What if the Romanian seaside became a European example of development through culture, architecture and collaboration? On April 4, at the Constanța Exhibition Pavilion , one of the bravest questions of this beginning of the season is put on the table: If Bilbao succeeded, why not Constanța?
We take the ideas out of Power Point to put them on the action map
Under the umbrella of the INTERIO event – Interior Design, Furniture and Professional Equipment, organized by the Constanta Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Navigation and Agriculture – CCINA and Stebingar Arhitect Studio, Creative Talks will be born, a platform for debate and ideas that brings together architects, authorities, entrepreneurs and leaders from tourism and business. The event promises not only discussions, but concrete directions on how we can rethink the Romanian coastline, beyond the summer season , beyond crowded beaches and beyond “pending” projects.
Panel 1 – Efficient directions for the development of the Romanian coastline (11:00 – 13:30)
The opening panel brings together people who are already making a difference:
🔹 Erwin Șimșensohn (Constanța State Theatre) opens the event with the theme "The Bilbao Effect" - how culture saved a city.
🔹 Răzvan Filipescu, Bogdan Artagea (Constanța Airport), Diana Vancea, Adrian Crăciun and Radu Vânturache will discuss public policies, investments and connectivity.
🔹 Representatives of OMD, HORECA patronages and tour operators - including Sebastian Puznava, Ștefan Necula, Enache Bucovală, Valentin Nițu - will address the challenges and solutions for promoting the seaside.
🔹 In the "good practices in seaside business" section, visionary entrepreneurs will take the stage: Eugen Vernea, Simona Costache, Ruxandra Serescu, Mădălina Sandu, Alexander Marcu Stoica and Alexandru Sarchizian.
🔹 The impact of extra-tourist activities and niche tourism will be represented by Adrian Peneș, Alexander Stoica-Marcu, Diana Slav and Andrei Damian.
All these topics will be moderated by the undersigned, together with Emil Tatu, in an interactive panel, meant to take the ideas out of the Power Point and put them on the map of action.
Panel 2 – Sustainability in Architecture and Design (14:00 PM – 16:00 PM)
The second part of the day comes with examples, solutions and technologies that will define the urban architecture of the future:
Marius Șoflete, Mihai Toader, Ionuț Merlușcă, Bogdan Mucenia, Bianca Oprocea, Diana Doina Țenea and Mădălina Sandu will discuss models of sustainable construction, responsible housing and urban regeneration with real impact on communities.
It's a panel for those who no longer believe in unrealized 3D models, but want to see how it's built - efficiently, green and with soul.
Who should participate?
Architects, entrepreneurs, investors, tourism operators, local authorities, creatives, students, people who WANT to see Constanța moving. If you work in tourism, HORECA, urban development or simply love this city and want to see it flourish, Creative Talks is the place to be on April 4th.
