De-a Arhitectura Association

De-a Arhitectura Association is a community of built environment professionals and teachers shaping a better future through architecture education for children, youth and adults. Our programs foster creativity and innovation, and help children get ready for the real world. In a decade we’ve reached over 30,000 pupils from Romania, with the help of over 1000 teachers and 1000 volunteer architects. Our educational programs take place mainly in schools in the form of optional courses, but also in museums and in architecture and design events. The Romanian Order of Architects (OAR) finances part of De-a Arhitectura Association’s programs through the Architectural Stamp Duty. The cultural program debuted in 2011, and starting with 2016 the Romanian Order of Architects decided that it should become a priority cultural program, as it meets the five criteria of priority cultural programs: scope, singularity, uniqueness, complexity and quality. We build through education. Our construction grows when: ⌂ Both children and adults understand and cherish the values of built environment and become active citizens in their local communities. ⌂ Built environment professionals get involved in society through education. ⌂ Play, experiments and creativity foster education.
