking as a model the traditional form of Cluj Napoca’s house, formed by a groundfloor, a basement and a story (where the groundfloor was usually a public space, and the basement offered space for storage), we propose a solution in which the groundfloor is divided in two areas : the public, common space that opens into the nearby square and the semiprivate space, the livingroom, that opens in a private garden. The common space varies from house to house and is addapting to the particularities of the site (flower-shop, game-room, common library,etc). The structure of the house is given by three tubes, which are also designed to divide the space in “small squares”. These tubes provide vertical circulation, sanitary services, and one of them retrieves the characteristics of the common space that is found in the house. 13

Mont de Piete-Archeology Museum
Year : Co-autors : Tutors : Location : Task :
2017 Justine Lecomte, Alexandre Olivier Tournai, Belgium The old Mont Piete building, serves as the archeology museum of Tournai. Unfortunately, the building is in a very bad condition, and also the exhibitions lack a proper design and strategy. Therefore, the task of the project was to restaurate the building, to make it more attractive and open to the city, to think a strategy for the objects display, and to put Tournai again on the map of important Archeology attractions of Belgium The project proposed tries to solve most of the problems that were identified during the investigation of the building.
About the project
The most important part of the project is the opening of an Experimentative Chantier, on the place of the old house of the guardian, which was demolished several years ago. This way, the activity of the museum becomes more visible and attractive. There are two entrances proposed, one that goes through the chantier, and it is the one for the tourists, and the second one reserved for the personal of the museum. The garden works as an outdoor exhibition, and the terrace looks to the cathedral, and opens the museum to the other side of the city. On the other side of the site, we propose a cafe and an auditorium. Inside of the building, the objects are presented in a chronologial order. An important addition is the double floor, which on one hand permits the display of object also on the floor (reminding of the way that they were discovered) and on the other hand, creates space for the addition of new and modern instalations.

Year : Co-autors : Location : Task :
2017 VITAMIN ARCHITECTS, Mircea Braje, Alexandru Maduta, Alexandra Marin, Ioana Stan, Alexandra Vitan Wien, Austria The industrial area Liesing, is the city’s largest productive are. Since 2011 a neighbourhood management scheme has been supporting the area’s development, aiming at unique options for synergies between businesses, supportive infrastructure, and above all, the development of an “Industrial city”: the integration of sustainable mobility, public spaces and new types of buildings shall create new synergies between low-rise production and stacked forms of productive businesses with a higher density of workplaces. Europan shall be the pilot for this ambition. The proposal ... is an exercise of imagination. Imagine a hub of infinite iterations, an auto sustainable organism that evolves and adapts reflecting the context and being embedded in it.
About the project
We take a leap of fate supporting the process on five pylons of quality: mobility, flexibility, variety, social inclusion and integration. They facilitate the INDUSTRIAL CITY and offer the framework for an immense variety of patterns, cultures and ideas. THE FRAMEWORK is composed of five different elements. The Vienesse Café has a unique prestige. As a coagulant for society it brought together thinkers and intellectuals, innovators and craftsmen, ideas and technology. The vegetation stands between industry and café as the green space Liesing deserves and also needs right now. As a buffer zone it brings quality of living in the industrial site. It’s role is doubled by the intimate gardens where firms and individuals form bonds interacting and exchanging experiences. The Fab Lab Towers connect and share. They offer complementary functions to industry and artisans such as meeting rooms, multidisciplinary workshops or sport grounds. The structural role is both physical and conceptual.. Finally the last piece that brings and binds them together. A self-sustaining business system composed of 3 entities of different complexion: start-ups, incubators and industry.

The heavy logistics penetrate the plot C and round the central garden, to the main logistic area that distributes all goods.

The big, continus slabs, are to be occupied by different kinds of production businesses. Depending on their size, they are classified in 3 categorries : start-ups, incubators, and big industries. The rule of the game, is that the bigger your business gets, the number of modules you offer as a common space, also has to increase. The common modules, are places of exchange, of displaying the newest discoveries, of collaborations and learning. The biggest businesses should focus the most on the proces of learning and research. examples of occupying the space

About the project
2017 1 week Oana Simionescu, Bogdan Demetrescu Timisoara, Romania The theme of the verification project, was to search solutions of bringing back the industry (4.0 industry) in the same place with the place where people live. Therefore, the project had to accomodate a working area, a daytime and a night time area, for a family with one child.
Architecture and technology, are two fields that always intersect and grow together. Therefore, arhictecture should always be ready for change and innovation. Industry is comming back to the insdides of the city, and architecture must adapt and offer new possibilities of reconsidering it. This time we are talking about a clean industry, where machines and robots meet the creative domain. People fous on the creative process, while machines do the execution. The project proposes a groundfloor that is dedicated to work, creative process and meetings. It is a free space, without walls, the only partition is given by the main tube, that incorporates techincal functions. The garden also has a different number of zones and activities such as gardening or outdoor cinema. At the 1st level, there are the functions for living. Daytime area is in relation with the garden, and the bedrooms are situated towards the street. A bufferzone has been incorporated, between the spaces and the street. At the 1st floor it provides a distance from the street, and ads ore privacy, while at the groundfloor it works as an interface for the activities that take place in the workshop

About the project
2016 Ioana Stan, Alexandra Vitan Oana Simionescu, Bogdan Demetrescu Timisoara, Romania The project theme aimed to analyse, redesign and rethink both the way the Architecture Faculty of Timisoara looks and works as a building, but also the programme and timetable.
The stages of the project involved a very detailed and close anylises of the disfunctionalities of both the Univesiry Campus, where the university is situated, the way it works as a building, and the way it works as an institution, the relationships it establishes with other institutions, and how visible it is. We questioned at the same time the prorgramme, the timetable and the stucture of the univesity cycle. The second step was creating a strategy and a personal view of how the faculty should change, and who are the main actors that should contribute in this change. In the end there was an architectural proposal, meant to facilitate the social, cultural, and programme changes that we found important to make. We proposed a new addition on the top of the old building, which would mark the faculty’s presence in the city as well as a new entrance in the building, to facilitate the relationship between the interior space and the public space. Also, the interior classes and repartitions were changed. It was therefore a very interesting exercise of learning to understand an existing building, its problems and the measures that must be taken in order to transform it in a better place where students can develop the skills of a performant architecture school. At the end of the semester, the project was nominated among the 2 best projects of the year, and was presented to the University President.

Wooden Church Restoration
Year : Tutors : Location :
2016 Biserici Inlemnite din Banat Crivina de Sus, Romania
Wooden Church of Banat, is a group of architects and landscape architects, who have been working for 4 years on the interventions for the Church in Crivina. Focusing also on the context, the village life and social aspect of a restauration project, the workshop takes place during summer, and grows every year. About the project
Since 2015, the church received a protection structure, as the roof was badly damaged, and rain affected the interior of the church. The workshop of 2016 focused on removing the wood of the roof, in order to be replaced. In addition it’s been done a very close analysis of the elements of the church, their form and signs, to understand better the way they were put together, and the kind of traditional tools that were used.
