Alexandra Teodor

Short CV

(b. 1984) Architect by formation, built heritage researcher with fourteen years of didactic experience on architectural history and heritage interventions; specialized in archaeological heritage – initiated with the dissertation & diploma project (2009), and later extended with PhD (2014), both focused on the Roman urban settlements in Dobruja (Romania). More consistent experience with the practical side of the domain was gained during the implication in The Ambulance for Monuments project, where I’ve coordinate the North Muntenia filiation in 2020 and 2021, but also through various collaborations with specialists from complementary fields – archaeology, historical urbanism and restoration, within the Institute of Archaeology “Vasile Pârvan” (2017-9); Quattro Design (2015); Opus – Architecture studio (2008, probation), all in Bucharest. My latest projects are the NEC postdoctoral research (2022-3, on ancient cities preserved within European modern cities), and co-author of the historical study for the General Urbanistic Plan of Bucharest – the latter coordinated by the employing Department.
