Cristina Constantin and Cosmin Pavel, both architects (UAUIM 2005) have completed their PhD in Architecture at UAUIM in 2012 and 2014. Since 2007 they are working as ABRUPTARHITECTURA, an architectural practice focused on the topic of the domestic topos and finding familiarity in the built context. At the same time, Cristina and Cosmin have been teaching at UAUIM since 2005, in the design studio in Bucharest and Sibiu, being concerned about an education that encourages a well suited approach of the given context that architecture works with.
