The Măldărești area is known for its rich built cultural heritage, including historical landmarks and traditional rural households. The region retains a strong cultural identity rooted in Romanian craftsmanship. A proposal for a new Center for Innovation and Research in Traditional Crafts addresses the decline in specialists for traditional building techniques. The center aims to preserve and transmit traditional crafts while appealing to younger generations, creating a bridge between heritage and contemporary practices. The design draws inspiration from traditional Romanian household layouts to foster engagement with rural life and its crafts.
"My intention was for this center to be more than just a place for practicing traditional crafts; I envisioned it as a space where visitors can authentically experience rural life, within a setting that evokes the atmosphere of a traditional household."
"I believe that only through such direct engagement can one truly understand and appreciate the meaning behind each traditional craft."
