Lipscani area map

client: USA Embassy in Bucharest (commisioned by Pro Patrimonio Foundation)
project: panoramic map layout, illustrations

The panoramic map of the historical center of Bucharest (the Lipscani Area) is a virtual reconstruction, based on over 7000 photos taken in March 2004. The map is designed to facilitate the discovery of the historic charm of Lipscani.

The project was coordinated by arch. Aurelian Triscu, specialist in the history of architecture and member of the Pro Patrimonio Foundation board. It was financed by the USA Embassy in Bucharest, and published in Romanian, English and French versions. On 1 st July 2004, the American Embassy in Bucharest organized at the Stavropoleos monastery a ceremony, in order to celebrate the finalization of the monastery restoration works and to launch the Bucharest Panoramic Map (both projects had been financed by the US Embassy). HE Mr. Michael Guest and US Embassy representatives, Father Marchis (Stavropoleos), Mrs. Maria Berza and four PP representatives (including two of the PP volunteers), me and the photographer Gabi Balanescu attended the event.
