CENTURY"
– FINAL RESULTS
Maria BOSTENARU DAN

2.  Introduction
 Methodology
 Performed works and training received

3. Introduction

4. Introduction
 Facade and style subject of more studies as
the floor plan
 Choice of countries
 relationship between the spatial, functional
and constructive structure – multidisciplinary
approach (architecture, urbanism and
landscape planning, civil engineering,
construction economics, IT)
 “Building the future on lessons of the past”

5. Methodology

6. Methodology
 Project management
 Objectives
 documentation
 Comparative analysis
 Modeling of the zoning
 Definition of the character of a zone
 Classification of the characteristics of the building
type studies according to their cultural value in
order to prioritise intervention amount
 Drawing of lessons learned for the future from the
past

7. Management planSte

Method Obj
.
Goal
1 Literature research, field trips,
archive research
1 current floor plans of housing buildings in
the countries object of the research
2 Set up, of a comparison tree 2 comparison tree featuring comparison
criteria and related code for plan
drawings
3 Cybernetic approach of systemic
analysis and synthesis
3 Spatio-functional plans of the buildings
4 Definition of the texture as
“word”
4 interdependence between systemic
analysis instruments like the texture in
architectural theory and the words in
Christopher Alexander‟s pattern language
5 Classification of the space-
configuring elements following
their architectural/environmental
value
5 Drawings and associated tables of the
architectural-environmental value of
spaces and defining elements
6 architecture as key for coping
with social/environmental
6 conversion of the new definition of words
to social/environmental response
