As we approach the final reporting stage of the Scholar Architect 2025 project, we take a moment to celebrate the results we have achieved through sustained effort, together with our team members, collaborators, and partners.

Regarding the volume Decoding the Context, we are very pleased to announce that it has been included in the collections of several prestigious national and international libraries, as well as in international academic databases. The list below represents only part of the institutions and platforms where the volume has been received and indexed.

A fost un an plin 2025. Am desfasurat cele mai multe activitati si am produs cele mai multe rezultate de la inceputul proiectului Scholar Architect, in 2020, si pana acum. Ce ne bucucra cel mai mult e ca putem impartasi cu voi permanent mare parte din rezultate, pentru ca sunt puse online 🤓.
Momentan lasam un teaser cu sectiunea Video de pe website, care a crescut considerabil. Revenim cu cateva reel-uri mai detaliate in perioada urmatoare, ca discutiile merita urmarite 😉.

2025 has been a full year. We carried out more activities and produced more results than in any other year since the beginning of the Scholar Architect project in 2020. What makes us happiest is that we are able to share a large part of these results with you permanently, as they are available online🤓.

For now, we’re leaving you with a teaser from the Video section on our website, which has grown significantly. We’ll be back soon with a few more detailed reels, as the discussions are definitely worth following😉.

În această campanie de informare reluăm o serie de informații pe care le-am adus în discuție în cadrul a numeroase activități desfășurate în proiectul Scholar Architect. Unele au fost cuprinse în documente pe care le puteți consulta încă (așa cm este documentul "Norme şi reguli de concepere şi scriere a unei lucrări ştiinţifice", autor Cosmina Grafu), altele au fost amintite, pe scurt, în campanii precedente, în cadrul unor prelegeri și mai ales în cadrul unor workshopuri sau discuții pe subiectul eticii în scrisul academic.
Oricând aveți întrebări despre oricare dintre aspectele menționate aici, noi vă stăm la dispoziție.

We are happy to launch a new podcast series, CONTRAPPOSTO, in which Irinel Pintilie engages in dialogue with architects, researchers, and practitioners to explore how architectural thought and practice are shaped by contemporary conditions.
The guest of the first episode is architect and researcher Riccardo Matteo Villa (ATTP, TU Wien) who discusses what changes when architecture generates its own standards of writing and argument.
