Religious History and Culture of the Balkans
Religious History and Culture of the Balkans Edited by Nicolae Roddy 3. Expected and Unexpected Authorship of Religious Elements in Late Nineteenth, Early Twentieth Century Bucharest Architecture Felicia Waldman, University of Bucharest, Romania Abstract The hodge-podge architectural heritage is among Bucharest’s most unique attractions, a result of the multicultural background of those who contributed to its modernization. In this respect, a paramount role was played by Jewish and Armenian architects, who designed emblematic buildings that still constitute today landmarks of the Romanian capital, but also businessmen who commissioned private mansions and public utility edifices (hotels, restaurants, hospitals, etc.) that transformed the city. From the nineteenth century onwards, and particularly in the interwar period, Bucharest was a crossroad of civilizations, where East met West, and various ethnic and religious groups coexisted. The best exemplification of this outstanding circumstance is the fact that during this time Christian architects designed not only churches, as one would expect, but also synagogues; while Jewish craftsmen decorated not only synagogues, but also churches. Moreover, Jewish businessmen commissioned Armenian architects to design their houses and decorate them with Armenian religious symbols. The 38 Religious History and Culture of the Balkans article brings to light several of the more interesting cases, demonstrating the complexity of religious presence in Bucharest’s architectural legacy. Keywords: religion, churches, synagogues, identity, architecture, heritage, Bucharest, Jewish history, Armenian history Introduction Most historians assert that the history of Bucharest begins with a late fourteenth century citadel perched along the bank of the Dâmbovița river (Giurescu, 42). According to an extant 1459 document, the citadel expanded into a village surrounding the princely residence of Vlad the Impaler, also known as Dracula. -
Ceaușescu's Bucharest
Ceaușescu’s Bucharest: Power, Architecture and National Identity By Vlad Moghioroși Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Constantin Iordachi Second reader: Professor Balázs Trencsényi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract The thesis analyzes Nicolae Ceaușescu’s redesign of Bucharest as part of the Romanian dictator’s national communism and cult of personality. The symbol of this cult and manifestation of nationalism was the Bucharest Political-Administrative Center. Scholars generally agree that an analysis of the continuation of nationalism in Romanian planning and architecture in the twentieth century is crucial for understanding Ceaușescu’s project for Bucharest. As such, the aim of this thesis is to brings a new perspective on the influence of Romanian 20th century planning and architecture on the construction of the Bucharest Political-Administrative Center. It also offers a new interpretation of the decision-making process behind the construction of the communist center. Using party archives, I argue that although nationalism continued to be used in Romanian planning and architecture after the communist takeover, the Ceaușescu regime differed significantly from both the Gheorghiu- Dej regime and the interwar period. -
