1.Duiliu Marcu
Duiliu Marcu (1885-1966) was a Romanian architect, an outstanding personality of interbelic architecture, professor of the history of architecture and full member of the Romanian Academy.
He is best known for designing some of the largest government building projects in Bucharest in the 1930s. They include the Military Academy, the Victoria Palace and the State Railway Palace.
T5 It is part of a series of 7 electricity transformers, different in design depending on the location.
The T5 transformer is located at the intersection of two streets that have a level difference of approximately 5m, thus resulting in a volume with specific tower proportions, with a plan footprint of only 11m2 (4.24m x 2.59m) and a height of cornice of 7m (ridge of 9m). Once it became private property in the 1990s, the building was converted into a jewelry workshop.
With these electricty transformer stations, the architect wanted to show that industrial programs can also be treated with art concerns.
