Hello
My name is Mihai Macavei, ?Until the fall of 2012 I was a student ini Cluj Napoca at The Utcn Architecture School, not a good experience after all. Now that the school trauma has ended I look forward to begin my career. I do have an acid opinion of these school years because I had to learn by to much by denying information from teachers. We were programmed to be under-qualified, not to be competition for the old branch of architects in a country which needs more architects/ square meter:) then it has.
I do believe in a memetic structure of architectural practice. This mean that a lot of information is accepted as valid just because others say so. Of course the process has a viral character which is not challenged if not needed to. This what is happening in small architecture firms.
I want to be part of something bigger, more complex and that's why I want to come to you. The bigger the company where I am employed the bigger the chance to participate in projects at the forefront of today's architecture.
Apart from my computer skills and love architecture I have some interests which are making me see the problem of space a bit different than an architect. I am interested on sociology, psychology, anthropology and I like to look to an architectural proposal from these three angles. On the other hand physics \ cosmology is another thing that fascinates me. My projects have a bit of every of these interests in them. Of course in this process I add a bit of art and this is it.
I don't like to do this alone. In a way I am a "team builder" - I like , I need feedback and I give feedback. I like authority as long as it is constructive, otherwise I like to assume it. In a team I know which my place is and I like to make the most of it. I also like to give the most from my position. In a concept design project I like being the team leader but only if I understand the concept or it is my idea. If so I am not deaf to the teams ideas. In fact I believe that a final product is not a idea but a collection of ideas that go well together.
