Moldova / Cultural programs. Graduates of the Faculty of Architecture "G.M. Cantacuzino" of Iasi

The cultural programs (cultural centers, museums, media libraries, etc.) are highly appreciated by students as diploma subjects, which can be explained by the freedom of thematic interpretation, greater than in other programs, and by the accentuated spiritual dimension of the basic function. They are also complex programmes which, in addition to their defining function, also have complementary components, ranging from public eating places and commercial facilities to leisure and socializing.

By their very nature, they cover the whole range of problems which the architect is primarily responsible for resolving: location in the built and natural setting of the site; the prioritization, definition and composition of spaces according to the compatibility, incompatibility and semantic differentiation of functions; the architectural path; the interior-exterior relationship; structural conformity and volumetric modeling; expressiveness.

If the students' interest in the program is accompanied by sustained documentation and analysis and a real creative potential, the results can be truly significant.
