Meet our Ambassador:
LOREDANA STASISIN
Â
I am a Romanian Architect specialised in the Architectural Heritage Conservation [ENSA Paris-Belleville], working as Technical Expert and Advisor for Living Future Europe [LFE], the organisation overseeing the 'Living Building Challenge' green certification for Europe's built environment.
Currently based in Amsterdam, my journey spans residences and work experience in Paris, Brussels, and London, complemented by an extensive Cultural Management experience in Romania, where since 2006 through the Rhabillage Association, I developed structured methods of bottom-up urban analysis for historical sites.
Â
Every now and then, I do independent research, such as âBucharest, the little Paris?â, that began in 2010 as a comparative urban analysis through photographic techniques and that later became a photography exhibition [2014], and an awarded scientific paper [2017]; or, the more recent challenge, âThe theatres of Fellner & Helmer. Subtle reflections on local specificities and identitary valuesâ, a project supported by the Austrian Embassy in Romania that started in 2020 and it is about to step into the spotlight in the later part of 2023 with a traveling exhibition and multi-media content on a dedicated platform.
 Since 2021, I have been collaborating with the New European Bauhaus [NEB] team from the European Commission on behalf of LFE, and independently, as external evaluator. In October, 2022, I joined the team of one the firsts NEB based Horizon Europe projects as Technical Expert in urban renovation [Eyes Hearts Hands - Urban Revolution]. This year, I became an external expert of the European Institute for Innovation and Technologies [EIT], and collaborated with EIT Climate KIC as evaluator for the NEB Booster 2.0 program and as NEB Design Mentor for the project Green Renovation Wave for Ukraine, developed by the Active House Alliance Ukraine, under the program EIT Community NEB - Citizen Engagement.
From the volunteer based project in Bucharest, 'The Mourning Houses' [2006] to the EU funded cross- sectoral international cooperation between more than 30 partners in 7 countries aiming for the sustainable urban rehabilitation of 7 lighthouse projects expected to be operative by 2025, it has always been a path for working on interpreting historical narratives through the complex lenses of human-centered design, systems thinking, and regenerative frameworks, which now come in-line with this New European Bauhaus movement that I am so honoured, proud and grateful to be part of.
