Testimonial Henrieke en Wim from the Netherlands
12 April 2019 • TestimonialsSince 2019 we live in Bucharest. Before we moved to the city, we didn't know anything about Bucharest and we had no idea of the pros and cons of the various locations and neighborhoods. Isfahan and Violetta helped us getting a view on all the different options and made a selection of apartments that were available before our migration. They arranged two afternoons filled with the viewing of different houses, negotiated about the price and as the result of that we now live in a great apartment on a beautiful location. Begin 2019 zijn wij in Boekarest komen wonen. Vooraf kenden we de stad totaal niet en we hadden geen idee van de voor-/nadelen van verschillende locaties en buurten in de stad. Isfahan en Violetta hebben ons onwijs geholpen bij de oriëntatie en hebben een mooie selectie gemaakt uit het grote aanbod aan appartementen. Na twee strak geplande middagen vol bezichtigingen hebben we een topplek gevonden waar we ons heel erg thuis voelen!

Drumul Taberei: Utopia Interrupted. What happened to the ideal Modernist city on the edge of Bucharest

Architects of the Extreme How the planning of Communist blocks in Bucharest changed from a western vision of functional housing to a sabotage of the city
13 September 2018 • NewsTo an outsider, Bucharest is a sea of uniform blocks that hustle and crush a pre-World War II city - a totalitarian nightmare encroaching on a low-level European town of rusting roofs, cracking walls and crumbling plaster. But the Romanian capital has lived through different ages of development since the Communists seized control in 1946. What started as a western-inspired Modernist vision, fuelled by the enthusiasm of young architects, changed to a cataclysmic raid on the urban environment, leaving the city fractured and traumatised. After a Revolution in 1989 kicked out the Communist regime, the city has operated only as a caretaker to its stockpile of concrete hulks, and has failed to draw up a consistent plan for urban development.
