In
\nliterature or science, sports or marketing, trade or visual arts, we come
\nacross various expressions of creativity, under many forms, be it the
\nclassical one – a painting or a book, an advertising banner or a bicycle – or
\na phone and laptop. <\/p>\n

According to its Facebook page, The Institute promotes Romania’s
\ncreative industries and aims to contribute to modernising Romania. One of
\ntheir best known projects is called the Creative District and was launched in
\nBucharest, back in 2017. <\/p>\n

Words are beautiful and to the point, but let us now take a look at some
\nfacts. One of the projects has been recently carried out at the weekend, in
\nthree consecutive weeks. The Institute and the Institute for Public Policies
\n(IPP), with the support of Electrica SA have shed light on two iconic buildings
\nof the Creative District, situated in Bucharest’s old city centre. <\/p>\n

\nInstitute), explains: <\/p>\n

Ana Paun: This is one of the
\nbrand new projects that we develop at the Creative District. One of the
\nconclusions drawn after the national census of 2011 was that 9 in 10 houses in
\nBucharest were completely or partially uninhabited. And I’m referring to a
\nseries of landmark buildings, of special importance for both the capital’s
\nculture and heritage. There are so many extremely beautiful and valuable houses
\nwithin the perimeter of the Creative District, but which are not inhabited
\ntoday. And we thought we could draw the city inhabitants’ attention by lighting
\nthese houses on the inside, just like they would have been inhabited. <\/p>\n

Bucharest has been the guest city of this year’s edition of the Madrid
\nDesign Festival. Romania’s capital city mounted an exhibition devoted to the
\nCreative District. The exhibition Bucharest Creative Quarter@Madrid Design
\nFestival was supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute and The Institute,
\nand it was opened to the public for a month and a half. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Now, the Institute team is getting ready for new challenges. The first
\nsuch challenge will be the 7th Romanian Design Week, hosted by
\nBucharest between May 17 and 26. This festival has grown by the year. In 2019 it supports and echoes the
\ndiscourse of the local creative industries, underlining the major contribution
\nof creative communities as well as the way in which they turn the capital into
\na truly European city. Ana P\u0103un, communication expert with the Creative
\nDistrict, explains: <\/p>\n

Ana Paun: A series of
\ncreative hubs or clusters, I would say, have developed in our city along the
\nyears. One such hub is that at Industria Bumbacului S.A. or in other places
\nlike the Creative District, where there is a concentration of creative
\nbusinesses, workshops and studios. The Romanian Design Week comes up with an
\nitinerary of creative hubs. Each of them organises events, from parties to
\nfairs and customised coffees- everything is part of this year’s edition of RDW.
\nNaturally, there will also be a central exhibition, as usual. In 2019, it will
\nbe hosted by the BCR building in the University Square, a historical building which
\nwill be open to the public for the first time. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The central exhibition will include over 200 works. So, the month of May
\nwill bring along not only scents of peony and lime-tree blossom but also many
\nenticing offers. <\/p>\n
