Text presentation of the author/office in English

ECOU Studio is a blend of architecture, nature, and sustainability, best served together. Although we are a relatively young office, we are a team with a rich cumulative prior experience in urban planning, architecture, interior architecture, micro-architecture, temporary architecture, event scenography, art installations, exhibition design, furniture, and object design. We have not specialized in just one functional area or a specific scale of projects. Through our shared capacity for conceptualization, we can easily and innovatively tackle any type of project. We aim to bring sustainability, in all its forms, into our projects. From passivity to thermal and energy efficiency, through rather low-tech solutions that are not only simpler to implement but also more financially accessible. We aim to use as many local and organic materials as possible, to reuse and repurpose everything that is structurally viable, and to build less, only as much as needed.

Project description in English

A multifunctional stand that primarily provides producers with a protected space to showcase their products. Initially designed as part of the flower festival on Potaissa Street in Cluj, the stand's ultimate purpose extends beyond this. Due to its modular construction, it can be easily assembled and disassembled, easily transported, and, most importantly, it can be developed into various types by extending in one or two directions. The metal corner pieces allow it to be expanded into a larger pavilion or transformed into an exhibition pavilion.
