In response to the growing interest in sustainable redevelopment and cultural reclamation of post-industrial sites, the interdisciplinary project explores Romania’s post-industrial landscapes, architecture and communities.

The project will connect architects, anthropologists, artists, and environmental historians across Europe in order to examine the legacies of Romania’s post-industrial heritage. The European practitioners, selected through an open call, will immerse themselves in various locations across Romania, after being matched with local organisations to gain insights into the challenges and potential of these spaces. Local partnerships will connect the participants with local communities to grow cultural and civic access and participation. Drawing from themes such as deindustrialisation, environmental recovery, and cultural memory, the multi-residency project will foster a deeper understanding of post-industrial landscapes. The final outcome of the project will be co-created by participants to respond to local needs and reflect the knowledge, good practices and meaningful partnerships generated by the project.
