A "green” workshop supported by the Romania Green Building Council during the Architecture Days 2009. The Garden Bookshop was meant to introduce the students into the practice of designing a pleasant and relaxing place using sustainable materials.
The Garden Bookshop workshop had the mission to extend the conference foyer (Victoria cinema) to the exterior, on the Baba Novac Street, on a dedicated segment closed to circulation for the Architecture Days. This space served as place for conference breaks, for relaxation in the middle of the city; it also hosted a bookshop with architecture and landscape design books, had seating places and it was open to the public, as well.
The Garden Bookshop was structured in 3 phases: the first 2 are the conception phases (one full day for sketching ideas, at the end of which 20 participants were be selected for the next phases; one day in which the selected participants decided the final project to be realized for the Architecture Days 2009) and a construction phase (taking place 5 days before the start of the Architecture Days 2009), where the participants realized the proposed design, under the coordination of 3 specialists in urban landscape design.
