Between 17- 26 MayThe 7th edition of Romanian Design Week will bring together the creative communities of Bucharest. The festival, that became more complex year after year, is sustaining and expanding again in 2019 the speech of local creative industries, emphasizing the huge contribution they have in transforming the capital in a really modern, European city.
Romanian Design Week 2019 will include, as in the previous editions, the main exhibition which presents the best design and architecture projects of last year. It will be held in the BCR building from University Square (5 Regina Elisabeta Street, Bucharest), a historical monument, built in 1906. On this occasion, the building can be visited for the first time by the general public.
Over 200 design, architecture, urbanism and interior design projects presented in the main exhibition of RDW will be selected from the over 500 submitted in the call for projects stage.
During the 10 days of the festival, the invited creative communities, as the one held in the former space dedicated to the Cotton Industry, on 160 Splaiul Unirii, Bucharest, or creative clusters, as the one formed in the industrial hall from 14 Giuleşti Street, Bucharest, next to the communities created around some geographic areas, such as the Creative Quarter and Încotroceni, will hold exhibitions, events, fairs or parties, marking off on the map of Bucharest the most effervescent spaces from the design and local creativity perspective.
CRAFTING FUTURES
Within the RDW programme, join us on Saturday, 25 May, from 13.00, for a discussion about Crafting Futures, a British Council initiative to support the future of craft across the globe. As a first step towards the launch of the project in Romania, we're inviting everyone interested in the future of crafts for a conference followed by an industry round table analyzing the local context and ways in which the project can support it.
