„ASTRA”, SIBIU: UN MUZEU LA LIMITĂ
A MUSEUM ON THE BOUNDARY

Summary/Abstract: The theme of my diploma project, submitted in 2010, was the design of The Museum of Transylvanian Civilization (MCT) „Astra”, in Sibiu and it has been elaborated under the guidance of Mrs PhD prof. arch. Daniela Rădulescu Andronic. The conception of this project evolved around the chosen site and its history. From city gate, to Austro-Hungarian infantry barracks and now parking space, the site – situated on one side of the Unirii Square – accumulated successive layers of history, becoming an identity landmark of the city. Though this project I followed the exploitation of this history, but also the integration of the building at the city level by solving dysfunctions caused through the interventions made in the communist period. In this context, the building, situated on the boundary between the old and the new city, becomes a spatialized boundary itself, emphasizing the missions of the museum and its role of creating connections in time and space, beginning, first of all, from the acceptance of the history.
