Revisiting contemporary architecture as contribution: A guide of 21st century Bucharest

Main ideas on which the project proposal is based are : 1. producing a peer production collaborative open access data base for contemporary architecture; 2. proposing a structural visualization method and several modes of mapping and linking information and relevant images; 3. founding and defining a young generation of architectural projects-buildings; 4. gathering an advanced discussion for future architectural design; 5. fabricating new ideas, finding meaning and tendencies through short writings and discussions.

Proposed method is to structure the ideas in a singular concept together with revisiting, reediting and rewriting the team’s manifest Restarting Avant-garde for specific declaration of ideas, making from the specific proposed project an active instrument for a future cultural Bucharest.

In few words, the team members declaration is to connect and reconnect with the School of Architecture / Faculty of Architecture UAUIM Bucharest, to contribute together and on common principles, militate for, activate and enrolling 21st century architecture to European new setups. The project proposal includes also the architects enrolling and contributing through their own projects to mapping a guide of 21st century Bucharest. keywords: contemporary architecture, Bucharest, cultural capital, 21st century architecture guide.
