As a Romanian-German cooperation group, planwerk combines a good knowledge of the local conditions with the professional skills and practical experience accumulated since 2001. From its start, planwerk’s work was aimed at providing an input to the transformation of post-socialist cities in Romania, within the wider guidelines of European good practice. With works ranging from strategic planning to architecture and public space design, planwerk’s approach is focusing on understanding, integrating and improving context on all its scales and meanings. Both planning and design are relying on interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange inside a network of professionals from Romania and the EU.
