_studio task - bad bank; to adapt properties and qualities of the given term in the project approach_short description of what bad bank represents : bad bank is a term for a nancial institution created to hold nonperforming assets owned by a state guaranteed bank. such institutions have been created to address challenges arising during an economic credit crunch wherein private banks are allowed to take problem assets off their books._no given program_given site, paris, la defense, the end point of the histori-cal axis of paris

_by analysing the site and the main icons on the historical axis of paris, the fact, that there are already the three im-portant arches, was crucial for a challenging idea of creat-ing another arch. _the design, of the yet another arch, was achived through the comparison of the three existing arches on the axis, enough to gain important characteristic elements to start with. [appearence, dimention, material, size, hight] _in a bad bank context, the proposed architectural ob-ject represents a new place of interests next to la defense square, a forgotten place for socializing, but with a big po-tential. a place where happenings and meetings could be favored ; another bad bank characteristic is the sustain-ability of the building [which works by having very cheap of ces for rent and expensive luxurious panoramic restau-rants, big of ces, at the 6 upper oors]. 09

_studio task - conversion of old factories_no given program_given site bucharest, romania

_looking at the urban tissue of the surrounding ar-eas and at the given factories was enough to see the evolution of the site. there was a big difference visible, in terms of building sizes. the bucharestian tissue suffered a lot of changes during the time._the project was approached from this point of view, by researching the given site history. several time periods of the site were analyzed to nd the break of the continuity in the evolution of the urban tissue._three different tissue patterns are used in the project development. a pattern of the trace of the building that were built there before, a pattern of the factories trace, and one of the surface that was never built on. the three of them were overlayed. _the trace of the old houses was extruded and in-tersected with the actual factories. the parts of the factories volumes which were intersected by the old housing extruded trace were removed. each open face that resulted from this intersection is treated as a section, nished with glass curtain. the pattern of the never built on surface becomes the trace for the new proposed buildings, by the time the trace of the old buildings becomes public space. 35

_studio task - revitalization of the given area_given program : sports hall for 3000 spec-tators [due to the site location and its rela-tion to existing sports facilities in the prox-imity, a challenge is to take into account a different approach on how to attract people]_given site : bucharest, romania

_the site is located on an important avenue in bucharest with a long opening to the street. i decided to hide the building behind a big wall on the street side, to arouse the curiosity of people, to make them want to nd out whats not visible._the strong limit to the street is con rmed by having a large opening to a square on the other side. the building is decomposing and in this way its creating different kind of squares and alveolar spaces. _the whole building is a social hub, a shop-ping center, and a meeting place, where all kind of sports are scattered through the entire building [basket, ping pong, dancing, swimming, tness, etc]. the sports hall is in front of the main entrence, a direct contact is unavoidable in the moment people enter the building. 51

_the project challenge was to propose a component based urban furniture, to build a 3d model of it, to think about every single detail[material, joints, screws, etc], and in the end to build a physical model._the design concept was based on human ergonom-ics de nition. more ways of people sitting shapes were researched, and the chairs sections that showed up were lofted._using a 3d component was our own challenge._the components joints had to be analyzed as well, so that no errors appear while building the furniture model._475 different components were needed to build the pro-posed object. 63
