Curated by Mihnea Mircan. Romanian artists and architects come to London to take part in the London Festival of Architecture 2008, a celebration and exploration of the city’s buildings, streets and spaces across five major Hubs of activity. Each Hub will see major public events, exhibitions, talks, installations, tours, walks and cycle rides.

Called New Bucharest Market, the Romanian project will introduce LFA visitors to the project Transcentral Urban Bucharest (TUB), a collaboration between 14 architecture studios in Bucharest, which seeks to redefine the identity of the city by fostering social, cultural and environmental initiatives.

The exhibition organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute in 1 Belgrave Square includes a film by acclaimed director Cristi Puiu, author of the award-winning Death of Mr. Lazarescu. The exhibition also includes works by some of the best young Romanian artists, who respond to the TUB concerns:
Mona Vatamanu and Florin Tudor, Vlad Nanca, Daniel Gontz, Ciprian Muresan.

The event is organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute London, with the support of the Embassy of Romania.
