Description : The monastery ensemble located at 12 km north from Suceava, is placed among the beautiful hills of Bucovina, near a forest and a lake.
The Medieval Art Complex Dragomirna includes the small church, the big church, the defense walls surrounding the place, the old building of the ecumenists, the five towers, the cells of the monks and the beadle.
From a stylistic standpoint, the monastery has a Moldavian architecture with some Transylvanian influences (horizontal belt in torsade) with a specific typology, unique in Romanian architecture, given by the proportion between the narrow nave and its height (which is almost two times higher than traditional churches)
The reason for chooing this object is the restoration project done conducted by Ioana Grigorescu and Nicolae Diaconu between 1962-1976.
I What is representative for Ioana Grigorescu’s projects is that where the original architecture is entirely absent, was not tried to copy elements found in other churches of the era, but proposes a contemporary architecture located in a dialogue with the historic architecture of the place. As rule, this type of intervention was made particularly on details, but in some cases, justified, also on major architectural areas, in Dragomirna’s case, for example, it was use on watch the road from defense walls.

Description : Sports Hall was designed to have a polyvalent character, beside the sportive function, the hall had to be able to accommodate meetings, conferences, concerts, street theater. This polyvalence required by the theme generated a square plan with tribunes (2100 seats) placed on one side, the capacity of the hall depending on the activity could reach up to 3000 seats.
The main volume accommodate, besides the sport field and the tribune, also the lobby, ticket office, phone box, wardrobe, toilets and buffet. The secondary volume had the locker room, administration, warehouse, and technical spaces. The very modern architecture puts in evidence the relation between the two volumes, that is also accentuated by the color difference between these two, white simili stone is the main volume and red marble is the secondary volume. The functional dimension is provided by a logical plan, very simple and functional. The interior space of the hall is delimited by the apparent metal structure of the roof.

Description : Modern architecture that subscribe to what Kenneth Frampton calls “critical regionalism”. From volumetric point of view we are dealing with a composition in which powerful volume, counterbalanced by equally strong vertical tower constitute the main volume of the background that gives the key to reading the architecture. The composition reminds us about the evolution of this program along history.
The tower reminds of the Gothic and Neogothic towers

Description : Construction that intertwines Le Corbusier's and local architecture influences. T shape building with unequal arms having a height regime of S+P+4E that was conceived to shelter a political-administrative function illustrating very well the relation between politics and architecture of the short period of liberalization from communist dictatorship.
Built to be the main construction in a square where is placed also Mihai Eminescu Theater (located on a late XIX century building) and the Town Hall (located on a building from late XIX century-beginning of XX century). “it is an important presence in the city residence of a county, with a prominent representative character. It must mediate and express blend of the party and state activities in the political life of the country, as well as the broad participation of the masses in public organizations…” says the text of Arhitectura magazine 1/1973.
We have in front of us one of the late architectural examples from the liberalization period that will be followed from the beginning of the XVIII decade and in the next decade, by a Stalinist period in found not in the form as the one from 1948-1958.
