Romanian Design Week – RDW Exhibition will showcase 200 local architecture and design projects.
The twelfth edition of Romanian Design Week takes place this year between May 24 and June 2 in the historical monument building in George Enescu Square, which in the past housed the famous CINA restaurant (Benjamin Franklin Street 10).
The more than 200 selected projects will be exhibited within the RDW Exhibition, the format of the festival which represents a space for meeting and dialogue between professionals, enthusiasts and the general public and offers an overview of current local projects.
RDW Exhibition registered some 670 entries this year, projects that entered the selection process to be exhibited at RDW Exhibition. These were initially validated by the RDW Community, a team formed by participants of the previous year’s exhibition within the festival. The projects validated by them are the starting point for an online archive of good practice in design and architecture – called Community Vote – intended to help raise market standards, with the collection of projects to be permanently available online outside the festival. This year, under the umbrella of Community Vote, over 275 projects will be promoted on the festival website.
Starting from the selection base validated by the RDW Community, a group of Romanian and international curators made the final selection of the projects that will form the exhibition of architecture, design and illustration projects from the festival. The curators of this edition, by category, are Andrei Șerbescu and Irene Perez and Jaume Mayol (Architecture), Bruno Andreșoiu and Stella Nikolakaki (Interior Design), Marian Pălie and Andrew Ibi (Costume Design), Raymond Bobar and James Goggin (Graphic Design), Maria Surducan and Yuko Shimizu (Illustration) and Alexander Manu and Matthias Hillner (Product Design).
Access tickets can be purchased on the festival page. Pupils, students and pensioners have free access. Unicredit customers benefit from a 50% discount on ticket purchases. The discount is applied directly on the payment page.
RDW Exhibition 2024 is a project of The Institute, presented by Unicredit Bank, funded by the Ministry of Culture, and the exhibition design of RDW Exhibition will be realized by Attila Kim Architects.
