my dearest good romanian,

where was your so called pride 16 years ago when you left for america? were you trying to see the bigger picture just like you claim you are doing nowadays?

the bigger picture is not that we are wining or that we are ashamed of ourselves, of our people. the bigger picture is that THIS IS NOT ARCHITECTURE! it is just an apple(and a really green one) at a larger scale.

nevertheless, would you live in an apple house?

nevertheless, even if the concept was great, and it all began with an apple, the project is not finished

hahahaha, it looks like they dont care about this expo at all!
its the same story: we care more about how the world looks at us but we dont care at all what we show to the world:))

p.s.: The good romanian, please try to understand that shame feels only the people who understand what pride is, so dont be upset that people want to feel what you cant even accept and that’s not shame::))

Hello,I’m from Bulgaria and i agree that this concept of the apple is a little confusing to the masses.Some of you critisized it and related to the architecture as a whole in Romania but check out Bulgaria’s Pavilion.It’s beyond any kind of comments.I am ashamed of my country’s image in front of the world because i know a fair competition did not exist.I don’t know how it is in Romania presume it’s pretty much the same story.So don’t blame it on the architecture,blame it on the government that lets useless architects embarass our countries.

mda, pe comentariile astea se vede cel mai bine cum suntem: frustrati.. si avem pe buna dreptate muulte motive. iar frustrarea nu stiu daca are vreo legatura cu demnitatea. cat despre proiect.. tipic: cu totii am auzit de el de la altii [arcdaily] si nu putea sa fie decat un cosmar al grinzilor cu zabrele menit sa faca reclama la greenoopooliis, nicidecum tarii noastre. tare penibil

puteai sa zici si tu asta in romana…;) chiar daca sunt si eu in state, nu poti sa-i schimbi pe romani, asta datorita mentalitatii media care li se baga pe gat de la bucuresti, oamenii din romania sunt buni la suflet si naivi-usor de intors pe dos, media de acolo mai poata sa faca rating doar daca ii face pe oameni sa-si imagineze cum deasemenea zambesc a bani si paguba cei care fac deal-ul – firma constructoare si cei insarcinati de guvern… asta este, un fel de speculatie a mediei si asa intr-o istoria haotica si plina de coruptie a Romaniei… ——– si acum sa va dau si eu una: marul e frumos dar parca e asa construit incat iti imaginezi ca pe acolo pe undeva se afla si un vierme, cel putin asa pare a sugera…

beeing proud of my nation – that’s one lesson i would really like to learn. that’s one lesson i’m affraid is learned easyer by people that get out and manage to see the country in a broather perspective. and by that i mean, you emigrate because of the higher living conditions in other places but those came with a price [like everything] – you try and find your identity and you eventually turn back to the country you left and start developing nationalism/patriotism how ever you wanna call it. I’m trying to learn from this lesson even if i get tangled up in what things should be and what they really are.

the success the pavilion is having is in my opinion because the simplistic nature of it is mistaken for simple one. simple things with simple meanings are ussualy more easy to accept and have an opinion about because they accept huge amouth of deviation and abstratization.[for instance i could see in the romanian pavilion as it is this year in shanghai a harsh critique on the eco way of buildings things, or exactly the oposite, there's nothing that tells me i'm wrong in whatever i like to think about it, you could say that this is exactly that the one that came up with the idea wanted, baseing it's design exactly on the diversity of perception and the individual impresion of it, i strongly doubt that]. architecture’s journey into the abstract has it’s downfalls…

i hope i wasn’t to harsh [not my intention].

The Parliament Palace was highlighted and admired as the Romanian Masterpiece and one of the greatest construction in the World by Cultural representative of European Union…have you ever been inside the building…?
But to come back to the point, my son is in Shanghai in this moment and Romanian Pavillion in one of the attraction of this
World Expo….Have you seen the Dutch Pavillion…that’s what I
would call ugly.
In no other nation in the World, people are throwing mud into
each other like Romanians, so if you are a Romanian stop doing that and have a little pride.
Thanks and have a great day,
A good Romanian

Dear Alexandru, that’ your real name, am I wright….
I’m living in North America for 15 years and I cannot belive
Romanians are still ashame of each other and have no pride at all….
After so many years of capitalism (that’s what we wanted)we are still wining and complainning about what we,the Romanians are doing…You will see that,the Romanian Pavillion
in Shanghai will receive a lot of apreciations from the World…
It’s already started and Romanian design it’s had captured a lot of attention by the World Media…so shut up and be proud you are Romanian. Coruption is all over the World, in highly civilized, industrialized countries, maybe you will learn that those guys in Romania are little children compare with what is happening in West….Throwing mud on your own people is very easy….so learn something and get rid of old habbits.
All the best,
A good Romanian

Doamnelor, domnisoarelor, domnilor, ce a fost a fost, nu e nevoie sa ne pierdem si farama de demnitate care ne-a mai ramas certandu-ne in romaneste pe forumuri straine, nu rezolvam nimic in felul asta. La bere, intre prieteni, mai merge scos limbajul de lemn … asa nu. Toata lumea este bucuroasa de faptul ca exista injuratura, in felul asta nu ajungem mai toti la nebuni dupa cum zicea cineva de-al nostru, nu indemn deci la refulare ci la o retinere fata de mediul asta. Daca nu credeti ca archdaily merita macar asta nu inteleg de ce va mai obositi sa mai scrieti ceva. [daca foarte multi arhitecti romani vad si citesc ce s-a scris aici si tac asta nu inseamna ca nu le pasa]
Lucrurile se vor schimba, sa ne pastram putinul optimism [pe care ni-l ascundem de parca...].

Keep the faith compatriots, and have patience…

Bai tu esti arhitect sau ce dracu? Nu vezi ca e un rahat, nu exista concept, idee, directie – find un rezultat instinctual de arhitect prost. Nu vezi ca persoane fara o pregatire in domeniu au ales o solutie in urma un concurs de arhitectura de care nu a stiut nimeni? Problema e mult mai grava decat marul gaunos cu care ne-am facut de tot ca__tul.

serios?! ce e ma atat de “futuristic” intr-un mar???? si daca ai face niste cursuri de estetica poate ai intelege si tu ca un om foloseste termenul “interesant” atunci cand nu poate spune despre ceva ca`i frumos sau urat…nu se poate pronunta.
