The conference aims to celebrate 20 years since the Faculty of Interior Architecture foundation, gathering academics, professionals and profile institutions in order to debate the new paradigm of architecture, urbanism and design in an interdisciplinary and interconnected perspective.
Sections
Architectural Education
Architectural education is a flexible yet complex field of study, therefore defining its limits and methods represents a challenge for academics and researchers alike.
TOPICS: the roles of curricula, artificial intelligence (AI) challenges, teaching methodologies, tendencies of the architectural profession and interdisciplinarity.
PURPOSES: creating an international strategic network, encouraging the exchange of methodologies and educational research, and debating visions on the further development of the academic field in architecture, urban planning and design.
Conference moderators: Lecturer arch. Daniel N. Armenciu (Faculty of Interior Architecture), Assoc. Prof. arch. Bogdan Fezi (Faculty of Architecture) and Prof. arch. Angelica Stan (Faculty of Urban Planning)
Secretary: Lecturer. arch. Cristina Maria Chira

Perception on Architecture
Space can be decoded through senses, generating connections between human beings, their needs, uses and the built environment, therefore research on this topic is indispensable.
TOPICS: universal design, healing architecture, the use of senses in understanding architecture, arguments on bio-architecture (wellbeing, biophilia, eco-design, etc.) and a cultural approach to sustainability.
PURPOSES: integrating the human being in the narrative of the architectural and urban design process.
Conference moderators: Lecturer arch. Codruța Iana (Faculty of Interior Architecture), Lecturer arch. Mihaela Zamfir (Faculty of Architecture) and Prof. arch. Rodica Eftenie (Faculty of Urban Planning)

Techniques and Technology in Architecture
This section encourages discussions on threats and opportunities arising along with the fast development of technology applied in buildings’ design.
TOPICS: smart cities, urban resilience, limits of technology in architecture, architectural vulnerabilities, architecture at risk and the importance of technology applied on buildings’ design (sustainability, circular economy concepts, BIM technologies, VR and digitalization, etc.), technical details integration.
PURPOSES: negotiating the balance between the latest technological developments and their integration into the creative architectural design process.
Conference moderators: Assoc. Prof. arch. Codina Dușoiu (Faculty of Interior Architecture), Lecturer arch. Monica Mureșanu (Faculty of Architecture) and Assoc. Prof. arch. Claudiu Runceanu (Faculty of Urban Planning)

Monuments and Historical Traces
Given the fact that the built heritage is at risk due to a lack of knowledge, interest and preservation, this section wants to highlight studies, research and design projects which are looking not only into the regeneration of the urban tissue but also into regaining the lost identity of the place.
TOPICS: archaeological remains, heritage, disappeared artifacts, traces of war, reuse, restoration and conservation, urban archaeology, archaeological risk charts, landscape heritage, urban transformations.
PURPOSES: understanding and integrating heritage in the collective knowledge of the city, the use of memory in recreating the dialogue between built remains, communities and landscapes.
Conference moderators: Assoc. Prof. arch. Oana Diaconescu (Faculty of Interior Architecture), Assoc. Prof. arch. Horia Moldovan (Faculty of Architecture) and Assoc.Prof. arch. Mihaela Hărmănescu (Faculty of Urban Planning)

Re-Imagining Design
Design has always been a complex phenomenon encompassing not only a diverse intersection of art, engineering, and architecture but also highlighting the need of constantly redefining the profession of the designer.
TOPICS: design interdisciplinarity, design history, product and industrial design, graphic design, design methodologies, design thinking, social innovation through design, democratic design, Human centered design, universal design, inclusive design, BIM modelling, GIS.
PURPOSES: redefine the role of the designer and the way this profession can shape the future through the use tools, techniques and knowledge.
