The jury evaluation of the projects submitted in the VICTORIEI SQUARE, Timi\u0219oara International Design Competition, officially launched on 11th of July 2023, took place between the 13th and 15th of October. The Competition was organized by the Romanian Order of Architects (OAR), with the support of Timi\u0219 Territorial Branch of OAR and the Contracting Authority \u2013 The Municipality of Timi\u0219oara.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main objective of the competition was to select the best project for the design and modernization of Victoriei Square and of the streets in the citadel area, for the award of the design services contract.<\/strong>     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several years, The City Hall of Timi\u0219oara has been trying to rehabilitate this space, on which several fragmented maintenance and repair interventions and local improvements have been contracted and are underway. The challenge of the competition consists of formulating a solution for the development of the public space that is respectful of the built heritage, of all the layers that history has deposited in this space and in harmony with the elements of the urban landscape.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the competition is to encourage the participants to find the maximum potential for each of the needs of Victoriei Square and seek a fair balance between the perennial values of the history and space of Victoriei Square and the possibilities of innovation in accordance with the contemporary way of thinking and usage of the public space.  The results of the competition were announced on Monday, 16th<\/sup> of October, at 13.00 PM, during a press conference hosted by Bastion 3, Timi\u0219oara. The event was live streamed on the official Facebook page of the Organizer, OAR Competitions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project is a testament to the harmonious convergence of contemporary urban life with nature. From a broad perspective, the jury lauded the preservation of the square’s typological specificity\u2014embodying the concept of a \u201ccity-center square-garden\u201d. The space was evaluated holistically, subsequently identifying four distinctive environments and the challenges inherent to each. These challenges were addressed with delicacy and a modern touch. Both the cathedral and the Opera house transcended mere two-dimensional urban flat image; they were perceived as integral components of the square, whose corresponding segments of the public space are skillfully delineated.\u201d – appreciation of the Jury<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project builds upon the inherent character of the “square-garden”, but with an entirely fresh approach that introduces a novel organization and conception of space. The inventive methodology is lauded, as it unveils new opportunities for interaction amongst users and between users and the urban-landscape milieu. The proposal is based on intensive accessibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pronounced longitudinal orientation of the solution facilitates a clear, adeptly articulated division between the central and peripheral zones of the square. Simultaneously, it accommodates diverse circulation routes in all directions. Present, significant green, public space in this proposal morphs into an interactive zone, receptive to varied utilization scenarios – a democratic realm that beckons engagement.\u201d – appreciation of the Jury<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project begins with the idea of transforming the existing square into a memorial park. Recognizing Victoriei Square as the symbolic birthplace of Romania’s liberation, the new design seeks to emphasize this historical significance in the collective memory by turning the square into a commemorative space. The jury believes the project conveys a simple yet strong and potent message. It responds with a sophisticated and cohesive design, potently crafting a contemplative space. Drawing from spatial analysis, the project seamlessly integrates historical layers into its design.\u201d – appreciation of the Jury<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe jury values this solution because it combines and emphasizes the specific character of the \u201cgarden-square\u201d with enhanced accessibility. The project promotes inclusiveness and pedestrian traffic.  The space in front of the cathedral is recognized as an entrance area, while the space in front of the opera building is designated as a memorial space, and is marked by a small but conceptually and symbolically strong intervention.\u201d  – appreciation of the Jury<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project deserves recognition for its strong and clear idea of directly extending the park space, enveloping the cathedral, and entering the city through Victoriei Square. In this way, the square clearly becomes a green gateway to the city’s old center. This green entrance is subsequently extended through the square by a green linear system, which also incorporates the side streets. The jury appreciates this concept, which accentuates the \u201cgarden-square\u201d character inherent to Victoriei Square.\u201d – appreciation of the Jury<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
