It was high time for PRISPA to encourage other fellow students to participate at the next edition of SDE, because our project is not only an interesting one, but it’s also a platform for promoting Romania. Hence, continuity is an issue and we actually want to make sure that there will be other teams, not only from Bucharest, that will try the experience.
At NVJ (“See you on Thursday”, weekly conferences organised by student architects in Cluj), we introduced our colleagues to the SDE project and their requirements, made a quick review of our house design and then presented the team, focusing on the multidisciplinary aspects and our day-to-day activity with PRISPA. We also gave them an insight into the challenges we had to face in time and other more that we saw coming.
Students and young teachers at the Architecture Faculty in Cluj had a positive response to the whole concept of Solar Decathlon and we are pround to say that we might just have layered the basis of a new team, Cluj-Napoca-based, that will probably make us proud in the 2014 edition.
