Honourary chairman of the 13th edition of Romania's National Architecture Biennial Romeo Belea believes that this edition represents a small revolution in looking at this event in the life of architects.
According to chair of the Union of Romania's Architects Ileana Tureanu, this year's biennale has 11 sections, as against six in the previous editions: residential architecture; architecture of public buildings; restoration, strengthening; buildings returned to the city; interior design; intrusive public space; the countryside; green architecture and alternative energy; diplomas for budding architects; architectural publications; architectural photography; architectural event and the streets as a stage. These will be held for the first time simultaneously in eight cities in the country: Bucharest, Braila, Cluj, Constanta, Iasi, Oradea, Sibiu, Targu Mures, said Tureanu.
She noted in particular the restoration section, scheduled to take place this autumn at the Constanta Casino; the architectural photography event to be hosted by Targu Mures; the diplomas event in Sibiu; the architectural publications event to be held in Iasi, and the rural architecture one in Cluj-Napoca.
The National Biennial of Architecture is the most important professional event of the architect's guild, and it has been organised uninterruptedly since 1994 by the Union of Romania's Architects.
