a distinguished space, a captivating atmosphere, a unique perception of emotion, a play in which the "curtain" plays the main role, having the transforming power of our lives. — roxana stănescu —
as the moon tenderly envelops the sun's disk, the vibrant light of the solar corona unveils its radiance, offering a rare spectacle in which the entire cosmic system takes part.
scenographic space, with diffusely lit complementary shades; playfully completed in time and space by the power of the stars.
sunrises and sunsets with mystical dances of lights and shadows, preparing for long-awaited moments that have become reality.
the moment of closeness, of maximum timeless celestial love that gives rise to the astronomical phenomenon: “eclipse”. — roxana stănescu —
urban scenographies
in this urban space, every corner becomes a stage, a scenographic frame, in which any of us has the opportunity to perform in a new play; choreographing the rhythm of time, embracing the essence of the constructed elements, gracefully shaping the future by integrating the dynamic flow of life. — roxana stănescu —
much like a subtle alchemy, each constructed element manifests itself through the emotions it evokes, becoming a catalyst for inner change, coordinating a harmonious variety of personal expressions in an ever-evolving urban landscape of the human existence. — roxana stănescu—
at the open stage, it gracefully presents the shape of future time, and the transition of the rhythmic pattern transformed thanks to the emotion perceived through the essence of the built elements. — roxana stănescu —
architecture didn't change history, architecture is the witness of it, and the presence of the past is the key to future knowledge.
the perspective of a new order or neo-romanian charm weaves with the manifestation of authentic experiences, leading this space into a future scenario of challenging moments that attest to the power of time in shaping matter.
the graphic presence of geometric rhythms characteristic of smarandescu architecture is proof of the technological performances that bring value to the human environment. — roxana stănescu —
more than a two-level apartment and more than an interior design guided by moods, emotions, impressions, and tastes.
it is a fluid universe of continuities and essences; a message from parents to the next generation, a message gradually revealed to children over time.
more concretely, a living scenario for a lifetime, for several, accompanying and mirroring each age.
are we really becoming adults or are we just children ageing?
some scientist state that, the two core elements that our intellect is being built on, are curiosity, an intrinsic drive to observe and experience new things, and imagination, translated into the ability to work with hypothetical content, things and information that are not in front of us. and where else can one study curiosity better than in children’s activity and particularly in their play? peter otis gray said that “there’s two aspects of education: knowledge and skills. curiosity is how children acquire knowledge, play is how they acquire skills… curiosity, playfulness, sociability, these are the ways that children educate themselves when we give them the freedom to do that.”
so, what truly drives our desire to observe and understand the world we are living in? It seems that curiosity is an intrinsic trait of the human nature and the core pillar of intelligence. curiosity is also the factor that drives the intellectual investment, which determines when, where, and how people assign their time and effort in their intellect.
when it comes to imagination, there is no doubt that humans conquered the planet in the most fascinating way. while scientists are still struggling to define the preeminence that we’ve had among other species, some of the most obvious traits that are taking human surviving skills to the next level are intelligence and cooperation. regarding its’ intelligence, it might be important to examine man’s ability to note the consequences of his own actions, much like a cat throwing things off a table. by mixing observation and imagination, we are able to program the results of our actions to be independent of our physical presence upon a specific target and with a certain outcome, like hunting animals using traps and programming crops, thus ensuring humanity an increasing living standard.
with this in hand, we challenge the viewer to dive into an exciting exercise of graphic expression that triggers imagination and curiosity. by displaying a series of images and specifically setting them on one edge, we create a state of mental tension, a short moment of suspense: is it just before a perfect stabilization or a total and imminent collapse? — matei cristian —

what could it all mean?
does it have to mean anything? does a kids’ play mean something?
the play exists for itself and once it’s over, new rules can be set. the same objects, different participants, different moments, different outcomes, each time a new way to communicate, to develop skills, to acquire new traits, to build healthy relationships and to disconnect and reconnect.
“playful learning is meaningful when it links new experiences”.
play builds brains.
just play !

“we are looking for features that have multiple meanings, never fixed in one direction; a bridge between trends in the field and the profile of the beneficiary living in an imaginary present…the imagined architectural space acquires a modeling character, imprinting time and perception." — igloo —
