The exhibition of the biennial, Enough IS Enough, curated by architects Ilka Ruby, Anca Cioarec and Brînduşa Tudor, presents dozens of projects—local and international—made by architects who have had enough of waiting for “top-down” solutions and have found their own ways of using what already exists: Why use too much, when enough will do? Their works highlight the ways in which our planet can be treated with respect and responsibility—toward the environment, toward the economy and toward the society as a whole.
Timișoara Architecture Biennial – Beta 2020 takes place between September 25 and October 25, in Timișoara, Romania. This 3rd edition will address the theme of responsibility for the present and future built and yet unbuilt environment, in an attempt to become a platform that articulates a position towards the ever increasing pressures (ecological, social, cultural, economic, etc) that the construction sector generates. Beta 2020 is sending a message of hope to society, the community and the planet. “Do we really have to build? We always should consider “no” as a possible answer. We think it’s essential to look at what we already have, to observe the inventory of local resources, the reuse of abandoned and unused buildings, to find methods to make them livable, and demolition to be our last option, to take care of, maintain and repair what is broken, to reuse, to recover materials, to remember our craft and to try to adapt it to both the design and the construction process. And if we have to build again, from the beginning, let’s appreciate experimenting and researching new materials that are good for the environment—i.e. biodegradable, renewable materials, care for the community, projects that value the community, sharing, exchange, participation, collaboration, projects that bring people together, and sharing knowledge and awareness that a responsible attitude will have a true impact only on a larger scale, therefore it is essential for us to share experiences of good practice and scientific knowledge to be as accessible as possible, so we propose to learn together in a practical and interactive way.” as stated by architects Ilka Ruby, Anca Cioarec and Brînduşa Tudor.

Izložba dvogodišnjeg izdanja Enough IS Enough, koju su uredile arhitektkinje Ilka Ruby, Anca Cioarec i Brînduşa Tudor, predstavlja na desetine projekata – lokalnih i međunarodnih – koje su izradili arhitekti kojima nije bilo dovoljno da čekaju rešenja „od vrha nadole“ i pronašli su sopstvene načine korišćenja onoga što već postoji: zašto koristiti previše, kad je ono što već imamo dovoljno?
Bijenale arhitekture u Temišvaru – Beta 2020, održava se između 25. septembra i 25. oktobra u Temišvaru, u Rumuniji. Treće izdanje se pozabavilo temom odgovornosti za sadašnju i buduću izgrađenu, a još neizgrađenu životnu sredinu, u pokušaju da postane platforma koja artikuliše stav prema sve većim pritiscima (ekološkim, socijalnim, kulturnim, ekonomskim, itd.) koje gradnja objekata generiše. Njihova dela ističu načine na koje se naša planeta može tretirati s poštovanjem i odgovornošću – prema životnoj sredini, ekonomiji i društvu u celini. Beta 2020 šalje poruku nade društvu, zajednici i planeti. Postoji mnogo rešenja, ali vreme nije jedno od njih.
„Da li zaista moramo da gradimo? Smatramo da je neophodno da pogledamo ono što već imamo, da posmatramo inventar lokalnih resursa, ponovnu upotrebu napuštenih i neiskorišćenih zgrada, kako bi se pronašle metode koje će ih učiniti životnim, a rušenje da nam bude poslednja opcija; da se brinemo i održavamo i popravljamo pokvareno, ponovo bi trebalo koristiti postojeće, popraviti materijale, setiti se naših zanata i pokušati da ih prilagodimo i dizajnu i procesu gradnje. A ako moramo ponovo da gradimo, od početka, cenimo eksperimentisanje i istraživanje novih materijala koji su dobri za životnu sredinu – tj. biorazgradivi, obnovljivi materijali. Brinimo o zajednici, o projektima koji vrednuju zajednicu, razmenu, učešće, saradnju, o projektima koji okupljaju ljude i razmenjuju znanja i svest da će odgovoran stav imati istinski uticaj samo u većem obimu. Stoga nam je neophodno da delimo iskustva dobre prakse i naučnog znanja kako bismo bili što dostupniji, pa predlažemo da zajedno učimo na praktičan i interaktivan način “, izjavile su arhitekte Ilka Ruby, Anca Cioarec i Brînduşa Tudor.
