The main focus of the project is
the city’s calling towards art, influenced by its past and history. The city’s
bond to art encourages the idea of building a space destined to be visited and
interpreted as a whole, but also, to be a place for promoting the cultural
manifestos in general.
The Center is intended to be build
very close to the Municipal Park of Baia Mare. Also, very near there are The
Village Museum and The Ethnographic Museum. The whole project tries to improve
and revitalize the area through itself, it’s recreational space and through the
implementation of other cultural functions. One might be the integration of the
area in a circuit which is composed of the cultural and historic areas and the
green space offered by the city’s park. The center would be a cultural point of
interest, having the role of attracting the community around it and thus raising
the quality life in a beneficial way.
This building is dedicated to the
city but also to the potential tourists, becoming a point of attraction and
helping with local and territorial development. This type of public space is designed
to be a place to have contact with art, and also to heighten the cultural level
of the art consumer and his
perception capabilities.
This space, dedicated to art and
culture assures the interaction between the audience and the art creators. They
can actively participate at the creation process by offering the artists a studio/art workshop, placednear/besides the exhibition space, the museum. The purpose
of this project is to reunite under one roof all the types of visualartistic manifestations and exhibit
them in a setting that favors social interaction. By doing so and investing in peopleit
will promote sustainability.
The discovery and promotion of new
talents, whom have an identity coherent to their context will eventually lead
to an export of culture. The project represents a new monument that will
historically contribute to this city – a new landmark, daring and poetic, which
rebirths the spirit of “The Baia Mare Art School of Painting”. I wish
that this city will become a magnet for plastic artists.
