Open exhibition: Identity and Culture 3.
On the 5th of May we had the honour to open the third part of the Identity and Culture exhibition, entitled New landscapes, new dimensions, together with Cicelle Gaul and Zsolt Vasáros, professors of the Department of Industrial and Agricultural Building Design (of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics). This year’s projects really brought some fresh air into the atmosphere, as now the architecture-students had the opportunity to integrate two new Roman sites.
The first one was the Roman watchtower on the Tompa Hill, where the limes and the World War I trenches are going parallel, very close to each other. The main task was to present these very similar defensive lines in a way that also shows the centuries-old differences. The other site was the Roman fort of Brâncovenești, where one had to integrate into the plan the medieval castle as well.
The projects turned out really interesting and nice, with lots of great new ideas regarding the possibilities of integrating these sites into the current cultural landscape.
So, if you’re interested, come and see the mock-ups and plans in the exhibition hall of the Mureș County Museum from the Castle, until the 30th of May!
