„Enough is Enough” Exhibition

We are glad to have the opening event of Beta 2020 edition in the space dedicated to the main event of the biennial – Enough is Enough exhibition. The opening events starts at 6.30 pm.
The evening will continue with a series of short presentations by the organisers, the curators and the partners who will talk about the programme and exhibition. All of these will be highlighted by artistic representations and a proper team. The event is organized together with Aethernativ.

This exhibition presents dozens of projects—local and international—by architects who say “Enough is Enough.” They’ve had enough of waiting for top-down solutions, and they’re finding ways to make do with what we have: why use too much when enough will do? Their work highlights methods for treating our planet with respect and responsibility—toward the environment, toward the economy, toward society as a whole.

Beta 2020 will address the theme of responsibility for the present and future built and yet unbuilt environment, in an attempt to become a platform that articulates a position towards the ever increasing pressures (ecological, social, cultural, economic etc) that the construction sector generates.

Anca is currently a teaching assistant at the University of Architecture and Urbanism ’Ion Mincu’ in Bucharest. In 2011, Anca Cioarec co-founded Stardust Architects together with Brîndușa Tudor – searching for poetic experiences in the process of design, aiming to slow down the automatic use of everyday objects and spaces by creating moments of silence, presence or wonder. Their interests focuses on questioning the current forms of architectural education, practice and dissemination, formulating and testing alternative ways through students workshops, competitions and self generated initiatives. They have been nominated and awarded in the national scene of architecture annuals and biennials and they have been curating students workshops like BAUBAU – Bauhaus 100 București along with the Goethe Institut and Zeppelin investigating the built modernist heritage with an interdisciplinary team of tutors and students.

Brîndușa Tudor has studied architecture at the University of Architecture and Urbanism ’Ion Mincu’ in Bucharest. She is interested in architecture without architects and she is currently a doctoral student, researching the urban neovernacular in Bucharest after 1989. Until recently, she was a teaching assistant at the University of Architecture and Urbanism ’Ion Mincu’ in Bucharest. After a series of collaborations, such as the involvement in the Calup project – a bottom-up initiative that aimed to reactivate vacant built heritage through temporary scenarios – Brîndușa Tudor and Anca Cioarec co-founded Stardust Architects in 2011. Their interests focuses on questioning the current forms of architectural education, practice and dissemination, reformulating and testing alternative ways through students workshops, competitions and self generated initiatives. They have designed the Romanian Pavilion for the UIA Congress 2017, in Seoul, South Korea with the project “Topophilia”, an immersive experience in the Delta Văcărești Natural Park in the attempt to talk about the soul of Bucharest through panoramic projections, sounds and objects and questioning the absence of human intervention and renaturalization as a form of place healing. They have also won the competition for designing the “Mesteshukar ButiQ” – a social enterprise working on revaluing traditional Roma craftsmanship and building a bridge between local craftsmen and contemporary designers.
