Simptome de tranzitie. Symptoms of transition

Autoarea nu scrie usor (si ma critica pentru ca eu o fac). Citind-o, acum, intelegeti si de ce: niciunul dintre textele aici prezente nu este provocator la modul facil si, prin urmare, continua sa fie valabil in aprecierile lui si dupa un numar de ani. Antologabil, adica Ana Maria Zahariade nu da verdicte partizane: ea nu infiinteaza si nici nu desfiinteaza. Doar afirma si consacra: pozitii, edificii, autori. Prin textele ei, intelegem ca... intelegerea arhitecturii nu e usoara, dar ca, odata petrecuta, rasplateste pe masura celui ce a facut efortul si a parcurs drumul. Textele Anei Maria sunt, de aceea, un paradis al nuantelor. - Augustin Ioan, "Sefa", Simptome de tranzitie, Ed. Fundatiei Arhitext design

The author does not write easity (and critscizes me for doing so); when you read her texts, now, you also understand why: none of the texts presented here sets out to challenge in a superficial manner, and therefore continues to put forward judgments which are still valid after a number of years. Ana Maria Zahanade does not issue biased verdicts, does not create and does not demolish, she only asserts and consolidates. positions, edifices, authors. Her texts enable us to understand that.. it is not easy to understand architecture, but thot, once it has happened, there is a reward for that who made the effort and travelled the road. This is why Ana Maria's texts represent o paradise of nuances. - Augustin Ioan "The Boss" Symptoms of transition, Arhitect design Foundation Publishing House
