Masterplan Ghiroda (work project) Ghiroda is a small town near Timisoara (3rd biggest city in Romania) and Traian Vuia Airport.

The masterplan has to deliver a uniform concept that can create a link between Ghiroda and Giarmata Vii - two small villages that have a unique administration.

During this project, I worked with the transport infrastructure, green spaces, handling both new and old plots, designing new spaces and solving problems on different scales. (ex. minimizing the harsh limits created by the railway and industrial plots, street design, public space design, construction guide for individual housing etc.)

In the last 10 years, Timisoara secured its place as one of the most important cities in Romania. This position came together with the need to expand the city and fight the inefficient development towards urban sprawl.

This project suggests a different way to extend the city, while also respecting the already built environment that is in proximity.

The entire new neighborhood is developed along a green area that is protecting the old water trench. Functions like residential, commercial, health & office are planned.

After a larger analysis and a general strategic proposal, a detailed plan for a small public space had to be developed. A new coffee shop, playground and temporary wooden parking space are proposed to reclaim the space now used for ground-level parking.

Scoala Ginamaziala 24

Circumvalatiunii is one of the most dense neighborhoods in Timisoara, built during communism, between 1970-1990. It is based on s oviet urban planning, but during the last two decades, it started losing its identity.

Urban Accupuncture (competitions & workshops)

Most extra small projects have been part of competitions (ex.

Com’on Timisoara - winner, Lays Competition - winner) or workshops like Reprogramming the City (part of Timisoara 2021 European Capital of Culture) and LightEdu (part of the Timisoara Architecture Biennial).

I’ve worked both at designing and implementing those projects together with my team members.
