Concise explanation of the present

notification:
The current configuration of the academic formation in the field of architecture

is the result of a reform process which takes into consideration the Romanian
tradition of architecture education, the information on the world-wide
modernization of this formation, as well as the collaboration with international
institutions such as UIA-UNESCO, EAAE, ENSHA and with European schools
of architecture.
During the last decade, the evolution of the faculty of architecture has been
marked by several important events:
- The accreditation received from ARACIS from the Ministry of
Education in 1994, 2004 and reconfirmed in 2009;
- The creation, since 2002, of the Restoration Studies Post-graduate
Academic Formation FESRPA part of a European consortium, with a
Franco-Romanian jury, with a diploma recognized in Walonnie and part of
France;
- The creation of the Post-graduate Urban and Public Administration
Academic Formation, since 2005;
- Obtaining the IOSUD qualification (Organizing PhD Studies
Institution) in the field of architecture, since 2009, as part of a consortium
whose other members are the Ion Mincu University of Architecture, Bucharest
and the A.I. Cuza University, Iasi;
The recognition of the diploma granted by the Ion Mincu University (by the
European Parliament Commission, in 2008; by the French Ministry of Culture
as well as the RIBA), stimulates FAU, through its close collaboration with the
Bucharest University in elaborating its curricula, to attain similar recognition.

NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE ARCHITECTS

FORMATION. METHOD AND CONTENT IN THE ACADEMIC PROCESS
August 1st, 2011
Following the recommendations of Directive 36/2005 of the European

Commission for the recognition of professional qualifications, aiming to a high
quality education, presently, there are six main directions to analyze and debate:
1. A new methodology applied to the didactic process (studio, courses,
seminaries, applications) specific to the specializations with numerous students,
and, as a result, a new structure of the curricula for these specializations.
2. The inter-disciplinary dimension as a determining factor in structuring
the curricula of these specializations; it holds an important potential in making
the formation process more efficient, and it may be obtained by structural inter-
disciplinary methods.
3. The re-evaluation and re-consideration of the architects formation in the
design process (formative skills and professional abilities) in the perspective of
sustainability demands; proposing new specific theoretical courses and projects.
4. Re-analyzing the importance and content of the 18 study domains in the
formation of the architect, constantly taking into consideration the evolution and
demands of the professional environment; granting more or less importance to
fields considered to be in need of such reconsiderations (technical formation,
cultural anthropology, urbanism, restoration etc).
5. Making the professional practice more efficient (internships under FAU
coordination at the end of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years and inside architecture
studios in the last three years); these are constantly evaluated in order to
constitute a real preparation for the 2-year professional internship after
graduation;
6. In the perspective of an evolution of the architectural formation in terms
of subventions, in order to become attractive for foreign students to Romanian
Educational institutions, the FESRPA course takes place since 2002 in French,
with French and Romanian members in the jury.

Intention
The present material reflects the educational process and didactic methodology which define the Faculty of
Architecture and Urbanism of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. It has been conceived as a support
for analysis and debate, so that it may strengthen the educational philosophy in the years to come, as well as
the longer term strategies.
The evolution of the school has been marked by several important moments:
- The accreditation received from ARACIS from the Ministry of Education in 1994, 2004 and reconfirmed in
2009;
- The creation, since 2002, of the Restoration Studies Post-graduate Academic Formation FESRPA part of
a European consortium, with a Franco-Romanian jury, with a diploma recognized in Walonnie and part of
France;
- The creation of the Post-graduate Urban and Public Administration Academic Formation, since 2005;
- Obtaining the IOSUD qualification (Organizing PhD Studies Institution) in the field of architecture, since
2009, as part of a consortium whose other members are the Ion Mincu University of Architecture, Bucharest
an the A.I. Cuza University, Iasi;
- The recognition of the diploma granted by the Ion Mincu University (by the European Parliament
Commission, in 2008; by the French Ministry of Culture as well as the RIBA), stimulates FAU, through its
close collaboration with the Bucharest University in elaborating its curricula, to attain similar recognition.
In this spirit, based on the recommendations of Directive 36 of 2005 of this commission, architectural
education has been reviewed and restructured, supported by the basic architect formative skills, agreed upon
by the European Commission. This material reflects changes in the traditional structure of the school. Higher
education of architecture is only part of the training, which in a modern sense, is a continuous process. Thus,
the principle elements regarding the architectural formation in Romanian schools are:
I. Education structure: 1st and second integrated cycles, which include the Masters degree ; preparation
spans over 12 semesters and implies acquiring 360 academic credits.
2. Defining the content of the curricula has followed the recommendations stipulated by the UNESCO Chart
UIA and the Directive 85/384/EEC regarding the formation in the field of architecture ; also, Article 46 of
Directive 2005 /36/EC.
3. The organization of the curricula aims to a progressive assimilation of professional abilities and acquiring
the qualifications necessary in the practice of architecture. The education is built upon the idea of a
formative evolution of the student, while permanently updating the objectives and methods.
4. A progressive growth of the complexity of the study problematic, while diversifying the didactic
methodology as well as the professional options, by offering many formative routes.
5. Establishing a balanced ratio among the 18 components of distinct professional fields in the architectural
formation and integrating the education on practice with theoretical thinking in what concerns the object
and phenomenon of architecture.
6. Establishing a sensitive and democratic relation between students and teachers, inside the architecture
studios, during the practical works, the research and PhD studies, so that the professional growth of each
student may be stimulated.
7. Permanently controlling the quality of the academic staff, which are evaluated annually (the didactic,
scientific and academic aspects are considered).
8. Permanently validating the quality of teaching by inviting foreign professionals to take part in the diploma
juries of the faculty, and also through the results obtained by students during scholarships in EU countries.
9. Maintaining an open dialogue with the local, national and international professional organizations.
Continuous post-academic formation of the alumni, through periodical internships and evaluations.
We hope that the efforts to permanently improve the training of architects, reflected in this material may, by
its very nature be completed with suggestions, proposals and recommendations, aiming to develop an
education of high performance and of European compatibility.

SHORT DESCRIPTION of FAU UTCLUJ
INTRODUCTION
The higher education of architecture date back in Romania to the year
1892, when it was set up as a private school. In 1897, the first state school of
architecture was established as a department of Belles Arts of Bucharest. Until
1970 the Institute of Architecture Ion Mincu was the unique forum of education
field in Romania.
In 1970 other three new architectural education centers were established in
Cluj-Napoca, Iasi and Timisoara which curriculum referred to a three year long
study. The students received a first diploma (B. Sc. Degree) but about 60% of
them went to complete studies and graduated this second stage in Bucharest.
In 1983 this three sections of architecture were arbitrarily abolished and
until 1990 Bucharest remained the unique center of architecture education in the
country. In 1990, after many memorandums and letter sanded to the Ministry o
Education, this Ministry admitted the opening of former schools of architecture in
the three regional centers of Romania. At the beginning the status of these three
schools was as Section of Faculties of Civil Engineering of Technical
Universities.
In 1998 the School of Cluj obtained the status of Faculty of Architecture
and Urban Planning as a nine faculty of Technical University. In the last years the
other two schools of architecture from Timisoara and Iasi obtained the same
status.
During the last two decades, the evolution of the Faculty of Cluj has been
marked by several important events like:
- The ARACIS accreditation from the Ministry of Education in 1994, 2004 and
reconfirmed in 1998.
- The creation in 2002 of the Restoration Architecture Studies as a Deep Academic
Post-Graduate Program FESPRA part of an European consortium with a Franco-
Belgium-Romanian jury and European diploma
- The creation of Post-graduate Deep Academic studies of Urban and Public
Administration since 2005
- Obtaining the IOSUD qualification ( Organizing PhD studies Institution) in 2009
part of many Romanian Universities.
The Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN) is one of the four
universities with a technical profile in Romania, qualified in the category of
Advanced research and education universities. For the quality of the education
provided, UTCN has been accredited on a national level by ARACIS as highly
8
trustworthy and internationally it was evaluated by the Association of

European Universities, as the first university t undergo their evaluation in
Romania.
In 2011, in the nine faculties of the university, research activities are under
development, 165 of them after winning competitions at a national level, 10 FP7,
73 research programs involving Romanian private companies and 21 involving
foreign companies.

CURRICULA DESCRIPTION
FIRST YEAR
MATHEMATICS
The mathematics course develops the study of spatial geometry and calculus problems
that can be applied in the field of architecture.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
The course consists of an introduction into constructive thinking. It discusses the
interrelation between architecture and materials, taking into account more than just the
technical aspects (production processes, physical and mechanical properties, technical
matters or long term behaviour). Several architectural highlights throughout history
show each materials structural purpose, underlining fundamental values which never
age. Studied materials: wood, natural stone, clay, ceramics, binder, concrete, metal,
glass, plastic materials.
ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENT STUDIES

This introductory course in the field of Urbanism presents the environment in a
systemic approach (nature, population, settlements). The main objective is to
familiarize the student with specific knowledge about the morphology of the
environment as basis for thinking, planning and understanding urbanism and with the
specific vocabulary and standardized graphic representation in urban planning.
HISTORY OF ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL ARCHITECTURE

The History of Architecture is an academic subject with a very important formative
and informative character, for which reason it spans for over five semesters. The
course sheds light on the processes (technical developments) as well as requirements
(social, functional, political, philosophical) that shaped the architectural product
through time. The first year is dedicated to the study of prehistory and antiquity until
the Roman period during the first semester, while the second approaches medieval
architecture.
DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY 1, 2
The Descriptive Geometry Course and its seminary work are presenting problems of
bi-dimensional representation of architectural forms using a cylindrical projection
method. Through the course of the first semester, the students are familiarized with the
methods of representation of the main geometric elements (point, line, plane, volume)
their different positions in space, their sectional cuts, intersections and scaling.
15
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN 1

The CAD lectures of the first year of study aim at introducing the students with CAD
design using the notions of geometry, form and representation acquired in descriptive
geometry and basic design courses.
BASIC DESIGN 1, 2
The study of composition and its basic rules and types is accomplished through a
series of studio exercises that alternate different graphic rendering techniques. The
studio work is done under the supervision of both graphic artists as well as architects.
ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 1, 2
The architectural design studio objectives are focused on the ability of the students to
produce mainly conceptual projects with small and basic functions, (at least three per
semester) which address the problems of space, form and use.
THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE - INTRODUCTION

The first year Theory of Architecture courses main objective is to familiarize the
student with the architectural language and morphology required in the process of
design. Thus it touches varied subjects such as: spatial definitions, (line, plane,
volume, form and space) categories of compositions, problems of perception, sensory
architecture, organization of space, scale and proportions, circulation. The course
serves as a theoretical backbone for the design studio.
URBAN EVOLUTION
The second semester of the first year continues the introductory notions in Urbanism
with historical aspects of the development of urban settlements. Presenting the various
urban patterns and mutations specific to geographical, social, cultural, economical and
political determinants in a historical growth, the main purpose of the course is to
assure a cultural background for understanding the making of urbanism along the time
and synthesize the necessary conditions for the generation of theories and urban
principles.
CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS
Being initiated in the logics of construction, while using construction materials, the
student can understand, explain and draw in detail different types of construction
schemes. Several aspects of construction theory (classifications of structural shapes
seen from a stress distribution point of view), construction physics (the influence of
aggressive natural agents), technological requirements, help in understanding the
composition of constructive elements specific to different structural systems (bearing
16
masonry, traditional and modern wood structures, reinforced concrete and metal
structures). The course comprises two semesters.
PRACTICE 1
The practical work credits are awarded for participation in workshops, training camps,
study trips, and special extracurricular activities. These activities are a add-on to the
curricular subjects and are a means of experimenting with real life situations, building
materials and construction sites. The first year practical work consists of a study trip in
which observation drawing is encouraged.
SECOND YEAR
PERSPECTIVE
The Perspective Course is dedicated to the problems of representation of architectural
forms in a conic projection system. It is a follow up of the Descriptive geometry and
Geometry of Form lectures of the first year. The course establishes the ground rules of
technical perspective drafting, using correct measurement methods. As it is based
strictly on geometrically determined drafting, rather than free hand drawing, it serves
as an initiation in the later CAD 3D modelling lectures.
MECHANICS / STATICS
The study of mechanics and statics is aimed at developing a set of basic skills
necessary for architects when negotiating with structural concepts. Thus to better
understand the way structures work, basic calculus is done for simple elements. The
students are familiarized with the basic rules of static dimensioning and material
strength, notions that are essential for further use within the practical field of
architecture.
ELEMENTS OF URBAN DESIGN

This introductory course in the field of Urbanism presents the development of urban
settlements throughout history differentiating between the various growth patterns and
mutations specific to geographical, cultural, economical and political determinants.
THEORY METHODOLOGY 1,2

The course is intended to develop a critical view over the notions of "global",
"international", "universal", along with those of "national", "regional", "local" in
contemporary architecture. The concepts of "Local School", "Critical Regionalism"
17
and "Genius Loci" are approached critically in their historical dimension, as connected
to the precise moments of (post)modernity that generated or reclaimed them, then put
into the context of contemporary debates on globalization. Between the two opposite
points of view - architecture as a purposeful resistance in face of an all-destructive
globalization, on the one hand, and architecture freed from any local limitation, on the
other hand - the course tries to induce to the students the desire for a personal and
open point of view.
HISTORY OF RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE

The Universal Architecture History course is dedicated to the Renaissance, Baroque
and the subsequent architectural styles until the advent of the modern age.
Although being an informative lecture, the course aims to create sufficient knowledge
about the different cultural, social, political and philosophical conceptions that have
shaped the various architectural manifestations throughout time.
CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS 2
This course that spans for the entirety of the second year has a formative/informative
subject matter that primarily presents the different building parts and the constructive
relationships between them. It touches on both structural al non-structural building
elements, and highlights the link between building function, structural system,
architecture, and material and erection technology.
BASIC DESIGN 3, 4
In the first semester the Basic Design Studio is dedicated to modelling and the study
of three-dimensional compositional rules. Following a Bauhaus work model students
are experimenting within the framework of several small-scale models different spatial
definitions and the relationships between objects in space. Attention is given to
regulatory paths, orderly structures, hierarchy, collision, tension, intersection, grids
and patterns, etc. The studio is co-ordinate by a mixed team of architects and artists.
The second semester is dedicated to the study of specific architectural forms and their
specificity within a particular program. Special emphasis is put on the influence of the
structures generated by nature through parametric repetition, and their applicability
within the stages of concept design.
The second year Architectural Design Studio is focused on projects based on the
theory of housing, thus introducing for the first time specific functional requirements.
The first semester is dedicated to an individual house in a natural site, thus studying
18
the relation between object and context, between the living space and its surroundings,
climate, and orientation. Students are presented with real sites around the city, usually
scarred by various ecological problems and degradation that has to be addressed in the
proposed solutions. The second semester introduces an urban context in which the
design has to relate to existing buildings and architectural morphologies. First notions
of urbanism are presented within the analysis phase of the project.
The studio work is further linked to Theory of Architecture, Form Study Studio,
History of Architecture, Basics of Civil Engineering, and Structural Mechanics.
THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE DWELLING

The course explains fundamental notions such as house, dwelling, habitat by
presenting various dwelling models in relation with various cultures. The course
analyses the modern concept of housing in its cultural, social and political dimensions.
URBAN DWELLING
This course presents the development of urban settlements throughout history
differentiating between various growth patterns and mutations specific to
geographical, cultural, economical and political determinants.
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS 1
This course, that spans two semesters, being linked with the design studio, aims in
presenting the student with the different types of architectural finishing, their
technologies and specific details. It is backed by seminary work in which the
theoretical aspects are studied and applied through case exemplifications, drafting,
modelling and site visits.

The CAD lectures of the second year of study aim at developing small projects using
CAD notions and programs, which the students are beginning to get familiar with
thus being capable of drawing a project using CAD, design knowledge.
PRACTICE 2
The practical work credits are awarded for participation in workshops, training camps,
study trips, and special extracurricular activities. These activities are a add-on to the
curricular subjects and are a mean of experimenting with real life situations, building
materials and construction sites. The first year practical work consists of a study trip in
which observation drawing is encouraged.
19
THIRD YEAR
ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMES
The course treats the following main subjects: understanding the term USE in a
perspective of necessity, commodity, comfort, ergonomics, economy, physiology,
psychology, sociology; understanding the importance of the theme as generator of
strategy and project; analyzing different types of buildings.
CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATIONS
The goal of the lectures is to provide the student with sufficient technical knowledge
about the basic concepts and rules of HVAC design as to be able to lead a technical
project as chief of design, as well as to ensure a successful collaboration with the
dedicated engineers. The course is again directly linked with the architectural design
studio.
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS 2
The continuation of the previous year course, aims in presenting the student with more
types of architectural finishing, their technologies and specific details. It is backed by
seminary work in which the theoretical aspects are studied and applied through case
exemplifications, drafting, modelling and site visits.
AMBIENT
The project is intended for the practical exercise of functional and aesthetic knowledge
in shaping an interior space, using the specific course information, and also the
gradual development of the students creativity and taste, artistic individuality. The
course and its seminary is further linked with the optional interior design project.
HISTORY OF UNIVERSAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE XIX-th and XX-th

CENTURIES
The course aims to give an overall perception on architecture in the XIXth and
20th century. The course intends to develop a critical view over modern and
contemporary architecture and stress its still vivid interest for the present. For
each moment, movement or architect that is thoroughly presented, the elements
with a relevance for the contemporary architecture are emphasized. The course is
structured on the main trends, movements, personalities and ideas that shaped the
architectural culture in the 19th and 20th centuries and clarifies the notions of
modernism and modernity in relation to their evolving historical contexts.
20
THEORY OF STRUCTURES 1
The lecture familiarizes the students with the specific technical skills necessary for
architects in order to correctly use the basic structural concepts, useful for the
dimensioning of bearing elements sections of brick and reinforced concrete. It teaches
the basic concepts of Civil Constructions, Constructions of pre-stressed reinforced
concrete, necessary for the training of future architects. The contribution as percentage
of the discipline to cultivate the competence lines of the field of specialization in
Architecture is about 20%.
The 3rd year architecture studio mainly focuses on two issues: the urban
relationships of architecture and defining the concept in the project.
These issues are addressed in the case of two very different programs: a flexible,
open and quasi-public program (a student centre), which allows the focusing on
the urban relationships and the design quality of architecture; a collective housing
program, in which other difficulties add to the proposed issues, such as: the serial
character, bigger size development, functional complexity of a mixed
development.
The relationship between architecture and the city is, in a certain amount,
synonymous with the relationship between the private and the public space. The
architecture project is second to the urban situation; the idea of urbanity itself
supposes that the private space is secondary to the public one. However, urban
limitations are abstract enough for leaving to architecture a substantial margin of
action. The main 3rd year studio's objective is the understanding of how the
precedence of urbanism over architecture works, but also by which means
architecture can be creative nevertheless in the condition of urban constraints.
SPECIAL DESIGN 1, 2
This practical seminary attempts to create the opportunity for students to get familiar
with small scale projects having a well defined degree of specificity. During the first
semester, the project developed is a furniture and interior design one, while during the
second semester, they deal with technical problems inside a building.

The course aims to familiarize students with the computer program ArchiCAD. In this
three-dimensional soft the students work with elements of construction (walls,
columns, beams, doors and windows, floors, roofs, stairs, etc.). Discipline is important
21
in training, because it offers the possibility to use the computer and increase the work
capacity of the architectural designer.
FURNITURE DESIGN -
The course aims to present the basic notions regarding the function, dimension, and
structure in furniture design, and to highlight the aesthetic aspects, the connection
between material, structure and aesthetic expression, and also the relations between
furniture and the space in which it is located.
PRACTICE 3
Third year practical work is done in specialized workshops, organized mainly on
construction sites focused on heritage and traditional building techniques.
FOURTH YEAR
URBAN STRUCTURES (elective)

The Course presents the gradual development of different urban tissues following
typical organic growth patterns. This is done through comparative study of existing
structures in time and the way in which they mutated themselves according to
different social, cultural, political, or economical factors. The theoretical lectures are
backed by a seminary in which students working in teams simulate such growth
patterns following a prescribed the set of rules of a turn based SIM City like strategy
game.
STYLES IN FURNITURE (compulsory)

The course is structured in two parts: the first one dealing with elements of language
and composition principles; the second one describing the main historical periods and
their correspondences with the furniture field, and analyzing the particular technical
and decorative methods. This ensures a correct understanding of the evolution of
furniture, emphasizing the close connection with the architecture styles, and an
appropriate evaluation of valuable pieces of furniture.
ANTHROPOLOGY-CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY (elective A)

Anthropology is the study of humanity. As such, its study is important in most
domains connected in one way or another with human life and the environment,
architecture being among them. The course focuses on the cultural differences
between societies and their specific needs when it comes to living space, worship
places and the city as a cultural entity, emphasizing the diversity of human behaviour
and the importance of culture in explaining that diversity.
22
SOCIOLOGY (elective B)
The course is focused on the relation between space (natural and artificial
environment), places - constituted be architectural and urban design, social practices -
on one side, and society as outcome of social relations and interactions. The main
question is: is an ecologically constituted space/place inducing an ecological
equilibrium at the level of human urban communities? To answer this question the
course offers on overlook of ecological approaches dedicated to city and urban
settlements, starting with the human ecology (Chicago school), social ecology (A
Hawley) the role of politics and economics in shaping the urban landscape (Castells
and Levebvre) and the urban ecology as way of thinking and solving not only
technical problems of different forms of pollution but also preventing ecological
damages through careful design and respect to environment.
HISTORICAL PROGRAMS (elective C)

This elective course presents architectural programs specific to the Transylvanian
region in the XIXth century which are defining for the contemporary urban
landscape and context of Transylvanian towns.
HISTORY OF ROMANIAN ARCHITECTURE 1, 2

This set of lectures presents the development of Romanian architecture from the
Middle Ages up to modern times, stressing the importance of the architectural local
context in the formation of young architects.
CONSTRUCTION PHYSICS 1, 2
The scope is to give adequate knowledge of physical problems and technologies of
buildings in order to provide them with internal conditions of comfort and protection
against climate factors and noise exposure. Thus it teaches the necessary design skills
so that the future architects are able to respond with efficiency to the constraints
imposed by energy factors and building regulations.
THEORY OF STRUCTURES 3, 4
The lecture further familiarizes the students with the specific technical skills necessary
for architects in order to correctly use the basic structural concepts, continuing the
approach of the third year.
SYNTHESIS ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 1,2

Fourth year architectural design studio is dedicated to large-scale programs that have
an ecologic component in the design process. During the first semester students have
to study and design a hospitality program while in the second a museum program is
usually linked with site or building rehabilitation. The studio is thus linked with the
courses of urban planning, urban traffic for the early analysis stages of the design and
building physics and restoration for the later technical solutions. The project
coordination team emphasizes for this year the utilization of so called intelligent
23
solutions, a sustainable, ecologic, and economic design process that is based on the
application of advanced technologies.
SPECIAL DESIGN 3, 4
The projects developed in each semester of the fourth year of study, has the main
purpose to exercise basics of urban planning, functional requirements and
compositional aspects specific in a small dwellings neighbourhood. The project
focuses specific technical aspects of urbanism.
THEORIES AND DOCTRINES OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

The aim of this course is to get in touch with the architectural trends in the pre-
modern, modern, post-modern and contemporary architecture using the comparison
between these periods and approaching the architectural phenomenon as a cultural
one. The final target of the study is to be able to make distinctions between general
concepts of creation as: the aesthetic ideal, social ideal, technological impact and
communicational impact and the specific architectural ones as: spatial concept,
composition, representation and cultural concept. These concepts are using as criteria
of comparative analysis of the architectural trends and the mutations suffered by the
meaning of these notions.
RESTORATION OF MONUMENTS
The course discusses conservation form a historical and theoretical point of view.
Post-modernism is discussed as a concept of conservation, international charts and
guidelines are analyzed, as well as world heritage politics and attitudes, aiming at a
sensitive formation in the field of architectural heritage and its theory.
FURNITURE OF XX-th CENTURY (elective A)

The courses purpose is to broaden the perspective on the History of Furniture, for
students who are interested in the domain, through the presentation of additional
information regarding the specific artistic tendencies and their followers in the field,
from the beginning of the 20th century, until the beginning of the 21st. This is
accomplished in the form of examples that highlight the connection between furniture
design and the creative work and the scientific, technical, artistic development of
society.
CONTEMPORARY TOWN
The course focuses on urban patterns and meanings in urban planning through the
XXth century. Developing a critical approach of planning strategies, in a comparative
discourse referenced to historical models, the main purpose of this course based on
24
the specific language of the urban morphology is to understand the complexity of

urban space and to analyze the landscape of the contemporary town.
RESTORATION OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES

The course is structured as an introduction to contemporary problems of conservation
focusing on historical construction technologies and structure and the problems they
may generate.

The CAD lectures of the fourth year of study continue with an in depth look into BIM
features of different programs. As a link with the architectural design studio work,
students are taught advanced editing and technical design features.
PRACTICE 4
Fourth year practical work is done in specialized workshops, usually dedicated to
urban planning and analysis workshops. Students are encouraged to take part in
international events and the school and its external collaborators usually offer several
such extracurricular opportunities.
FIFTH YEAR
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Landscaping and site design are integral part in the design process of either grass field
projects, large-scale urban planning schemes or damaged sites regeneration strategies.
Students are familiarized with specific knowledge from the field of landscaping, from
both an aesthetic/ stylistic perspective as well as a technical applicative one. Seminary
work is dedicated to landscaping solutions based on the main architectural design
studio work.
DESIGN
Aiming to develop a creative thinking of the architectural object, the course
approaches design form a historical to a methodological point of view, stressing
problems such as perception, psychology, marketing, social ethics, kitsch-art.
SPECIAL STRUCTURES
Aiming to prepare students for complex buildings with larger structural spans, the
course is an introduction towards types of structures which pose specific bearing
problems and the way this can be reflected in the objects form.
25
HISTORY OF MODERN & CONTEMPORARY ARTS 1, 2 (elective A)

The course presents the main movements and currents in international (mainly
Occidental) fine arts, from the last half of the 19th century until the beginning of the
21st century. The discussion is systematically linked to major trends in architecture
during the same period, in order to place the architectural historical knowledge,
acquired by the students during the previous years, in the broader context of the other
visual arts and of the relevant cultural, social and economical phenomena. The aim is
to provide the students with a solid, yet flexible conceptual framework about notions
like modernism, avangarde, post-(and post-post-)modernism, as well as about ground-
breaking personalities and their oeuvre, a framework on which (or from which) one
can further (de)construct ones own art historical itinerary. The course, covering two
semesters, is structured by decades, dedicating two sessions (4 hours) to each decade.
TRADITIONAL FURNITURE IN ROMANIA (elective A)

The course includes several parts, comprising notions of ethnography, traditional
ornamentation (materials, technique and ornaments), furniture display and building
layout of the traditional dwelling in Romania, and descriptions of the main furniture
pieces which are to be found in some important ethnographic museums in Romania.
Its purpose is to develop an appreciative attitude of the student towards national
identity and heritage.
URBAN ECOLOGY
The course aims at approaching the urban space as an open, complex and integrated
system which comprises the sustainable development component in the planning
process. It aims at creating a theoretical basis for structuring a plan of action for
specific urban problems.
URBAN REGULATIONS
The course explores the legal foundations of planning in Romania. Case studies and
legal readings provide the foundations to understanding zoning, environmental law,
aesthetic regulations, and housing policies. Major changes in urban law in Romania
and their implications for urban planning and development will be introduced and
discussed.
BUILDING REHABILITATION (elective C)

Maintenance, reparation and rehabilitation of building structures are the main themes
of the course aiming to develop the ability of damage analysis and rehabilitation
methods.
26
COMPARATIVE ARCHITECTURE
This set of optional lectures and seminary work creates a bridge between Romanian
and universal architecture following a chronological timeline, placing local
architectural discourses and schools within a wider European context.
ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION 1(creation models)

The process of architectural creation understands as a means of transforming the
natural environment and its unity from at list three points of view: perceptivity,
conceptual and symbolical. Analyses are referring to transformational model,
semiotic, collocation and imaginary models. Each model has own rules, formulas and
constituents and each model can be explained by historical and contemporary
examples of remarkable architecture.
On the other hand is relieving the connection between emotional behavior and
architectural creation. The structural emotional typologies are: expectative, itinerant
and assimilate. The consequences in architectural creation are visible on the
monumental, relational (parametric) or symbolic architecture.
ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION 2 (cultural morphological elements)

The course makes a short review of notions like style, specificity, identity, local and
global approach and comparing the methods of phenomenology with the morphology
ones. The concepts as time, space, memoir and image are discuses in meaning of the
main representative work of culture or architecture personalities and their
consequences on the architecture language and creation. The research work on the
deep identity rural residential area is needed and a short project of a house that
preserve the identity of the zone.
SYNTHESIS ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 3, 4

The studio aims at developing design skills through two types of projects for each
semester. The first project is longer and more complex, its object being a
representative building (museum, city hall, drama school etc.) There are three phases
evaluated throughout the design process: an urban and functional analysis, a
conceptual approach to the design and the presentation of the architectural object
through technical drawings, models and three-dimensional images. The second project
is a shorter one, stretching over one or two weeks, aiming at developing a concept at a
sketch level in a short time. The students are to acquire the capacity to design a
complex architectural project integrating urban and theoretical knowledge, the ability
of representing a project at a nearly execution stage and to become familiar with oral
and written presentation of their work.
27
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 1, 2
In the advent of the new severe economic crisis that faces Europe, and the ever
diminishing financial resources, cost effectiveness is becoming a paradigm of modern
architecture. Thus the management course highlights the constraints imposed by cost
factors and building regulations on the final architectural product, presenting the
different project and building management systems, as well as cost control and
efficiency within the design and building phases. Within seminary work student are
taught the basis of cost estimation calculus, and the means of optimization from the
earliest design stages, by applying cost effective architectural solutions
SPECIAL DESIGN 5, 6
The theme of this project in the first semester of the fifth year is based on a specific
need: a new public space in our town, Cluj-Napoca. Erected in de-structured areas,
from both point of view of landscapes and buildings, this urban space must recreate
the sense of a community and also a strong landmark for the town. The project focuses
on analyzing and understanding, creating specificity, proposing the functional
requirements and achieving the necessary technical aspects to restructure a site.
The second semester aims at developing a complex structural project in relation with
the design studio, teaching the students both notions of calculus and structure
dimensioning and the collaboration architect-civil engineer.
URBAN COMPOSITION
This course aims through presentations and case studies from the traditional,
modern, and contemporary practice - at studying the elements that form the city as
well as the way in which they interact. The course has in view the achievement of a
specific professional culture to offer the students both a coherent system of analyzing
the urban form, and a theoretical platform for the competent approach of the exercises
proposed in school and met in professional practice.
AESTHETICS
This discipline contains mostly theoretical philosophical aspects of architectural
training and aims to achieve the acquisition of the following knowledge and skills:
adequate knowledge of the history and theories of architecture and the related arts and
human sciences, knowledge of the fine arts, understanding of the profession of
architecture and the role of the architect in society. It encourages a critical discourse,
through a phenomenological study of the problematic of architecture and the culture
industry in general.
28
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The Technology lecture aims to achieve the acquisition of the specific knowledge and
skills that are required at project level, to solve the technical problems generated by
the non structural components of the building: the envelope, partitioning, flooring,
ceiling, etc. These aspects are studied both globally through comparisons and case
studies as well as in detail highlighting their specificity.
GREEN SPACE DECORATION (elective A)

Landscaping and site design are integral part in the design process of either grass field
projects, large-scale urban planning schemes or damaged sites regeneration strategies.
Students are familiarized with specific knowledge from the field of landscaping, from
both an aesthetic/ stylistic perspective as well as a technical applicative one. Seminary
work is dedicated to landscaping solutions based on the main architectural design
studio work.
STRATEGY OF URBAN SETTLEMENT (elective B)

The basis of urban planning, growth strategies and master plans is approached in this
course, addressing the technical aspects of the field of urbanism.
URBAN ENGINEERING (elective B)

The course deals with norms of design applied to transportation (railways, roads,
airports etc) inside/in relation to the city structure.
MONUMENT PROTECTION (elective project C)

The Restoration course aims to present the basic knowledge required in the field of
Restoration and rehabilitation of heritage buildings. Thus, a special emphasis is put on
historic monuments, their classification methods and relation with the context. Correct
integration of either large or small-scale modern insertions within an existing historic
context is not possible without a proper understanding of the modus operandi of
traditional builders. To that respect, different restoration philosophies are presented
and compared. Lately more attention has been given to no classified architecture,
vernacular buildings and industrial archaeology.
PRACTICE 5
Practical work for this year is done in architectural offices, as a method of direct
application of the learned skills within the context of real architectural practice.
29
SIXTH YEAR
URBAN MANAGEMENT AND LAW

The aim of the course is to learn about management in relation with design and
construction companies.
SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES
The purpose of the course is to acquire knowledge regarding civil and industrial
construction, getting familiar with the applied work procedures in a construction site.
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY
The course aims at understanding economic and financial aspects concerning the
process of design.
SHAPE PSYCHOLOGY (elective A)

This course aims to highlight the influence that the built environment has on the
psychology of the individual and of the masses. From a psychological point of view
architecture just as any container can be inhabited by the most basic human emotions
and traits. It can be oppressive or democratic, introvert or extrovert, transparent or
opaque thus highly influencing the emotions and motivations of its inhabitants.
REAL ESTATE EVALUATION (elective B)

The evaluation of real estate and the dynamics of its market represent the main theme
of the course.
URBAN REHABILITATION (elective C)

Since Cluj is a historic city a correct interpretation of is urban texture, patterns of
space, morphology, and details is of outmost importance. Refurbishment and
restoration of either public space or simple architectural objects is one of the key
themes in several school projects and through the lectures of the Restoration Methods
Course. It is an in depth look into typologies and methods of intervention within a
built context treating from large scale urban ensembles or areas to highly
individualized object. By understanding the pathology of the buildings through a
thorough investigation, the students are able to have a correct response strategy that
avoiding any further damage is in the spirit of the original architecture.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 6 (Pre-diploma)

Preparatory study for the diploma project is done under supervision of an individual
coordinator.
30
PRACTICE 6
Practical work for this year is done in architectural offices, as a method of direct
application of the learned skills within the context of real architectural practice.
THEORETICAL PAPER FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCES

The paper develops a theoretical subject having the form of a scientific paper
regarding the close of diplomas project theme. The research consists of six or more
chapters about general and specific notions used by the theoretical work, history of the
concept, European case studies, national case studies, critical analysis, and the own
opinion about the concept, proposition bound or close by own diplomas project.
DIPLOMA AND DIPLOMA PRESENTATION

The diploma consists of the final project of the six year curricula, being the most
complex and most independent work of the student. It develops throughout the last
semester of the sixth year, under the guidance of an individual coordinator aiming at
the development of a large scale project, with a representative character. The
presentation consists of drawings, models and images describing the object at a
conceptual and technical level.
