The Royal Institute of British Architects awards Romanian student with the Excellence Award

Romanians who moved abroad have proven that they are able to work hard and find success in any field. One of them is 26-year-old Ruxandra Maszni, who has recently just received a distinction in the field of architecture in the UK.

 

The young woman, originally from Suceava county and a graduate of the Architecture university has received the Excellence Award in the UK. This is a prestigious award as it is given by the Royal Institute of British Architects to only one graduate student a year. 

 

 

Ruxandra Maszni has studied at the Ciprian Porumbescu Art College in Suceava and then moved on to study at the Richmond upon Thames College in London. She has continued her studies in Architecture at Brighton University and the Masters at Portsmouth University. There, she studied with Any Hadzhipetrova, who has won the same prize in 2017.

 

Ruxandra’s project was a two years project on the purpose of colored lights in the urban spaces and how these can be used to connect neighboring cities like Liverpool and Birkenhead. The project is called Festival City and consists of light and temporary buildings that would be very attractive and which would bring entertainment. The project was praised for its detailed work.
