The south-eastern Transylvania region in Romania currently has one of the highest numbers of existing fortified churches from the 13th to 16th centuries. It has more than 150 well preserved fortified churches of a great variety of architectural styles.
The Workshop aims to search architectural resilient solutions for the future of the Saxon fortified churches, that remained without the traditional communities who created and maintained them during centuries. The participants will work in teams of about 4-5 students, guided by the invited professors and specialists, debating the case of Dealu Frumos or of other fortified church among the visited examples.
