​​Manastirea Cristorel
​​descriere proiect:
La baza acestui proiect au stat studii aprofundate cu privire la realizarea unui asezamant monahal ecologic cu resursele disponibile din imediata vecinatate (pamantul folosit ca acoperis vegetat, lutul folosit drept mortar, caramizi reciclate din daramarea unor suri si a altor constructii dezafectate din zona).
Facand apel atat la tehnici arhaice (construirea arcelor in plin cintru, realizarea de zidarii cu mortar de pamant, etc.), cat si la tehnici contemporane low-tech (de exemplu, acoperisuri vegetate), am incercat sa realizam un ansamblu discret, (reversibil si) in comuniune cu locul si cu oamenii locului.
​​Cristorel Monastery
project description:
​
The basis of this project is rooted in in-depth studies concerning an ecological monastic settlement that could be built with available resources from the near vicinity (earth used for green roofs, clay used as mortar, bricks recycled from the demolition of disused buildings in the area).
Making use of both archaic techniques (building semicircular stone arches, masonry built using clay mortar, etc.) and low-tech contemporary techniques (for example green roofs), we tried to achieve a discrete (reversible) ensemble, in agreement with the place and the local people.
