BALCON-VIEŢUIRE
BALCON-VIVIALITY

Summary/Abstract: Exterior by definition, the balcony consists of a platform, railing and one or more doors through which it communicates with the interior. Profoundly exterior by nature, the Romanian balcony nevertheless finds itself as one of the most “internalized” living spaces. The balcony is a living room, the balcony is a bar, the balcony is a pantry, the balcony is a kitchen, the balcony is a bathroom, the balcony is a bedroom, the balcony is the workshop, the balcony is the greenhouse, the balcony is the garden, the balcony is an office, the balcony just is (ours, everyone's).Above all, the balcony is a versatile space and a special character in the story of Romanian housing, both in terms of public and private space. The balcony of the forced urbanization, avenged by numerous customizations and interpretations regarding spatial semantics, aesthetics and geometry ends up tracing the identities of a postmodern generation for which the act and the audience switch roles.
