On February 13, the second edition of the SHARE Chisinau International Architecture Forum will take place. The previous edition brought together over 300 professionals, and the current edition will have speakers from the UK, Israel, the Netherlands, Turkey, Romania and Moldova, IPN reports.
According to the founder of SHARE Architects, Florin Mindirigiu, any professional in the field of architecture, construction, urban planning or investment, whether from the public or private sector, should not miss this meeting. “Our invitation is open to all professionals and lovers of architecture who want to develop their perspective on what matters today in architecture”, said Florin Mindirigiu in an interview with IPN.
The second edition of the forum in Chisinau will focus on the concept of sustainability in residential architecture and urban planning, highlighting projects that ensure aesthetic, sustainable and inclusive lifestyles. Among the speakers of the event are Iurie Povar, president of the Moldovan Union of Architects; Emil Ivanescu, president of the Romanian Order of Architects, the Bucharest subsidiary; Șerban Țigănaș, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Cluj- Technical University Napoca; and many others.
Urban regeneration is also an important theme of the forum, to which a series of case studies presented by important international offices will be dedicated. “In Eastern Europe, the general processes of urban development are characterized by certain common trends, which reflect a delicate balance between modernization, preservation of cultural heritage and adaptation to socio-economic changes,” said Florin Mindirigiu.
According to him, SHARE Architects aims to discover and capitalize on the untapped potential of architects from Central and South-Eastern Europe, thus contributing to strengthening their presence and influence at the European and global level. “Chisinau and the Republic of Moldova can benefit from this partnership through access to an extensive network of professionals and through the opportunity to get involved in discussions and projects of international scope in the field of architecture”, added Florin Mindirigiu.
The mission of SHARE Architects is focused on promoting communication, sharing and exchange of values, knowledge and best practices in architecture. Over the past 26 years, the SHARE Architects forums have become an important networking platform for architects and entrepreneurs in Central and South-Eastern Europe. SHARE Architects events are currently held in 16 countries and have developed a community of over 50,000 professionals.
