Description The first phase of the project envisages the revival of a derelict industrial complex from the interwar period through a project for the functional conver-sion and expansion of the “Filaret Electricity Plant” into a science museum. The second phase (presented in the portfolio) is about the interior design of the plant. The first step was to create a design scenario for the entire en-semble. Considering that the building is a monument,we opted for a “double-Sskinned" approach of the interior and the preservation of the exterior,which means that we do not interfere,but we decouple the interior intervention from the existing hall. You can see that, on the one hand, we have separated the walls of the exhibition space from the old hall and created a series of boxes to house temporary exhibitions with different themes,and on the other hand the proposed exterior extension preserves the proportions and architectural language of the whole ensemble. We have also preferred fo use traditional industrial materials to convey to the visitor respectfor the existing heritage: Corten,copper,leather,wood, etc. The next step of the project was fo select a relevant area of the project fo design in detail. More specifically, if is an ex-hibition area with 3 scientific areas and an interaction area for educational activities. 2

Description The site is located in the former “Match Factory of Bucharest”, which was opened during the reign of King Carol the 2nd and has an industrial interwar character. The theme of the project was fo propose a function that could reactivate this deprived area, as if has lacked investment over the last 30 years and Is in a constant state of degradation. | assumed that Filaret sta-tion (the first railway station in Bucharest)would reopen and become one of the intermodal hubs of the city. So, the proximity to the middle ring of Bucharest Viilor and the reopening of Filaret station argue for its transfor-mation info an urban pole.For this reason, have proposed a business center that includes a range of public functions such as food, retail or leisure. The ensemble of the former match factory is not a monument, but the principle was fo preserve and functionally transform the valuable elements and harmo-niously integrate them into the new architectural proposal. In terms of archi-tectural volumetry, | proposed a continuous street frontage on Fabrica de Chibrituri street and four block-like buildings arranged parallel to this conti-nuous frontage (acting as an organizing element) that all together are cre-ating a certain rhythm of the newly proposed architectural ensemble. | also tried to emphasize the quality of “public” by proposing a free ground floor on

Description It is the first airport built in Romania after the 1989 revolution, serving Brasov, one of the country’s most important cities.When | started working on this project, the construction was af an advanced stage. My tasks were more related to the interior design of the building or detailing certain areas of the airport, by comple-ting existing plans or making execution level drawings that were useful on the construction site. Specifically,my tasks included: 1. designing one of the outdoor terraces by proposing furniture and installing lighting fixtures; 2. furnishing the kitchen of the first floor of the airport; 3. object design by proposing a personalized pot for the public spaces of the airport; 4. detailing the important public spaces from the ground floor of the airport by making execution level drawings, detailing the used building materials, positioning advertising boards and proposing a wall design in line with the airport concept; 5. detailing and providing a functional solution for the restrooms on the ground floor and basement by making technical drawings in which | marked the position of the sanitary furniture (together with mounting dimensions), the wall materials and their technical features. 20

Description From a technical and compositional point of view, the project proposes a facility that takes advantage of the local recreational potential of Piatra Fantanele village,offering users a place of recreation for leisure, with various attractions for all categories of users, regardless of age.The starting point of the concept is the fact that the statue park forms a monument of constellations, together with several steps from which spectators can watch a show of movement, light-ing and sound. On this park is already an obelisk with a cross on fop, which makes if a special place. Before | worked in this office, my colleagues proposed to design the park with 12 statues, 9 vertical and 3 horizontal. The vertical sta-tues were fo be placed on personalized lifts and the horizontal statues were to be static. However, if was concluded that these lifts were too expensive for the client's budget and used a lot of electricity, so the entire landscaping pro-posal was redrawn. In the new proposal, which | worked with my colleague Mihai Popeanga,| replaced the elevators with fixed concrete bases at different heights, so that the horizontals were at the same level. The principle was to place the tall statues in the lower parts of the hill and the smaller ones in the high parts of this slope, but also to move the existing resting steps at the top of the hill, so that a descending image of the whole architectural composition is obtained. The principles of our proposed design are to diversify local recreational oppor-tunities by ensuring a variety of attractions. 28

Description
!
The gradual closure of industry in the 1990s led to the formation of numerous areas of social exclusion and ghetto-like communities in Romania.The site of my diploma project is located in the Bucharest district of Ferentari, on the property of the Salaj Commercial Complex, at the intersection of Salaj Road and Humulesti Street, in a problematic area, both from a social and built environment point of view. Some factories were closed in the 90s in Romania, and the apartments were workers lived were occupied by homeless people,for whom the local administration provided in time.This type of action led to a gradual overcrowding of the dwellings and, aS a consequence, fo an increased deteriorization.The diploma project aim fo revitalize,
through
several
interventions,
both
a run-down
area
in the
Ferentari
neighborhood and fo reactivate if as a social center. This project proposes a public Space intervention whose identity will be developed together with the community and will meet the needs of users in the Ferentari neighborhood (the poorest nei-ghborhood in Bucharest), and the Salaj neighborhood respectively. The space will also have a sustainable component, as if will change its destination according fo the development of the area in the coming years.! propose to demolish the existing buildings of the Salaj complex and design a multifunctional public building that will be a new landmark for the district and will be located in the visual axis of Salaj Street. 33
