After much juggling in iMovie, Keynote, AirDrop, movie formats, photo processing on iPhone and many other details beside, I managed to put together a less than 1min length presentation video of my Plantelor area of Bucharest tour. I am uploading it now here and on my other social network accounts, being curious of your reactions, positive or negative. I intend to attach it to this specific tour announcements, whenever I will be scheduling such a cultural excursion. The conclusion is that is a serious amount of work there, a lot of time invested, in large part because the devices (laptop, phone, etc) do not speak with each other properly as the manufacturers like to boast and have to get around in the most time consuming manner to solve those problems. Who said that videoclip making is easy? #tour #guidedtour #plantelor #videopresentation #architecturaltour #bucharest #casedeepoca
There is a tour, under my guidance, about the national style of Romania, the Neo-Romanian, at its peak phase (the mid 1900s- the late 1920s), taking place in central Bucharest, this coming Sunday. Please join me, if you happen to be on that day in town. Info about the tour: by clicking the relevant post on my blog, link available in the bio of this Instagram account. #guidedtour #tour #architecturaltour #neoromanian #bucharest #casedeepoca #valentinmandache
Examining new Neo-Wallachian style elements put in place at Robaia monastery church in Arges county, Wallachia, in the 2000s without much historic documentation or expertise, by the post-communist Romanian Orthodox Church authorities, covering or obliterating the original 17th and 18th c features. I am profoundly unhappy with these brand new historic pastiches, destroying the unique medieval architecture of this region of southeastern Europe. #robaia #arges #wallachia #pastiche #architecturalpastiche #neowallachian #southeasteurope #wallachia #casedeepoca #valentinmandache
Hello, Valentin,
Any idea why it was moved to the “Heroes of the Revolution” section? Seems an odd place…
Best,

In its former location, Carol Park, the mosque got in the way of the newly built Communist Heroes Mausoleum and that is why they decided to move it to the actual location. The demolition/ destruction was out of the question as that would have alienated Bucharest’s Muslim community an irked the Islamic countries’ embassies. VM
