It is not a speech, it is a discussion
The house is in the woods
It's a road through the mass of trees to a metal grid.
It takes you out of the way and gives you direction.
It's this object, almost perfectly airtight.
- House stung with a syringe -
A gesture of sting, a transporteur.
What happens when you get inside?
So, in some terms, it's duality,
but not central.
It's a functional hierarchy on the right sides -
Left slingshot,
his right stone.
I didn't talk about the cross
and it is the structure of the house.
Neither the pillar nor the wall.
It has a center, and water, and it has fire,
And they are all places of the house.
And it has a ladder that takes you up,
on the slab.
But what would functional mean?
Countertop of 60, door of 80, step of 170?
The century of 100?
Or will it be a little more?
It seems not.
A structural cross with a center
tied to an inner core,
where nature stands: water, fire and earth.
To the right of the cross is a large bathroom,
with saunas, pools and erotic massage.
To the left of the cross is the house -
the yard, the beds and the kitchen.
And the rest is just space,
which you fill with light.
And with people.
And the conclusion? Isn't it really anterior?
Or is it too rigid?
Isn't this house damaged,
because it has no broken corners?
- Nichita, bring the hammer!
AAB2020 / Jury’s Comment
An architecture in which poetry is a space generator, a constructed metaphor projecting us in a heterotopia whose meanings are revealed together with the internalized experimentation of the atmosphere and the fantasies that animate it. / O arhitectură în care poezia este generatoare de spațiu, metafora construită proiectându-ne într-o heterotopie ale cărei sensuri se relevă o dată cu experimentarea, interiorizată, a atmosferei și fantasmelor ce o animă. (Lorin Niculae)
A design office model for mentoring, involving and promoting architecture students . The young architects were stimulated to dream, to build metaphors and to carve architectural poems. An approach that goes beyond the subject and object of the study, but generates ideas and feeds the imagination. / Un model de mentorat, de implicare și promovare a studenților arhitecți din partea biroului de proiectare. Tinerii arhitecți au fost stimulați să viseze, să construiască metafore și să cizeleze poezii arhitecturale. O abordare care depășește subiectul și obiectul studiului, dar generează idei și hrănește imaginația. (Ileana Tureanu)
The abstract theory of space intertwined with the poetry of the route spiced with controlled images. A recipe that doesn't fail. / Teoria abstractă a spațiului împletită cu poezia traseului condimentată cu imagini controlate. O rețetă ce nu dă greș. (Marius Miclaus)
Consistency in the poetic approach of the theme. The surprising passion in presentation, atmosphere and concept is perhaps the detail we look for in each personal work or not. It was the spice that transformed the young architect into an “alchemist” of the moment of presentation, impressing through culture, personality and enthusiasm inspired and supported by mentors. The fact that he managed to highlight all this in the draft proposed in this section was appreciated at all stages of the judging. / Coerență în abordarea poetică a temei. Pasiunea surprinzătoare în prezentare, atmosferă și concept este poate detaliul pe care îl căutăm în fiecare lucrare personală sau nu. A fost condimentul care a transformat tânărul arhitect într-un “alchimist” al momentului de prezentare, impresionand prin cultură, personalitate și entuziasmul insuflat și susținut de mentori. Faptul că a reușit să evidențieze toate acestea și în proiectul propus la această secțiune a fost apreciat în toate etapele jurizării. (Daniela Maier)
