The ‘Flat Space/Apartament Deschis’ project is a functional replica of a socialist apartment, designed by Stefan Rusu and commissioned to represent the identity of the CHIOSC project. The ‘Flat Space/Apartament Deschis’ project was designed to publically display the private space of a flat representing the standard for socialist residential architecture. It continues to be a strong visual element of the contemporary urban and social landscape of Eastern European countries. Originally, the project was conceived as a structure with multiple meanings and functions. Given that architecture comes with a specific kind of well-defined functionality and aesthetics, I was initially concerned with overcoming the idea of fixed functionality. (Stefan RUSU)
