Arhitext Design Foundation is looking for partners, e.g. governmental and non-governmental organisations, foundations or constituted groups, active in the fields of architecture, the built environment, or other collateral fields, to participate in a project that will be developed as a process of critical exploration, survey, evaluation and dissemination of contemporary architecture.

Organization: Arhitext Design Foundation

Since 1990, the Arhitext magazine and the Arhitext Design Foundation constantly survey the architectural and urban phenomenon in Romania and abroad. Their constant aim was to foster a new cultural climate in post-socialist Romania, opening multiple paths of mutual knowledge between East and West. Their actions were always guided by an interdisciplinary mindset: they are committed to a comprehensive and critical approach towards contemporary society and culture, constantly working to identify valuable architectural creations, to investigate their general context, and to disseminate information and critical thought about local building culture.

Project

The project will be developed as a process of critical exploration, survey, evaluation and dissemination of contemporary architecture from Central and Eastern European countries. From mid-2018, a dynamic series of preliminary steps, conceived together with our partners, will allow the deployment of two base modules, enhanced by a series of variable events: exhibitions, keynote speakers conferences, open debates, thematic workshops (involving practitioners and students alike). All those events will be coordinated with the future partners, which will be able to propose their own curatorial concept for specific series of activities.
