”COLENTINA LAKES” COMPETITION
Cumulus wins the 3rd prize in the „Colentina Lakes, 2nd District, Bucharest” International Design Competition
The competition aimed to develop the landscaping of the Colentina lakeshores over the entire length comprised in the 2nd District. By analyzing the geographical context we discover that Bucharest is not a flat city. Actually, the flat does not exist, there is always a slope of a few centimeters, of a few meters or sometimes of even 10 meters. Therefore, our proposal follows to rediscover the subtle slopes.
The objective was to restore the continuity of the public path on the shores by creating a green-blue promenade that offers local support and various recreational and social activities while harmoniously integrating the existing natural environment.

The first vice-president of the Romanian Construction Designers Employers' Association, and coordinating partner of Cumulus architecture office, architect Răzvan Puchici, participated, on Thursday, March 28th, in the seminar "BIM for architects", an event organized in Bucharest by CADWARE Engineering, in partnership with GRAPHISOFT.
On this occasion, Răzvan Puchici presented the opportunities and practical applications of the use of BIM in construction design, highlighting the active role that PPC has taken in promoting new technologies.
"As an architect, contractor and first vice-president of the Romanian Construction Designers' Employer's Association, I was happy to share both my professional experience and PPC's vision," said first vice-president Răzvan Puchici. Together with our colleagues in the Employers' Association, we have undertaken to promote the most modern and efficient solutions through which our training and new technologies can generate enormous benefits, both for us, the designers, and for our beneficiaries, the partners. BIM, Artificial Intelligence, optimisation of working procedures are elements that we, as designers, need to incorporate more and more often, more and more deeply into our work processes".
The participants at the seminar "BIM for architects", one of the most important events on design for construction in Romania, appreciated the involvement of the Employers' Association since the early days of its establishment in promoting the professional interests of designers and showed openness towards the PPC vision, which involves digitization and reduction of bureaucracy, both in relation to partners and beneficiaries. Our development depends on the integration of the best technological solutions, but also on the best training of our profession.
