53 architecture guides for rural Romania

Over several years, the Romanian Order of Architects (OAR), through the OAR Rural working group, has so far completed  53 architecture guides for integrating with local character in rural areas. The guides offer, free of charge, a set of easy-to-apply rules with clear examples (“Do / Don’t”), to help those who want to build or renovate in rural areas choose suitable models, according to the traditional architecture of each region.
The essential aim of this series of guides is to preserve the spirit of Romania’s rural settlements and to improve the quality of rural life, while conserving traditions and the existing cultural landscape. The architecture guides are aimed at village residents, local administrations, public and private investors, consultants specialising in accessing European funds, and designers.
