Arts and Crafts Centre at the Transylvanian architectural Biennial

The Barta 2017 Transylvanian Architectural Biennial was held in Cluj between 7 and 15 October, organised by the Romanian Order of Architects, Transylvania Branch. During this period an international jury composed of Borislav IGNATOV as president, Georgeta GABREA, Oana SIMIONESCU, Pedro RAVARA, and Francesco FRESA, awarded the prizes of the Biennial in eight categories.

We are proud to announce that in the category of Interior Architecture and Scenography the prize was awarded to Alexandru FLEȘERIU and PÉTER Eszter from NORMA for the Refame project implemented at Bánffy Castle during the setup of the Arts and Crafts Centre.

The jury, during the selection process, appreciated the exceptional quality of the ensuing atmosphere and the recognition and care for the spatial qualities of the architectural context, as well as the attentive selection of the intervention elements in view of the mentioned values.
