_KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Das Projekt 'Emotional Architecture' begann im Schatten von Ceausescus megalomanem, Furcht 
einfloessendem Palast des Volkes, fuer dessen Bau in den 1980er Jahren ein Großteil der 
Innenstadt von Bukarest abgerissen wurde. Der rumaenische Kuenstler Calin Dan untersucht in 
seinem langfristig angelegten Film- und Kunstprojekt die emotionalen Dimensionen von 
oeffentlichen Bauten und urbanen Raeumen, wie sie gerade auch die Innenstadt Berlins praegen.

_SHORT DESCRIPTION
EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE is a concept engineered in order to facilitate a new prospective on 
converging phenomena such as habitat, religion, and crowd management under the dominance of 
media. The EMOTIONAL prospective on ARCHITECTURE was facilitated by the acceleration 
occurring lately in domains such as scale economies, balances of political power, construction 
technologies and their respective visual reflection. EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE is also the result of 
complementary processes manifest in the societal body: metabolisation of chaos theories and 
information technologies; suppression of spiritual practices and enhancement of collective 
narcissism.

The operational value of EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE will be checked through a medium term 
research involving different media formats (video, photography, and internet platforms, 
workshops, analogue and digital publications), and bringing in dialogue different competencies, 
both individual and institutional. The EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE work environment is created and 
moderated by Calin Dan and put into practice with the help of (until now): BAK (Basis Aktuelle 
Kunst) - Utrecht, Montevideo/Time Based Arts - Amsterdam, Pro Helvetia, National Museum of 
Contemporary Art - Bucharest, International Centre for Contemporary Art ö Bucharest, Dutch 
Embassy Romania and various individuals.
