An architectural project cannot truly be called architecture unless it is grounded in a concept — an idea that transcends form and gives it meaning.

About

Andreea Oara
"An architectural project cannot truly be called architecture unless it is grounded in a concept."

My passion for architecture began in childhood, copying my father's topography drawings — fascinated by the ability of playfulness. That early curiosity gradually evolved into a deeper search of mine for art, especially during my studies at the High School of Arts, where I specialised in architecture.

It was there that I first began to truly understand architecture. Towards the end of high school, I discovered architectural theory, and I was struck by how much depth lay beneath the surface of built form. Since then, I have come to believe that an architectural project cannot truly be called architecture unless it is grounded in a concept — an idea that transcends form and gives it meaning.

Currently studying at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, with an Erasmus semester at HafenCity University, Hamburg.
