Atelier Ad Hoc

About Atelier Ad Hoc

Atelier Ad Hoc is a Bucharest-based architecture practice focused on the relation between public space, informality and living conditions manifested in different situations around the city. Founded by Maria Daria Oancea and George Marinescu as a dual practice consisting of a design studio and non-governmental organization, Atelier Ad Hoc engages with situations associated with social and spatial vulnerability, variably shifting between informal and planned. They develop support structures and spatial prototypes that extend resources available to communities, testing alternative visions for reducing social exclusion and contributing to a more inclusive city.
