TULCEA CENTRAL AREA
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION
\u201cTULCEA CENTRAL AREA – URBAN REGENERATION OF THE CENTRAL AREA OF TULCEA MUNICIPALITY\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Romanian Order of Architects (OAR), with the support of Dobrogea Territorial Branch of OAR, and the Contracting Authority \u2013 The Municipality of Tulcea, are glad to announce the official launch of the \u201dUrban regeneration for the central area of the Tulcea Municipality \u2013 Mircea cel B\u0103tr\u00e2n Square, Unirii Street and the Trei F\u00e2nt\u00e2ni area\u201d International Design Competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this design competition is to select the best project for the urban regeneration of the central area of Tulcea Municipality, for the award of the design services contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mircea cel B\u0103tr\u00e2n Square represents the social and administrative center of Tulcea Municipality, easily accessible from all sides of the city and directly connected spatially and historically to the Danube embankment. The competition aims at a high-quality contemporary redesign of this space in the context of the urban regeneration of the city center and the strengthening of pedestrian connections with the Danube embankment, through the pedestrian transformation of Unirii Street and the restoration of the Trei F\u00e2nt\u00e2ni (Three Fountains) area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition stake is to formulate a public space design proposal that considers the current built heritage and the layers that history has deposited here. The participants in the competition should take into account all the needs of the studied area \u2014 housing; public administration; restaurants, cafes and confectioneries; small commercial spaces; leisure and entertainment; culture and civic life, etc. \u2014 to enhance and situate them in an urban platform for the subsequent coherent development of the entire central area of Tulcea. The urban space proposed for design restores and strengthens the pedestrian connection of the city with the Mircea cel B\u0103tr\u00e2n Square area, the adjacent historical districts and the Danube Embankment – “Ivan Patzaichin”. The proposed designs should take into account the way of thinking and using current public space, following contemporary needs generated by climate, social, and economic changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with these objectives, proposals must integrate measures to increase shading by planting additional trees in existing deficient spaces or in newly proposed areas. Sustainability is another important factor in the design of contemporary public spaces, thus ensuring, from the very beginning, the right calibration of the investment and the sustainability of the proposed designs, resulting in reduced resource consumption in the medium and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The<\/strong> Contracting Authority of the competition is The Municipality of Tulcea, the beneficiary of the project which will be contracted following the competition.<\/strong> The competition is organized by the Romanian Order of Architects (OAR), in accordance with the OAR Good Practices Guide for Design Competitions (edited in Romanian \u2013 Ghidul de bune practici \u00een organizarea concursurilor de solu\u021bii OAR<\/em>, rev. 2022), in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the award of public procurement contracts. The Design Competition is a public, single-stage competition, open to Romania, all countries of the European Union, of the European Economic Area, and to the Swiss Confederation.
