Workshop for children “De-a Arhitectura”

As every year, there will be workshops on the agenda, in collaboration with De-a Arhitectura, dedicated to the little ones who have an important word to say in the city planning processes.

“De-a Arhitectura” Association is organizing on the 3rd of October 2020, the workshop entitled “Cele 9 vieți ale unei clădiri” (“The 9 lives of a building”) in collaboration with the Romanian Order of Architects – Timiș Territorial Branch, Beta – Timișoara Architecture Biennial and RETIM Ecologic Service SA. The workshop is conducted by architect Cristina Dumitrescu and teacher Felicia Popovici.

In how many ways does a house live? How many times and for whom? Once is enough? Through handmade crafts, drawing and exchange of ideas, we invite children to imagine, express and find solutions for some possible future lives of a building or its parts, selecting and reconstructing them, by their own criterias and priorities.

Age group: 9 -12 years
The event is free of charge and has a limited number of 20 places.

Registrations for this event will be made within the limit of the 20 available places, by filling in .

 

The event will take place according to the current situation and in compliance with the rules regarding physical distancing and for preventing the spread of COVID-19.

 

De-a Arhitectura working group was set up in 2011, when the six founding members gathered together to write the “ De-a arhitectura [Playing architecture] in my city” course. The working group operated until January 2013 as part of the cultural project of the  Romanian Chamber of Architects – Bucharest  Branch. During this period, the group managed to test this new study subject in seven schools from Bucharest, with the help of eight volunteer architects.
RETIM Ecologic Service SA is a waste management company established in 1997. The company has an ANRSC Class I License for the public sanitation service of the localities and is TÜV certified according to the integrated quality, environment, health and occupational safety management system. Currently RETIM Ecologic Service SA has over 900 employees and serves a total of approximately 700,000 citizens in Timiş and Arad counties. The company also manages the Non-Hazardous Waste Landfill of Timis County. The appreciation of the efforts, but also of the quality of the company’s services materialized through the appointment as national leader in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 in the National Top of companies, realized by the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. RETIM Ecologic Service’s waste management strategy now means another way of collecting household waste, protecting the environment, recovering reusable materials and making a better use of municipal solid waste. In this way, waste management is transformed into resource management, waste becoming a source of raw materials and secondary fuel, with a direct and immediate effect on the environment.
