Public Choice Award

For ten years, Beta has been awarding quality architectural initiatives and projects in Romania, Hungary and Serbia. The international jury for each edition is made up of renowned architects, and the awards reflect our determination to promote authors and projects with a beneficial impact on the built environment.

For the first time in this competition, we have introduced the People's Award, through which we aim to improve the connection between architects and the general public, emphasizing the importance of architecture that directly addresses the values and needs of society.

We all live in and use the city and the spaces that architects design, so we want the Beta Awards to recognize the preferences of the general public. The Public Award is our way of bringing quality architecture closer to the general public and promoting those architectural projects that make us proud of the cities we live in. Each person can vote for one project in the categories of Built Space, Interior Space, Public Space, Graduate Projects and Research.

The public vote will be open together with the awards exhibition and will run until the end of the competition, when the project with the most votes will be awarded at the Beta 2024 Awards Gala.

Text presentation of the author/office in English

ADNBA was established in 2003 in Bucharest, by Andrei Șerbescu and Adrian Untaru, later joined by Bogdan Brădățeanu and Esenghiul Abdul. With almost 20 years of architecture experience, ADNBA is a group of dynamic architects and professionals with various background and skills, always in search of the balance between experiment and experience in order to develop the best design solution for each project. The practice is involved in a diversified body of work with projects that include residential, office or public buildings. In addition, ADNBA has achieved critical both nationally and internationally, having been awarded various architectural distinctions.

Project description in English

The Tandem building, together with the Millo building, form a large-scale recent intervention, that tries to restore a balance into a heterogeneous urban image. Like the building that previously stood on the site and belonged to the Palace of Telephones, the Tandem building sets back from the street leaving room for a public square which continues with the new pedestrian route created between Matei Millo and Câmpineanu streets. Towards Oteteleșanu street, the volume closes the continuous front and connects to the different heights of the built masses. On the ground floor, there are portico-type perimeter circulations, through which the ground floor opens up to the city, while on the second level, a series of terraces reduces the volume towards its upper part. The sequences of vertical and horizontal metal profiles give depth to the facade and introduce an additional layer of perception that changes depending on the direction from which the building is viewed.
