Tempo_Venice Architecture Biennale
Venice / Italy / 2013
2nd prize at the national competition for the Romanian pavilion.
The 2014 Venice Bienalle theme wishes to highlight the way in which world architecture was modified by all the social, political, technological and cultural factors that led to a gradual loss of national identity and the standardization of contemporary architecture regardless of cultural or geographical background.
Romanian architecture from 1914 to 2014 is marked by two strong desires:
1. The need to belong to the international architectural stage
2. The need to mark national identity
This rapid tandem generated by these two desires explains the rapid transformation of Romanian architecture where quick adaptation to new ideas meets a permanent nostalgia for an idealized past, a national tempo.
This idea is materialized in the project with two elements:
1. A tangible passage through the modifications brought in Romanian architecture as a result of international cultural influences through the effect brought by our national filter and rhythm.
2. The second element is a peripheral graphic that presents a collection of photographs, sketches and video recordings the exemplify the transformation showing the main Romanian architectural examples of the last hundred years.
The proposed passage materializes this tempo using a virtual compass that presents the geo-political influences that seeps into Romanian architecture through our national filter and the modifications they bring to the development of national architecture.
The project was realised in collaboration with Amprenta Studio team and the renderings made by Arch. Stefan Catalin.
