Radu Teacă: “As far as I am concerned, I try my best, just like any other architect, to find expressions that are as new and fresh as possible within the creative conventions of architecture and to achieve an optimal balance between these expressions and the non-artistic pressures on my art. Through the purity of lines, I sought to attain the simplicity I have always longed for and never stopped looking for.”
Through her work, Andreea Marinescu tries to understand the essence of things, resulting in a ”restrained” design sustained by details, materials, textures, light, fluidity and sensibility. For her as an architect, interior design and architecture are one and the same thing. She believes that one cannot exist without the other. When starting an architecture project, she ends by designing a piece of furniture or a small object that needs to be integrated.
2018 // Apartment in Brașov
The project was circumscribed to the idea of transforming an existing space, situated in an important residential complex in Brașov, with its own flaws: pillars outside the planes of the walls, installation ducts, beams, doors and windows in abundance and randomly placed, into an apartment meant to emanate the intention of a volitive act (where the “necessity” dictated by the structure and the technical services is diluted as much as possible) regarding the fluidity of the spaces, surfaces and materials.
All “accidents” mentioned above were concealed through the intervention with claddings and built-in furniture so as the rooms to be defined in the end by simple rectangular forms, forms which also contribute in highlighting the furniture, the audio-video installation, composed of objects which have by themselves an aesthetic value.
