No commissions, yet a will to solve essential needs
Work in progress, but already showing concrete results
Public space, heritage, community building, alternative to destruction, art centers
A conference on “positive shortcuts” - a selection of independent urban projects from the last years in Romania. All examples started without a formal commission and are based on cooperation and the will to solve essential needs. They range form public space refurbishment and community action in extremely poor neighbourhoods, to independent art centres, alternative proposals for destructive urban operations, first aid to abandoned architectural heritage, design for sustainable tourism to post-industrial regeneration through sexy architecture and the clever use of market forces.
