Window Schedule, RO: Restoration & Transformation of Broken Windows



Successful Competition Entry for Timisoara Architecture Biennale (BETA), Built / 2026

In the former Ion Mincu Technical College, the pragmatic task of repairing broken panes becomes an inquiry into the building’s future reuse. We propose constructing four new window prototypes, each functioning as a mock-up for the building’s future life. Each plays with a different kind of threshold — walk-up window, revolving door, hung pane, and bay window — as well as a different opening mechanism — awning, pivot, sliding, and casement.

These new window prototypes directly augment the use of their respective adjoining rooms during Beta Biennale. At the same time, they lay the groundwork for a broader reimagining of the building by producing new spatial conditions: a public interface for gathering and exchange in the courtyard, a new rotating front door to the park, a sliding parapet crown signaling a renewed relationship with the garden, and an enclosed quiet place of repose with a view. These four windows can be easily adapted to multiple positions across the facade, working in tandem with neighboring Beta interventions.

The windows are produced in collaboration with Lipoplast, a window manufacturer based in Timișoara. At a larger scale, the windows are envisioned as a system of elements that could deploy across the entire façade, taking advantage of the building’s modular and repetitive elevation. As a riff on the traditional window schedule drawing, the project explores potential window types that range from the existing, standardized to the imaginative, whimsical. ‘Window Schedule’ aspires to synchronize the many viewpoints of architectural production: design intention, regulatory demands, site coordination, and fabrication by shifting the schedule drawing from a technical inventory to an activating diagram reframing how the campus can be repurposed and given new life.
