      Description
      • Seit der Revolution im Jahr 1989, wurden in Rumänien eine grosse Anzahl an Bauten für repräsentative Zwecke errichtet, sogenannte Paläste. Von einer Vielzahl von Menschen errichtet, fordern diese Bauten in vielerlei Hinsicht gesellschaftliche und administrative Normen heraus. Vorrangig werden diese Bauten mit den Roma assoziiert, nichtsdestotrotz ist das eigentliche Phänomen viel weiter verbreitet.

        Von einer sozialen Perspektive aus betrachtet, zielt die Arbeit deswegen darauf ab die bisher durchgeführte Forschung mit einem differenzierteren Ansatz zu erweitern. Im Austausch mit einer Vielzahl von Protagonisten und visueller Ethnographie versucht das Projekt mittels typologischer Bilder zu untersuchen, wie sozialer Status durch Architektur etabliert wird.
      Description in English
      • Since the revolution in 1989, Romania has seen a big wave of houses built for representative purposes, so called palaces. These buildings challenge in many ways societal and administrative norms and are built by a diverse range of people. Mostly associated with these buildings are people of Roma origin, nevertheless a more widespread audience partakes in this building culture.

        Seen from a social perspective, the work aims to broaden the previously undertaken limited research with a more differentiated approach. In exchange with a substantial range of protagonists and by working with visual ethnography, the project is therefore seeking to produce typologic images that inquire how social status is established through architecture.
